Gordon Hayward Could Be Sidelined For Season Opener

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (finger) is not going to suit up for the preseason finale on Saturday.

Shop the Sales: 2nd Rounders Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Anthony Edwards - Fantasy Basketball Rookie Profile

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected shooting guard Anthony Edwards first overall in this year’s NBA Draft.

The Timberwolves’ primary nucleus going […]

Cody Zeller Expected To Be Starting Center

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller is expected to be the starting center heading into the regular season, according to head coach James Borrego. He was also called "the closer", which means Zeller will probably get minutes late in games as well. Zeller is expected to see around 23-26 minutes per contest, but he wasn't able […]

LaMelo Ball’s Fit With The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets certainly don’t have an encouraging track record with top-10 draft picks. Since drafting Kemba Walker ninth overall in 2011 – the franchise’s clear best draft pick ever – the team went on to select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2012, 2nd overall), Cody Zeller (2013, 4th overall), Noah Vonleh (2014, 9th overall) and Frank Kaminsky […]

Hornets Draft LaMelo Ball At Third Overall

With the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets have selected guard LaMelo Ball, who spent last season in the NBL playing for the Illawarra Hawks. In 12 games, Ball averaged 17 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. A familiar name long before this year, Ball -- whose brother Lonzo […]

Nicolas Batum Returning To Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum unsurprisingly accepted his $27.1 million player option for next season. This comes as no surprise to anyone after Batum's fantasy value died in Charlotte. He was barely part of the rotation last year and it's unlikely anything changes this season. Batum will serve as a benchwarmer and veteran mentor for […]
