Charlotte Hornets
Biggest Hole: Depth
On paper, the Charlotte Hornets actually have quite the impressive starting lineup. Between Kemba Walker, Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller, the Hornets will probably be in contention to return to the playoffs next season.
However, if Charlotte does in fact fall short of such goal, it’ll be because of their lack of depth beyond their initial first wave.
Behind Charlotte’s solid starting five, the Hornets will have to rely on Ramon Sessions, Marco Belinelli, Frank Kaminsky and Roy Hibbert to anchor the second unit. Yup, not exactly the best group of reserves.
This is where the Hornets will miss Jeremy Lin and Al Jefferson the most. The Hornets don’t have anyone to really anchor their bench. That will be a problem.
