Okay, so today I wanted to dive into something that’s been on my mind lately – the Charlotte Hornets depth chart. You know, trying to figure out who’s gonna be playing where and all that good stuff. I’ve been messing around with this for a while now, so I thought, why not share my little journey with you all?
First off, I started by just looking at all the players on the team. It’s kind of a mess, honestly. You’ve got your starters, your backups, and then a bunch of guys who might play, might not, depending on the day. So, my first step was to just list them all out. I used good old paper and pen for this – nothing fancy. I wrote down each player’s name and their usual position.
Next, I tried to figure out who the main starters are likely to be. I spent a good chunk of time going through news, some articles and what the fans are saying. It took some time, but I finally got a decent idea of who’s probably gonna be starting most games.
Then came the tricky part – figuring out the backups. This is where things got a bit wild. Some players can play multiple positions, and some just don’t get a lot of game time, so it’s hard to tell where they fit in. I spent hours moving names around, trying different combinations, and even drawing up little diagrams to see how it all looked on a pretend court. It was kind of fun, but also pretty confusing at times. Also, I watched a bunch of game highlights to see how different players performed in different roles.
- LaMelo Ball (PG)
- Terry Rozier (SG)
- Gordon Hayward (SF)
- Miles Bridges (PF)
- Mark Williams (C)
I also tried to find some cool visual aids online that break down the depth chart. These were super helpful because they gave me a clear picture of how the team might actually line up during a game. I printed out a couple of these and stuck them on my wall to reference while I was tinkering.
After all that, I started putting together my own version of the Hornets depth chart. I used a simple table to organize everyone, with columns for each position and rows for the different players. It wasn’t perfect, and I’m sure things will change as the season goes on, but it felt good to have something solid to look at.

My conclusion:
In the end, I realized that figuring out a team’s depth chart is a lot like solving a puzzle. There are so many pieces, and they can fit together in lots of different ways. It’s not an exact science, but it’s definitely a fun challenge. I’m no expert, but it was cool to see how much you can learn just by paying attention and doing a bit of digging. I’ll probably keep updating my chart as the season progresses and see how close I get to the real thing. It’s all part of the fun, right?
