Charlotte Hornets
It is no secret that the Hornets are going to be looking for a new, high-level frontcourt player in the offseason, especially since Cody Zeller is set to become a free agent. Outside of Zeller and P.J. Washington, the Hornets do not have many options to turn to in their frontcourt and getting a player like Drummond could not only push them into the playoffs, but make them a team that could definitely make some noise.
Charlotte is one of the most dynamic and exciting teams to watch this year because of all of the young, high-level talent they have on their roster. Led by rookie LaMelo Ball, the future is extremely bright for this Hornets organization, but they are still a few pieces away from being real threats in the East.
Adding Drummond not only gives them another veteran player to lean on besides Gordon Hayward, but somebody that can control the glass for them on both ends of the court. Overall the Hornets are not that bad of a rebounding team, as they currently rank 16th in the league in total rebounds per game, but they could easily move into the Top-10 with the addition of Andre Drummond.

Before joining the Lakers, Drummond was averaging 17.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and shooting 47.4% from the floor. This is the kind of production the Hornets will be looking to add in their frontcourt to replace Cody Zeller.
The Hornets are not too far off from being a consistent playoff team, but they will need to upgrade their frontcourt in the offseason. With plenty of cap space to play around with, Andre Drummond would definitely be a great addition to a rising team like the Charlotte Hornets.
