19. Charlotte Hornets

Projected Starting Five: Kemba Walker, Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller

The big question for the Charlotte Hornets’ starting lineup will be whether or not it has enough shooting. While Kemba is coming off a career year, losing a player like Courtney Lee will definitely hurt.

Nicolas Batum sliding to the shooting guard position will help on the defensive end, but I’m not sure how he’ll fit on the offensive end at the 2. Will he shoot consistent enough? It’s a real question. The same could be said about MKG, who is coming off an injury.

Marvin Williams is coming off a great season, but there are certainly questions moving forward in his game.

Wait, Cody Zeller is still the starting center?
