11 – Nicolas Batum, Charlotte Hornets – 6’8″ Forward

The Charlotte Hornets and Coach Clifford had nothing but praise to say about Nic Batum following the 2015-16 NBA season. The “do-it-all” forward is averaging 14.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 5.8 APG, and 2.0 3PG. Nic Batum is literally the meaning of the phrase “do-it-all”.

If Nic gets his way, he is in for a return to Charlotte.

When asked about his free agency period, he said, “The Hornets will be the first call I take come July 1.” With this in mind, and the love of coach Clifford on his side, it sounds like we are in to see Batum on Michael Jordan‘s team come the 2016-17 season, but will he have to fight with Marvin Williams and Troy Daniels for his starting spot? Probably not.

Next: Dwyane Wade
