The Charlotte Hornets are off to another 3-5 start, which is probably not what fans expected, given the fanfare surrounding their offseason moves. It appears they have yet to learn from some of their failings last season, including taking care of the ball.
In the 2024-25 campaign, the Hornets averaged 15.5 turnovers per game, the sixth-worst mark in the entire league. The blunders resulted in opponents scoring 19.5 points per contest off those turnovers.
So far this year, they have become slightly worse, turning the ball over 16.3 times per contest. Interestingly, it seems that other teams have also been somewhat careless, as Charlotte is somehow ranked 19th in this category.
