3. Nicolas Batum, Charlotte Hornets, Unrestricted

2015-16 Stats: 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 43 FG%, 35 3PT%

Nic Batum had quite the season in Charlotte. The swiss army knife was the Charlotte Hornets’ second best player behind Kemba Walker and showcased his versatility night in and night out. Batum is a fantastic point forward in today’s NBA, and is able to act as a distributor alongside Walker.

Looking at all the rumors surrounding Batum, it seems very likely he will be re-signing with Charlotte, especially as he attempts to accelerate his free agency process in the attempt to play for France this summer.

Expect to see Batum back in Charlotte next season where he will continue to showcase his versatility and perimeter shooting.

Next: No. 2
