21. Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets got off to a 5-3 start. Good. However, they would go on to lose four straight. Bad. Despite their overall struggles, Dwight Howard hasn’t been terrible for this team so far, which should come as a surprise.

Many thought Dwight was done. Turns out, he still had some left in the tank.

Rookies Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon have also been pleasant surprises for the team this season, especially considering that they needed someone to step up in Nic Batum’s absence.
