Latest news
The Hornets exercised the third-year team option on McNeeley on Sunday.
McNeeley was the 29th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Since then, the 21-year-old has appeared in 34 regular-season games, averaging 4.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 11.4 minutes. He has not been a factor early in the 2026-27 campaign, playing just 6.3 minutes per game across his three outings so far.

McNeeley is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Boston.
McNeeley started the first two preseason games but will shift to a reserve role in Boston, making way for Royce O'Neale in the starting five. In 31 regular-season appearances as a rookie last season, McNeeley averaged 4.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

McNeeley closed with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and one rebound in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to Brooklyn.
McNeeley was inserted into the starting lineup, replacing Brandon Miller, who was ruled out with a minor leg concern. McNeeley thrived on the offensive end, scoring a team-high 14 points, including four triples. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, the likelihood that McNeeley plays a significant role this season is quite low. However, should injuries befall the Hornets, McNeeley's ability to score the basketball could put him on the radar as a speculative short-term streaming option.

McNeeley is starting Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets.
McNeeley is filling in for the injured Brandon Miller (leg) on Tuesday. He's looking to carve out a meaningful Opening Night role off the Charlotte bench.

McNeeley recorded 20 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 26 minutes in Sunday's 87-75 Summer League loss to the Celtics.
McNeeley struggled from three-point range but still led the Hornets in scoring for a third consecutive contest. The 2025 first-rounder also led Charlotte in rebounds. He's reached the 20-point mark in two of his three outings so far this summer, during which the forward has shot 45.2 percent from the floor and 63.2 percent from downtown.

McNeeley closed with 17 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 27 minutes in Saturday's 95-91 Summer League loss to the Pelicans.
McNeeley wasn't able to replicate his 28-point performance from Thursday's Summer League opener, though he still poured in a team-high 17 points. The UConn product appeared in 31 regular-season games last season, averaging 4.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest. The 2025 first-round pick will compete with the likes of Royce O'Neale, Sion James and Dorian Finney-Smith for minutes off the bench during the 2026-27 campaign.
