Hornets Pivot with Young Core | Charlotte Hornets News

The Hornets just pulled off a seismic trade, sending LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges packing for Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale, signaling a bold pivot toward a young core led by rising star Kon Knueppel. At just 20, Knueppel embraced the change, acknowledging fan frustration but praising the front office’s long-term vision. He’s thrilled about the influx of shooters and believes the new roster is primed for success. A standout rookie with elite shooting and top-2 ROY honors, Knueppel now shoulders more ball-handling duties — and the world is watching to see if he can make the leap to All-Star caliber. It’s a young, rebuilding squad that won’t explode overnight, but with talent and potential, they’re a team to watch as they evolve.
