Unfortunately, I have been a Hornets fan for a while now. And for as long as I can remember, this was Kemba’s team. Kemba Walker was drafted 9th overall by the hornets after an incredible year at UConn. He led the Huskies to a national championship and was named tournament MVP. Then he came to Charlotte…

While I do believe that Kemba was a great player and a strong leader, he didn’t receive much help during his time with the Hornets. Since Kemba was drafted, the hornets have struggled in the draft and in free agency to surround him with talent. However, this off-season Kemba signed with a much more competitive Boston Celtics team. We always knew that Walker’s talent was being overlooked on our struggling squad, so we wish Kemba the best in Boston.

So without a clear cut team leader, Hornets fans weren’t expecting much. However, the Hornets have had a surprising start to their 2019-20 campaign. They have become a completely different team seemingly overnight. If you have been a fan of March Madness in recent years, then you would likely recognize many of these current Hornets.

Devonte’ Graham	Kansas
PJ Washington	Kentucky
Malik Monk	Kentucky
Cody & Caleb Martin	Nevada
Miles Bridges	Michigan State

The Hornets are currently 6-8 on the year. Which isn’t bad for a weaker eastern conference. They are a young and athletic team that has some learning to do, but I think the Hornets have enough for a late season playoff push.

QOTD; Are the Hornets on the come-up? Can they make the playoffs this year? Let me know what you think. Drop a comment below.
