Tým byl založen roku 2004 jako Charlotte Bobcats, v roce 2014 došlo k přejmenování na současný název - jde o snahu navázat na původní Charlotte Hornets, kteří hráli NBA v Charlotte v letech 1988 - 2002, než se přestěhovali do New Orleans. Patří do Jihovýchodní divize Východní konference NBA. Charlotte Hornets jsou basketbalový tým se sídlem v Charlotte v Severní Karolíně hrající severoamerickou ligu National Basketball Association.As of right now, he feels third in line and a longshot to do so. If he can put in the work and become the best outside shooter of the three, he may turn enough heads to give himself a solid shot at making the team. Thompson is the biggest of the three and may be the most athletic as well. Scoring from the inside and using his size (6’7″, 180) to finish off imperfect drives was something he could get away with in college, but won’t be as easy to pull off in the NBA. He did a lot of things at Ohio State that may not translate to the NBA. Thompson has a solid stroke and has the potential to be at least a solid three-point shooter from the corners. He saw that number drop to 26.2 percent last year despite playing alongside superstar point guard D’Angelo Russell. Thompson never attempted a lot of threes but he shot respectable percentages his sophomore and junior seasons (40.4 and 35.5). Last year as a senior, he averaged 10.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. Thompson spent four years at Ohio State, seeing his minutes and role increase with each season. His shooting has to be the biggest concern, but if he can provide hope that he can become reliable from deep, the other stuff he does might be enough to make him the frontrunner of these three. Harrison was impressive in NBA Summer League and may have a leg up on Thompson or Williams since he was signed first. He has the size necessary to be a good defender on the wing at 6’6″, but even the best of incoming defensive rookies go through a learning curve when arriving in the NBA. He shot 35.6 percent from three as a freshman, but that fell to just 31.6 percent last year, which is a bit concerning. But he has some combo-guard potential, and that’s what Charlotte would hope for him to show he’s capable of in the NBA.ĪLSO ON HOOPSHABIT: The NBA’s 50 Greatest Players of All-Time Harrison is a natural two-guard having played alongside his twin Andrew, who is a point guard, for most of his life. Harrison was much more well-known too playing at Kentucky and making it to two Final Fours in his two seasons under John Calipari. Harrison was the first of the three to sign and is a higher touted rookie than Thompson.
