Biggest Questions
- Was Gordon Hayward overpaid? The Hornets had to eat the final year of Nic Batum’s contract to pull off this massive contract to acquire Hayward. We will soon find out if Hayward is the answer Charlotte was looking for.
- How quickly does LaMelo Ball become the best player on the team? There is no question that he has the talent and ceiling to be the face of the franchise. In fact, that’s why the Hornets selected him No. 3 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Will he become their top option in year one?
