Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee opened up about one of the team's top offseason pickups.

You won't hear much about it because the Charlotte Hornets are not a big-market franchise, but the Hornets actually had one of the stronger offseasons in the NBA.

I know that sounds odd based on Charlotte's history, but whether it was shrewd trades, smart free-agent signings and great draft picks, the Hornets did a terrific job over the summer.

Perhaps Charlotte's most high-profile move — outside of drafting Duke's Kon Knueppel — was swinging a trade to acquire guard Collin Sexton from the Utah Jazz, providing a great running mate for LaMelo Ball.

Hornets coach Charles Lee is already loving what Sexton brings to the table and gushed about his new player while speaking to reporters recently.

“He’s been, like, unbelievable since he’s gotten here,” Lee told the media. “The transition’s been seamless. We’re all about daily improvement, and Collin is about daily improvement as well. And so, like, it’s like a perfect marriage."

Sexton averaged 18.4 points and 4.2 assists over 27.9 minutes per game on 48.0/40.6/86.5 shooting splits last season and should provide outstanding insurance for Ball, who has played just 105 games over the past three years due to a litany of injury issues.

"He comes in every day hungry, curious, excited to work. He just absolutely loves this game, and I can tell he loves his teammates, too," Lee added. "He’s come in and he’s already bonded with a bunch of the guys, and he’s earned their respect from Jump Street. I think that it’s because of how consistent he is with his routines and habits."

Sexton was originally selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the eighth overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft and averaged over 20 points per game in his second and third seasons, topping out at 24.8 points a night in the latter campaign.

Injuries have plagued the 26-year-old throughout his career, although he managed to appear in 78 and 63 contests over the last two years, respectively.

“And so he brings this dog to our group that they’ve really embraced," Lee continued. "And so I’ve loved the impact that he’s had, I think, just on our whole culture and on our team as well so far.”

Charlotte won just 19 games last season, but thanks to an improving group of young talent and some wily veteran additions, the Hornets could push for a playoff spot in the weak Eastern Conference this year.
