After the first four games are completed, the two best teams will play for the championship, while the rest of the teams will play a fifth non-championship game.
The Hornets roster is expected to consist of Vernon Carey Jr., Nick Richards, Grant Riller, Nate Darling, and, most notably, LiAngelo Ball. Whoever the Hornets select in tomorrow’s draft will surely join the roster as well. The rest of the roster will likely feature some returning players from the Swarm and a couple of undrafted players that are essentially on a tryout.
