0 roto titles · 36 seasons (1988-89–2025-26) · CHH → CHA
The Charlotte Hornets have gone 36 seasons without a Roto Champ title, and 2021-22 is the season that came closest at 2nd of 30. Their average finish is 17.3 all time, against 19.6 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Glen Rice in 1996-97, worth a 12.1 z-score. Miles Bridges is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 5 of its 50 best seasons. One quirk worth knowing: the All-Franchise Team below fills strict positions, so P.J. Washington, Raymond Felton and Anthony Mason all rate above somebody who made it and still missed, purely because their position ran out.
