Present in the list of people supervised by Charlotte to replace Steve Clifford, Charles Lee, current assistant to Joe Mazzulla with the Celtics, gets the job and is hired by the Hornets for 4 seasons. He will be responsible for developing young people, while making this team built around LaMelo Ball competitive in the East.
Here we go ! At the age of 39, Charles Lee was named head coach of an NBA team for the first time. It is in Charlotte that this is happening, and he will have the mission of replacing Steve Clifford, who has joined the front office of the franchise. One of the most experienced assistants on the circuit, his CV, notably built in the shadow of Mike Budenholzer, seduced the North Carolina franchise. ESPN specifies that Joe Mazzulla’s assistant will finish his season with Boston before joining his new team.
New coach in Charlotte!! Charles Lee will take charge of the project! Looking forward to seeing him in action.

His mission ? Improve the Hornets’ results, counting on a young group made up of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. The Draft should bring new high potential to the squad, which will have to be conditioned to perform in the NBA. The deal is signed over 4 seasons, enough to leave – if he completes his contract – sufficient time to truly make his mark on the basketball practiced by the Frelons.
