Previous team recapitulations: Uta, Was
While the Playoffs of the NBA are in full evolution, now is a good time to raise the fantasy basketball season for the 30 teams.
In the following weeks, we will provide a recap for each team, starting with the team with the worst record and ending with the NBA champion in June.
The Charlotte Hornets come to another season that led to injuries that led to another trip to the lottery and many questions about where to go from here.
Charlotte Hornets 2024-25 SEASON RECAPTULATION
Register: 19-63 (14th, east)
Offensive rating: 106.7 (29a)
Defense rating: 115.7 (24th)
Net rating: -19.1 (27th)
: Rhythm: 98.22 (23)
2024 Draft: 14 percent chance of gaining lottery, 33, 34
For the third consecutive season, the Hornets returned to the lottery. The injuries derailed their year once again, with Lamino Ball, Brandon Miller and Mark Williams playing less than 50 games. In fact, only Moussa Diabate, Josh Green and Seth Curry won the 65 -game of the league games for the post -season awards. Of course, none of them were about to head, but the whole team was decimated by several injuries. This was only 19 wins, which was its worst season since 2011-12, the famous 7-59 bobbins.
This was the first season for the main coach Charles Lee, and did not receive a just hand from all injuries. However, there are the teams of a competitive team. Dance, Miller, Williams and Miles Bridges are a strong core four, and will add another higher choice of a loaded class. They have other solid pieces along the list, but they simply have to be more available from top to bottom if they want to return to the post -season. They did the Play-in Tournament during the 2021-22 season, but the last time they made the playoffs it was during the 2015-16 season.
Fantasy stands out: SF/PF Miles Bridges
There were not many positive this season in Charlotte, but Bridges was constantly productive and available. In its 64 appearances, Bridges had an average of 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.2 three per game while firing a sub -subpar 43.1 percent from the ground. The rebounds and the assists were high in career despite the fact that their minutes dropped from 37.4 per game during the season 2023-24 to 31.7 per game last season.
Bridges was the only player in this team that was available to play in 50 games. The bar was not tall who was the most shocking fantasy player on this team and it could have been even better if he played as much as he did during the previous season. This was the first season of a $ 75 million three -year contract for Bridges, so it will continue to be a consistent producer for Hornets for at least two more seasons. It has passed the point of his career in which he makes drastic improvements and, if they are better luck in injury next season, Bridges could see a dive in production.
Fantasy revelation: C Mark Williams
After losing a calendar year of games, Williams returned to the program in December. He adapted to 44 times, which was a new career for him, and promised 15.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, which were also high career, although they did not see an increase in minutes.
Charlotte agreed to a trade that Williams sent the Lakers shortly after Luka Doncic acquired, but the agreement was terminated after Williams failed his physique. It was a strange situation, but Williams returned to the program later and could play at a high level. He has fought for so many injuries during his first three seasons in the League and has been limited to 106 race matches. He lost a good number of games sporadically, but the only time he lost more than two in a row (after he lost the first month of the season) followed the failed trade. Williams will be healthy all the low season and, if you can have a relatively healthy campaign 2025-26, should participate for another great season.
Fantasy disappointment: SG/SF/PF Brandon Miller
With the number of games all teams lost, it is difficult to distinguish the most disappointing. However, as other team players have the title “prone to injury”, and Miller 27 were less than the other team’s standard league players. Its percentage of field goals also dropped from 44 percent as a new 40.3 percent this past season. He promised 21 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 robberies and 3.9 threads in 34.2 minutes per game.
The three -point rate insane was a fun improvement and a partial explanation for the fall of the percentage of the field target. The other explanation is that his mid -range shot was retreated. After shooting 47.9 percent of the mid -range as a Novio, he made only 30.2 percent of his average range features last season. The volume was smaller, but it was a disappointing development. Miller should bounce in the third year, but some minor regressions and an early injury ruled out their second season after a strong new year.
Fantasy/look recapitulations
PG/SG LAMELO BALL:
The good news: Ball set up a new race for points per game and played more games than each of the last two seasons. The bad news: he only played 47 games and published the worst percentage of field goals in his career. The ball had an average of 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.1 robberies and 3.8 triples in 32 minutes per game.
