The Charlotte Hornets awed plenty of people around the league with their flurry of offseason moves that have set them up nicely for the future. The roster still has some holes, mainly at the frontcourt. Even so, Dan Favale of Bleacher Report named them as one of the five teams that quietly dominated this summer.
We all know the reasons. For one, Charlotte pulling a fast one on an NBA executive known for fleecing other organizations was a masterclass. Who would have thought that the Hornets had it in them to turn a third-string center, Jusuf Nurkic, into a possible starter, Collin Sexton, and a future second-round pick?
