Why the Trade Benefits the Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets is full of talent at the guard position but struggles down low. They could use some help in the frontcourt and have many different ways they could go in a potential deal. In this one, they would be acquiring a versatile big.

Capela is a talented rim protector on the defensive end. He is a scoring threat on the block but thrives defensively and rebounding the ball. That’s a type of impact the Hornets need at the center spot.

With all the talent at the guards, Capela would act as a strong pick-and-roll big on the perimeter. Charlotte would also be sending away Zeller, who is a free agent next year.

With the addition of Ball in the draft, Charlotte is going to be one of the most watched teams this season. If nothing else, they should be exciting and Capela would do nothing but add to that.
