After finishing the 2024-25 season with a 19-63 record, the Charlotte Hornets started their offseason with more questions than answers. Questions about LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller's health moving forward, Mark Williams' status with the Hornets, and will the team will have an impactful offseason in general.

They added guys that complement their young stars in Kon Knueppel and Liam McNeeley, being talented catch-and-shoot players. While Sion James and Ryan Kalkbrenner landed in the Hornets' lap in the second round, adding four guys to an already young nucleus is a solid foundation for their head coach to stand on as he enters year two.
