19-year-old Cooper Flagg leads the NBA in PER. Ty Jerome is scoring 42 points per 100 possessions across this and last season (5th in the NBA, min. 19 games) Toumani Camara has a 91% True Shooting percentage. My top five players to keep an eye on roycewebb.com/p/these-5-nba-…

The Charlotte Hornets had the point differential of a 53 win team last season Luck in close games tends to not translate season to season They lost LaMelo, but got Reid, who projects better than Bridges Their Over/Under line for 2026/27 is 38.5 What am I missing?

What I wrote last summer: The Hornets will be Dennis Schröder's 13th stint (12 different teams, Lakers 2x) in 14 seasons Acquiring him & not pondering why he's always available seems like a mistake I'm buying puts on the Hornets' team chemistry, relative to last year
