Charlotte Hornets – Kevon Looney

The Charlotte Hornets have a lot of things going for them. LaMelo Ball is a stud, All-Star point guard while Miles Bridges is an almost equally exciting prospect to go along with P.J. Washington for the future.

With a roster full of capable vets like Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier, the Hornets are in a position to compete for a playoff spot next year.

One thing they do not have, however, is a paint presence.

Kevon Looney isn’t the biggest player in the NBA but he has more than proven to be talented enough to anchor a team. His rebounding and rim protection helped spur the Warriors to their latest title run.

There is no doubt Looney will be at the top of the Hornet’s wish list entering the offseason. Though Looney has been keeping his options open, most indicators point toward him returning to the Bay.
