  "account": "Charlotte Hornets focused on frontcourt depth during the offseason, adding former Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid and taking Hannes Steinbach with the top rebounding prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft. During the first few days of training camp, Steinbach addressed media inquiries about his role in the team's rotation. He emphasized the importance of playing physical, hard, and right, running the floor, and giving his body to the team. Steinbach's responses reflected typical basketball instincts and good habits, which are contagious. Working alongside last season's Hustle Award winner Moussa Diabate, Steinbach will benefit from a strong example as he embarks on his NBA career.
