The Charlotte Hornets Head Coach is James Borrego and will field his starting 5 consisting of Center Cody Zeller, SF Miles Bridges, PG Terry Rozier, SG Nicolas Batum, and SF Dwayne Bacon. Rozier has a task to fill former PG Kemba Walker’s shoes, but the question remains how much production he can deliver. The loss of Jeremy Lamb to the Indiana Pacers is also felt in the ranks. The most likely candidates to fill Lamb’s abandoned void is Malik Monk, Miles Bridges, and PJ Washington.
