Charlotte Hornets 1990-91 Roster and Stats

The 1990-91 Charlotte Hornets season marked their third year in the NBA. Under head coach Gene Littles, the team finished with a 26-56 record, placing them last in the Central Division. Despite the disappointing record, the season was notable for the performance of second-year player J.R. Reid, who emerged as a key contributor. The Hornets struggled defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in points allowed per game.

On the brighter side, the team saw promising development from rookie forward Kendall Gill, who was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NBA Draft. Gill averaged 11 points per game, showing potential as a future star. Despite the challenges, fan support remained strong, with the team playing to nearly full capacity at the Charlotte Coliseum. The season laid groundwork for future improvements as the franchise continued to build around its young core.
