No Charlotte Hornets player felt the wrath of the fanbase more than Nicolas Batum this season (except for maybe Micahel-Carter Williams). In his third season as a Hornet, Batum had his worst season by far. Injuries were a part for sure, but there was also concern he was trending downwards due to age. What makes this so problematic is his monster contract that the team is likely stuck with unless the new front office finds a smart way to get rid of it. Batum is 29 and still has four years left on his contract at $22 million a year.
