The Charlotte Hornets have been one of the most exciting teams to watch this NBA season not because of the overall talent on their roster, but because of how dynamic and athletic some of their young talents are. With Gordon Hayward and Bismack Biyombo being the only players over the age of 30 on this roster, the Hornets are one of the youngest teams in the NBA and they are really fun to watch! 

They have guys like Terry Rozier and Malik Monk who can knock down numerous three-point shots in succession, they have some young, dynamic talents in LaMelo Ball and Devonte’ Graham who can score, pass and rebound and they have a guy in Miles Bridges who adds a new dunk to his highlight tape every time he steps out on the court.
