Following the Mitch Kupchak era, the Charlotte Hornets quietly hired Jeff Peterson to be their new GM. In the time since that hiring, the Hornets have slowly but surely stockpiled assets and begun building for a legitimate future for the first time in a long while.
Gone are the days of Charlotte having a league-worst front office/management team. In fact, the Hornets ranked 20th on Sam Quinn's rankings with CBS Sports, but he had plenty of good things to say about Peterson and company.
"They've slow-played their rebuild but are largely managing it well thus far," Quinn said.