Apart from the points and three, the dance numbers were slightly successful this past season. Nothing fell alarming and played more than twice this season. Lamelo will continue to go early in the drafts due to the talent he is, but playing 105 games in three seasons is a poor brand. All will be forgiven if you can have a healthy campaign 2025-26, but it is difficult to bank it. However, it is productive enough when it is on the ground to be risk.
PF/C Grant Williams:
Williams’ 2024-25 campaign was reduced after it started its ACL in November. Before that, Williams promised 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 robberies, 0.8 blocks and 1.7 threads per game. He did seven games, but when this team is totally healthy next season, Williams will probably play a reserve role. It is an excellent piece of rotation and will provide them with a low depth. However, their fantasies will be limited when there are wounds in front of them.
C Jusuf Nurkic:
Nurkic opened the season as a Suns starting center, but a few weeks later it became clear that it would not last. After some drama with the main coach Mike Budenholzer and who dropped from the rotation, Nurkic was treated in Charlotte in the trade period. In 26 games with the Hornets, Nurkic promised 9.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in only 18.1 minutes per game.
You should enter next season as a decent backup center behind Mark Williams last year of your contract. He is still able to contribute with decent fantasy value when he gets the minutes, but last season he did not make a reputation, and it is difficult to imagine any team that gave him a center job. However, if it is able to deal with a larger role, it can provide well -rounded count statistics for a center.
PG/SG three men:
It was an excellent beginning of the year for Mann and, after the first games, it seemed that he would have a case for most of the best year or the sixth man of the year. However, a back problem kept him out after mid -November. Of course, Charlotte did not make much clarity in the seriousness of his injury, so it was never clear that Mann became neglected for the rest of the year.
During his 13 appearances, Mann promised 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, three assists and 1.8 triples in 24.5 minutes per game. It should have some free agency suitors restricted this summer, but if he returns to Charlotte, he should play a significant reserve role and supply a lot of offense. He did not get many robberies this season, but he promised 1.2 the previous year. Theft is usually a volatile statistics and could certainly jump next season.
SG/SF Josh Green:
After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Mavericks, Green started with the Hornets this season. In his first year with his new team, Green promised 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 robberies and 1.4 threads in 27.8 minutes per game. He has never been a great player for fantasy hoops, but Green is a young defender shocking the wing. This means that it will play significant minutes, even if not much for fantasy managers. It has not ended in the first 200 formats of nine cats during the first five seasons of his career.
C Moussa Diabate:
Diabate signed a two -way agreement with Charlotte last summer after playing two -way contracts with the clippers during the previous two seasons. Due to the injuries to Mark Williams and Nick Richards, Diabate played a larger role than expected and took advantage of it, which caused him to win a complete contract that will hold him with the Hornets until 2027.
Diabate promised 5.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game, but it was much better when he played a larger role. In eight games last season, he promised 7.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and one robbery per game. He also led the team with 71 games played. Diabate has the potential of being a dominant rebound, but his perspective for the next season is darkened with Williams and Jusuf Nurkic ahead.
PG/SG Nick Smith Jr.:
Smith Jr. He started his second season playing a small role, but saw that the season increased, largely due to Brandon Miller’s injury. He played 22.8 minutes per game this season and had an average of 9.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 threads per game. The old five -star perspective has shown some fun flashes during its first two seasons in the league, but it is likely that it is nothing more than a Charlotte de -depth scorer next season. The clearest path for your fantasy production is more injured in playing in the depth graph.
PF Tidjane Salaun:
The general team number 6 last summer did not comply 19 until after the Summer League and was written by its magazine. It was considered to be a raw perspective and it was exactly how it was seen. It appeared in 60 games and promised 5.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a triple in 20.7 minutes per game.
More prominent, fired 33 percent abysmal from the ground. For Stathead, there were nine players written among the top ten who played at least 20 minutes per game as a new game and promised less than six points per game. The only one who shot the worst from the floor that Salaun was Rookie Cody Williams’s partner
Restricted Free Agents: Three men, Wendell Moore Jr.
Free agents without restrictions: Seth Curry, Taj Gibson
