Charlotte is finally deep enough to remain competitive and even defeat good teams without LaMelo Ball.
One of the unfortunate themes for the Charlotte Hornets in recent years has been a lack of roster depth. But through the first nearly seven weeks of this season, this team is showing that they're in a far more favorable position when it comes to addressing that problem.
We've seen the Hornets come into a season with what seemed like improved depth over the last couple of years, only for things to more or less fall apart once a few injuries struck.
