Expecting a bigger leap from the Charlotte Hornets, that went only 36-46 final year using a largely similar roster, would be possible when the team had addressed its main problem.
Dwight Howard can help, though he’ll also keep the tremendously underrated Cody Zeller off the ground. Lest we forget, the Hornets’ web rating improved by 10.4 points per 100 possessions when the incumbent center played in 2016-17. Malik Monk should also provide a nice scoring punch off the bench.
When Kemba Walker sits However, what happens?
He had been the unquestioned motor for Charlotte throughout the effort, but he wore down toward the center of the season.
Tasked with too many duties on the offensive end and also constantly asked to make his own shots, Walker had the All-Star break to refresh and could not quite lead the charge back into the playoff picture during the season’s second half.
Maybe the story would have lacked rather differently if a competent backup point guard had graced the depth chart to mitigate the downfalls if Walker had breathers.
Now, this job is filled by Michael Carter-Williams. The former Rookie of the Year is by no way a game-changing existence, along with his inability to shoot could wreck the next unit’s spacing. He’s simply not a fantastic match from a personnel standpoint, and that will place the same kind of strain on Walker once more.
Expecting six additional victories is reasonable since the group develops and fits in the new additions. Seven is pushing against it.
