2014-15 Breakout Player: Lance Stephenson
Word: While I don’t envision Lance Stephenson’s numbers exploding next season, I do see him performing really well for a Hornets team that will greatly benefit from a player who has the winning pedigree that Stephenson developed during his stint with the Indiana Pacers. He’ll still have some really good numbers, just above last season’s.
