The Charlotte Hornets have occupied the bottom of the NBA for years now.
The last time the team eclipsed 40-plus wins was 2021-22 in LaMelo Ball’s second season, and before that star guard Kemba Walker was the team’s leading scorer back in 2015.Â
For the last three seasons, the Hornets have hovered around the 20-win mark, winning 27 games in 2022, 21 in 2023 and just 19 last season.
Despite their lack of success in the last handful of years, it’s only a matter of time until they accrue enough talent to surge in the Eastern Conference.
