Charlotte Hornets roster composition targets NBA three-point record

The Charlotte Hornets enter the 2026-27 NBA season with projections indicating a potential challenge to the single-season three-point record of 1,457 set by the 2024-25 Boston Celtics. Analysts point to a roster deep with perimeter shooters, including Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Coby White, Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and Naz Reid. The team aims to utilize a high-volume shooting configuration despite the departure of LaMelo Ball. Success depends on Miller maintaining health to command defensive attention and the team generating sufficient open looks for catch-and-shoot specialists. Calculations suggest the current roster could produce between 1,380 and 1,500 made threes if players maintain their career shooting percentages. Potential barriers to the record include the impact of team ball movement without Ball and the requirement for sustained player health throughout the 82-game schedule.
