Can the Struggling Bulls Exploit the Hornets’ Weakness and Turn the Tide?

The Hornets are in a worse and better situation than the Bulls. They are in a worse situation because they also don’t seem to have a true direction with their roster. However, they are in a better situation because they have a potential star in LaMelo Ball. Ball is potentially the most frustrating player in basketball. If you ever played pickup basketball, he is the guy who is going to shoot from 40 feet away because he didn’t touch the ball the previous possession. When he is hot, Ball is really good. If they can convince him to play within a system and be more selective with his scoring opportunities, they probably could build around him. Trade Giddey for Ball, and I think the Bulls are about the same, but I do think the Hornets improve. The Hornets went just 3-32 without Ball last season, so it isn’t like there is enormous talent around him, or they play better without him. They were 16-31 with him, so clearly a substantial improvement with him being on the court. The good news is that they seem to have hit on Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller is a reliable player as well. They have three young guys to build around, but they need to get serious about playing, and probably could use some veteran presence.
