If the Charlotte Hornets are going to emerge as real playoff threats in the Eastern Conference, they’re going to need to make some sort of move before the stretch run. Without a legit center at the moment, Turner would immediately fill a need for this team while also potentially gaining a bigger role than he currently has with the Pacers.

Turner would be an upgrade over what the team is running out there at the 5 right now and would absolutely help the team’s 29th-ranked defense. One underrated fact about Turner is that he’s also only 25 years old.

He is still young enough that he can grow with the rising Hornets and would almost certainly be in line for a second contract with the team.
