## Resource

The Hornets are navigating a bold middle path this offseason—no full rebuild, no tanking, just a strategic blend of veterans and rising stars. Gone is the Ball-led offense, but in comes a deeper, more versatile roster with Coby White stepping up, shooters like Knueppel and Miller thriving, and a frontcourt duo of Reid and Diabate providing scoring and defense. With a stacked bench and four players capable of creating their own offense, this team’s ceiling isn’t 20 wins—it’s likely mid-30s, with a real shot at the Play-In if the young core keeps developing.
