## Resource

The Charlotte Hornets are building depth and potential without big-name stars, with Coach Charles Lee juggling a roster full of intriguing pieces. Rookie Christian Anderson needs G League time, veterans like Dorian Finney-Smith aim for comebacks, and young talents like Tidjane Salaün and Liam McNeeley show flashes but need consistency. Established vets such as Royce O’Neale, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Grant Williams, and Dennis Schröder provide reliable roles. But the real buzz? Coby White stepping into the starting PG role, Kon Knueppel emerging as a shooting cornerstone, and Brandon Miller — the team’s top two-way player — carrying heavy offensive and defensive loads with the potential to elevate the entire franchise.
