New Era for Charlotte Hornets: Former NBA Assistent Charles Lee Takes Over as Head Coach

After years of waiting, Charles Lee has finally been given the chance to shine as the new head coach of the Charlotte Hornets. The Boston Celtics lead assistant and top assistant coach has signed a four-year contract and will take over from veteran coach Steve Clifford. This move marks a new chapter for Lee, who has long been deserving of a head coaching position.

Throughout the playoff run of the Celtics, Lee will continue his duties with the team before transitioning to his new role in Charlotte. He brings over a decade of experience as an NBA assistant, primarily working under Mike Budenholzer with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. He played a key role in the Bucks’ 2021 NBA championship season. Despite facing tough competition for head coaching positions in the past, Lee has finally landed his opportunity with the Hornets.

As the new head coach, Lee will focus on player development for the Hornets, who are in a rebuilding phase after a challenging season. The team has not made the playoffs since 2016 but has promising young talent, including LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. The Hornets have shifted their focus to the future by trading away veteran players in order to build a solid foundation under Lee’s leadership. It will be up to Lee to guide the team towards success in the seasons to come.
