Adding an efficient big man to this entertaining and talented young squad, the Hornets definitely become much better as a unit.
Currently, James Borrego’s boys are 9th in the East, only 1 game behind the 8th seeded Brooklyn Nets. With 25 games remaining in the regular season, we can expect the Hornets to show urgency in their game as they hope to climb up the standings to clinch a playoffs berth.
