Hornets' Gamble on Backup Guards | Charlotte Hornets News

With no clear backup point guard, they’re thrusting rookie Christian Anderson Jr. into the starting rotation alongside Coby White, despite Anderson needing more development. Sion James and Tre Mann are expected to fill the void, but neither is a proven playmaker. The Hornets are betting on offensive spark to compensate for LaMelo Ball’s absence and White’s inevitable rest — a dangerous gamble given their past struggles without Ball and now a weaker point guard depth chart. This could be a rough season.
