Steve Clifford, who has been with the Charlotte Hornets for seven seasons, including the past two, has an impressive record as their head coach. He has coached 574 games and has 244 wins, making him the all-time leader in both categories for the Hornets.

Although Clifford’s next role with the team has not yet been defined by new general manager Jeff Peterson, he is enthusiastic about helping the Hornets rebound from a difficult season marred by injuries. Charlotte posted the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference with 21 wins and 61 losses.

Looking ahead, Charlotte plans to build its team around the promising young forward, Brandon Miller, who was the second-leading scorer among rookies with an average of 17.3 points per game. Additionally, the Hornets are hoping that former All-Star guard LaMelo Ball will be healthy enough to participate in training camp. Ball was limited to just 22 games due to right ankle tendinopathy, but the team is optimistic about his potential to contribute significantly in the upcoming season.
