Ray and Nick bring Eamon Cassels of FanSided on the show to discuss the remarkable season of the Charlotte Hornets, and some possible parallels between them and the Sacramento Kings. They begin by talking about the Hornets’ season as a whole and their mid-season turnaround, before focusing on four key Hornets pieces in that turnaround: Moussa Diabaté, and the rookie trio of Kon Knueppel, Ryan Kalkbrenner, and Sion James. Then, they talk about the impact of the new Hornets on Charlotte star LaMelo Ball and discuss the work of Hornets head coach Charles Lee in depth. They wrap up with a discussion of how lessons from the Hornets’ turnaround might apply to the Kings and their plans going forward.
