The Hornets have missed the playoffs for eight straight seasons, but the team has started to improve their roster. The team drafted LaMelo Ball in the 2020 NBA Draft, and he has been a great addition to the squad. Charlotte also drafted former Alabama forward Brandon Miller during last year’s draft, and he averaged more than 17 points per game throughout his rookie campaign.

The Hornets added even more young talent to their roster by selecting Tidjane Salaun with the sixth overall pick this year. The team will get to see Salaun and Miller in action throughout the 2024 NBA Summer League. During the team’s most recent game, Miller shot 5-10 from beyond the arc and scored 23 points. Meanwhile, Salaun ended the night with eight points and seven rebounds.

Denver is coming off a disappointing playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but Denver has some promising talent that will further develop this summer. The team acquired Julian Strawther last year, and he was a first round pick by the Indiana Pacers in 2023. The young prospect lit up the scoreboard in Denver’s first 2024 NBA Summer League game, as he scored 32 points and shot 6-12 from three-point range.

Strawther did not receive much playing time during his rookie campaign, averaging less than 11 minutes per game. However, he played in a total of 50 NBA games, which gave him a lot of professional experience. Strawther’s strong start in the NBA Summer League is promising for Denver’s future, as he could become a key player for the team next season.
