The Charlotte Hornets have been building up their franchise for a long time. However, despite their efforts, they still struggle to make the playoffs and become serious contenders in the league. This can be due to missing pieces and injured stars. This team has been lacking a solid power forward and center. However, with their 6th pick of the 2024 NBA draft, the Charlotte Hornets added the forward they need.
Charlotte Hornets Select French Foward Tidjane Salaun

Tidjane Salaun is a 6’9” forward who can bring a lot on both ends of the floor. Scouts noted his athleticism and length as assets that can help on the defensive end of the court. He was named MVP of the 2023 Trophy of the Future tournament, averaging 17.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Salaun will be a great fit beside LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Miles Bridges. He will spread the floor with his ability to knock down threes and cut to the basket. Furthermore, he will take defensive pressure off players like Miles Bridges. Ultimately, Tidjane Salaun will add serious depth to the Charlotte Hornets.
Can The Charlotte Hornets Make The Playoffs?
The addition of Tidjane Salaun will not be enough to get the Charlotte Hornets to the playoffs. The biggest struggle for the Hornets is health. If they can keep their stars like LaMelo Ball healthy, then they have a shot at making the playoffs. This is especially true with rising star Brandon Miller and the new addition of Tidjane Salaun. No one has seen the full season of each of these players with a healthy LaMelo Ball. It will be exciting to see how they complement each other in the upcoming season.
