Locked On Hornets - Daily Podcast On The Charlotte Hornets

Hornets Roster is Weird + Why Tidjane Salaun’s Sophomore Leap Will be Critical for the Hornets


Listen Later

Zach Lowe has officially entered the chat—and he's just as puzzled and fascinated by the Charlotte Hornets’ roster as the rest of us. On today’s episode of Locked On Hornets, we unpack Lowe’s comments about the Hornets’ guard-heavy, center-light construction and explore whether Jeff Peterson’s rebuild is quietly genius or just noisy chaos.

The conversation then shifts to sophomore forward Tidjane Salaun, who may have the clearest path to early minutes of any Hornets youngster. With Grant Williams recovering and depth at the four spot in question, Salaun has a golden opportunity. But it’s not about on-ball creation—it’s about decision-making, shooting consistency, and grasping team defensive concepts. Can he grow into the 3-and-D role this team desperately needs?

We also address the recent buzz surrounding Dell Curry and Eric Collins joining Amazon Prime’s NBA coverage. Hornets fans feared the worst—but breathe easy, the iconic duo will still be calling Charlotte games (though they may miss a few).

From roster experiments to Summer League storylines to broadcast surprises, this episode covers everything Hornets fans need to know heading into the weekend.
