Summary
The Hornets just lost LaMelo Ball — and instead of searching for a single replacement, they’re betting on a team-wide rebuild. Ball accounted for nearly 20% of shots, 17% of points, and 26% of assists — a void they’re filling by committee. Coby White gets more ball-handling duties, while Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel create their own shots, and rookie Christian Anderson Jr. brings elite passing potential. To compensate for Ball’s scoring, they’ve added sharpshooters like Naz Reid, Grayson Allen, and Royce O’Neale. It’s a bold, “Moneyball”-style gamble: no superstar, just a collective force hoping the sum is greater than the parts.
