You can literally generate a draft night bingo card

Good afternoon! We just released our Carolina Panthers draft guide to paid subscribers over at @SportCLT! Was incredibly fun making it with the team, and there's a ton you can do on the site. Subscribe to SportCLT to get early access: (link to preview below):

People talk about how the 2022 Hornets were the only Eastern Conference 43-win team to be the 10-seed, but here's a crazier one: - Only one 6 seed in the East in NBA History has had more wins than the 2016 Hornets (48) That team was the 1997 Hornets (54!!!)

Highest average point differential in wins, all-time: 2025-26 CHARLOTTE HORNETS (+18.1) 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (+17.5) 2024-25 OKC Thunder (+17.3) 2021-22 Boston Celtics (+16.9) 2011-12 Philadelphia 76ers (+16.8)

With the Hornets (presumably) winning tonight, they'll join the 1996-1997 Hornets as the only 2 teams in franchise history to win at least 23* games in a 30-game span (the '97 Hornets won 24/30) * - The 2015-2016 Hornets won 22/30 to finish the regular season

We’re building an interactive, team-specific NFL Draft guide for Panthers fans over at @SportCLT. Can’t wait for you all to get to see it. Fernando Mendoza’s profile, courtesy of @stevestweets_:

our guy balled out and got eastern conference player of the week🕺 🔗 on.nba.com/4lMKc29 | #HiveMentality

YOUR EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYER OF THE WEEK. 🕺🏽 3-0 during the week 🛸 averaged 26.3 PTS, 5 REBS, 7.3 AST, 2.3 STL 💕 leads NBA in 3PM since Dec. 1 #HiveMentality | @MELOD1P

Most combined PPG that come from 3-pointers for every NBA team's Top 3 scorers: 1. Hornets- 30.6 PPG T2. Celtics/Lakers - 23.1 PPG ... 19. Grizzlies- 16.2 PPG 2nd on this list is closer to 19th than they are to the Hornets. One of the most prolific groups of star shooters ever

Morgan says HC Dave Canales wanted to work with QB Kenny Pickett and was fond of him during the evaluation process. Says his mobility was a big part of that

Morgan says Yosh Nijman’s retirement caught them off guard but completely understands the decision

Dan Morgan on Rasheed Walker’s 1-year deal: “It gives us the flexibility to draft the best available player, if that’s a tackle, then so be it.”

Dan Morgan says adding another player to the QB room during the draft is an option should the board fall that way

I will need to see Eric Collins’ name in the rafters one day as well.

Really enjoyed reading this from @mpscrapzzz. A touching tribute to Dell Curry and his impact on Charlotte:
