Hornets record: 25-57

Breakout players: Bacon, Miles

-Losing Kemba hurts but I don't think he's worth a full 20 wins. I think 23 is the floor 30 is the ceiling.
-Team will play hard every night and lose some truly ugly games but also play surprisingly feisty in others.
-Rozier's contract will look somewhat defensible by next July after a decent year as starter and all the scrubs who will be getting $20m+ in a poor 2020 FA class.
-A lot of wins will come after the All-Star break. Some of that will be progression of youth, some of it will be our team being less willing to pack it in than other cellar dwellers.
-At least two other teams will tank so blatantly after the ASG that they finish with worse records than Charlotte. It ultimately will not matter, bottom 4 share best odds and Hornets will finish in the top half of that group.

Well, this is over an entire season. Injuries and trades happen and other guys get more run. If I was projecting points for 1 game, it would be different. For comparison, Atlanta Hawks had 7 guys at 10+ ppg last season and an 8th at 9.7.

Oh good lord, judging from some of these predictions, we're going to have an awful season huh...

I just hate these rebuilding type of seasons, sigh.

Not gonna lie, I came here mostly for this. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this be pretty accurate either. I think our front court situation is going to cause us to just get dominated in the paint on a nightly basis. I think PJ has a good year once we realize he’s a PF and not a C.

Record: 13-69

Hopefully the losing don’t ruin PJ Washington and he can avoid injury. I like what I’ve seen from him. He could be the one true bright spot of this season that give optimism into next season.

Most of the board will give up any optimism on Miles by the end of the season.

Monk will be traded or banished to DNP-CD duties.

Jordan will strongly consider selling the team. Hopefully for the true fans of Charlotte Hornets basketball sake not to an investor looking to put a team in Vegas or Seattle.

no doubt, the rebounding, lack of defensive presence inside, will be a major source of frustration.
