Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams is raving about the team's chemistry following a summer of dedicated workouts.
What did Grant Williams say about the Hornets' offseason?
Grant Williams, the Hornets' power forward, detailed the team's commitment this summer. He noted that over 12 players have been consistently in the gym working together. "We've had probably over 12 guys in the gym, so the group has been very locked in, myself included," Williams said.
He emphasized the collective motivation and camaraderie within the squad. "We want to make sure we have a great group of guys committed to the right things, and this group is very motivated to be that way. We all get along very well," Williams added. This focus on unity comes after Charlotte fell just short of the playoffs last season, losing in the Play-In Tournament to the Orlando Magic.
Why does this matter for the Charlotte Hornets?
Building strong team chemistry is a direct response to last season's disappointing finish. Internal development and cohesion are seen as key to making a playoff push.
For Williams personally, staying healthy is a major objective. He played in only 16 games during the 2024-25 season and 36 games in 2025-26. A full, productive season from him would provide a significant boost to Charlotte's frontcourt. Fans are eager to see if this summer's work translates to more wins on the court.
