DOG STATUS BREAKDOWN
The LaMelo Ball era has begun (in Charlotte) - Hornets’ Undisputed Franchise Player: in a great position to (eventually) lead a turnaround in Buzz City.
The latest in the line of enormous, highly-skilled wings to break into the Association, Brandon Miller gets it done.
Duke’s Mark Williams could anchor the middle in Charlotte for some time to come - nicknamed “The Condor” - Williams extends extremely far to snag rebounds and serves as a towering shot-blocker.
Tre Mann is just fun to watch: tricky ball-handler w/ a never-ending supply of maneuvers to generate a shot.
Nick Smith Jr. incorporates a flowy sort of style that allows him to decide what he wants (to do) in that exact moment.
Nick Richards: momentum-shifting pivot who makes spectacular plays as a finisher & shot-blocker.
Grant Williams has Star UnderDOG written all over him - developing into a special role player.
