Any FA Big men left?

Be  Al, Zeller, Frank, Hawes, Marvin - the question should be, "Do we have a roster spot for another big man?"

But to answer your question: http://hoopshype.com/2015/06/11/nba-free-agency-2015-the-top-centers-available-this-offseason/

We have 2 more roster spots..  We can definitely use a shot blocking big at one of them... 

Keith Benson,  Ryan Hollins maybe....

The Hornets are stacking their roster with versatile players, lots of guys who can play multiple positions well. IMO they still need to address getting a rim protector, aggressive rebounder. This is exactly what Biz was supposed to be, but what about JaVale McGee?

Yes, he does make a few dumb errors every game, but he is better than Biz will ever be. He would also allows us to have lineups that feature Al at the 4 when we go against teams with a legitimate scoring center.

JaVale could be a perfect energy guy, and would definitely become a crowd favorite with his highlight plays.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
