## Resource

Charlotte Hornets officially usher in the post-LaMelo Ball era with a blockbuster trade to the Timberwolves, clearing the way for rising star Christian Anderson—drafted 18th overall—to take center stage. Anderson dons number five, a storied number once worn by Mark Williams, Elden Campbell, and Nic Batum. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Hannes Steinbach steps into number 22, previously worn by Mason Plumlee and legends like Johnny Newman and Brevin Knight. The Hornets are boldly rewriting their roster and legacy, setting the stage for a fresh, future-focused identity on the court. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
