NBA Buy or Sell: Each Team’s Early Season Storylines

5 of 31

Charlotte Hornets

Storyline: Lance Stephenson will average under 10 points per game this season.

The new Hornet is averaging a little above six points per game this season, on a woeful 27 percent shooting from the field this season. It isn’t ideal.

Last year, with the Indiana Pacers, Stephenson averaged a career-high 13.8 points per game. It’s safe to say that he’s on a pace to would fall short of breaking that threshold.

Still, for some ungodly reason, I believe Stephenson will, sooner or later, break out of his early season funk.

Verdict: SELL
