Why the Trade Benefits the Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets received some bad news last week with the announcement of Gordon Hayward’s fractured finger. This puts a bit of a damper on the season-opener but it does not change the fact that LaMelo Ball is going to be very exciting. To become a complete lineup, the Hornets will have to improve their frontcourt.
Nikola Vucevic is an extremely intriguing name that could be sent to Charlotte. He is a big man who could run the floor and step out to shoot from deep. The Hornets would have an elite pick-and-roll combination with Vucevic and either Ball or Devonte’ Graham.
In the NBA right now, guard play is important but the dynamic of a stretch-big has taken over in recent years. Vucevic fits that mold and would be a great addition for the Hornets.
This is a team that is desperate to compete. They have attempted to spend money over the years. With the addition of Ball, the franchise might feel like they are close to becoming a postseason team. Vucevic would help that cause right away.
