19. Charlotte Hornets

Backcourt: Kemba Walker & Nicolas Batum

The Hornets may look to start either MKG at the 2-spot or Batum there. My guess would be Batum, since he has a little more offensively-polished game.

Walker, when healthy, has the ability, when teamed with Jefferson, to lead the Hornets to the playoffs, but last season was just a total disaster. Kemba seems to have no chemistry with the players on the floor and now he will be asked to do more as Batum is an inconsistent scorer.
