Tidjane Salaun, Charlotte Hornets' first-round pick, has shown promising growth in his offseason training, as noted by assistant coach Chris Jent. Despite a rocky rookie season, where his stats fell short, Salaun's dedication to improving his physical strength and game IQ is evident. Training focused on conditioning and defensive drills is key to his development.

With the chaotic environment of the previous season behind him, Salaun's progress is being handled with patience. The Hornets aim to transform him into a well-rounded player rather than expecting instant results. His ability to adapt and perform could significantly impact Charlotte's performance.
