Coby White ranks 23rd among NBA point guards entering 2026-27 season

Summary

HoopsHype has ranked Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White 23rd among NBA point guards for the 2026-27 season. This marks White's first full season as a starter following his trade from the Chicago Bulls, where he averaged 18.6 points prior to joining the Hornets. In his first season with Charlotte, White will be stepping into a role vacated by LaMelo Ball, who was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. During the offseason, the Hornets added Dennis Schröder for depth in the backcourt and plan to start White alongside several new teammates. The Hornets finished last season with a 44-38 record and are still looking to break a playoff drought that has stretched for 10 seasons.
