From a stylistic standpoint, the Hornets are still establishing their footing as a team after losing LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges during the offseason. Since Charlotte decided to pivot in a different direction, the squad was expected to take some time to settle into a rhythm, but Knueppel’s absence from the lineup significantly hindered their ability to do so. After setting the rookie record for three-pointers last season, Knueppel is set up to be a focal point of the Charlotte attack, so the Pistons will be taking on an abbreviated version of the Hornets potential later tonight.
