A slight starting lineup switch could make a big difference for the Charlotte Hornets during the 2025-26 NBA season. When healthy, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller have previously led the Hornets' backcourt. With Kon Knueppel -- the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft -- now on the roster, that could change. If Knueppel starts, he could take over the shooting guard position while Miller moves to small forward.
In today's fairly positionless world of NBA basketball, though, does it really matter? Will this slight lineup adjustment make a difference?
As one of only two guards in the lineup, Miller would have to focus on helping Ball set up the offense at times.
