Hornets slide in power rankings amid league-worst offensive numbers

Charlotte fell from 17th to 22nd in a power ranking as its offense struggles: the assessment cites a league-worst offensive rating and 30th-ranked turnover and shooting efficiency, with the defense 14th. While one analysis argues White and Knueppel’s returns may not resolve broader playmaking problems, another points to encouraging past lineup data involving White, Knueppel and Miller, while cautioning that the sample is tiny.
