After a massive shift in the 2026 offseason, it seems like the Charlotte Hornets are already making preparations ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. It is a big deal for this team because they made franchise-altering moves by trading pillars like LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges.
Now, they will be building around Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel as the star players. To replace Ball, they gave Coby White the starting point guard spot, and it seems they are already getting along ahead of the new season with a refreshed roster.

White has secured a long-term future with the Hornets as the starting point guard. He has the right skill set to pair alongside the likes of Knueppel and Miller, as he is a decent playmaker, but he is also a high-level scorer with his natural driving ability and his affinity for jump shots.
Through the years, White has also built a solid reputation for being a good locker room guy. Now that he is stepping into a leadership role in Charlotte, it seems that he is prepared to be one of the Hornets' best leaders ahead of the 2026-27 season.

In fact, White was one of the catalysts for a trip to Miami with some of his Hornets teammates. That is a big deal for the Hornets because they are already building strong relationships with each other. If they can translate that to the court, they will look back on the summer and how they became a much better team.
"A lot of us just went to Miami, got back Thursday. We went for the week, so that was pretty dope. Got to grab dinner, hit the golf course; it was a fun time for all of us. I wanted to get together outside of being here in Charlotte. It was great," White said at one of Miller's events in Charlotte.
As long as the Hornets are building genuine chemistry with each other, the future is bright for the team. Of course, they will have to compete in the loaded Eastern Conference, but they are well prepared to have a lot of fun in the 2026-27 season.
