## Resource

One ping-pong ball changed NBA history: the Hornets missed out on Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 draft lottery, watching as the Spurs built a dynasty around him while Charlotte remains stuck in a 10-year playoff drought. What if Wembanyama wore purple and teal? Fans dream of that alternate reality, especially with LaMelo Ball sidelined and past misses like Anthony Davis haunting memories. But the Hornets aren’t giving up—building around young talent, smart drafting, and an underrated coach, they’re finally finding stability. Meanwhile, the Spurs soar with Wembanyama, Dejounte Murray, and Keldon Johnson. For Charlotte, the real test begins: how do you compete without him—and maybe one day, against him?
