What our Post expert thinks about Nets vs. Hornets
Head coach Charles Lee will look to shift the Hornets’ culture and push Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and Duke rookie Kon Kneuppel to support Ball.
As for Brooklyn, Cam Thomas enters a prove-it year. The flashy scorer made only 23 appearances in an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign.
The Nets and Hornets combined to win 29 games last season, as both teams share a mix of youth, potential, and development pieces.
Both teams also struggled to light up the scoreboard, both averaging a near league-worst 105.3 points per game last season.
