Charlotte has had one of the most interesting offseasons of every NBA team. They picked up LaMelo Ball, Vernon Carey Jr., Nick Richards, and Grant Riller in the draft and signed Gordon Hayward to a massive, 4-year contract worth $120 million. All of these additions should give Hornets fans something to cheer about, but the most exciting player to watch just may be someone who was already on the team.
Last year rookie P.J. Washington ranked fourth on the Hornets in scoring, averaging 12.2 points per night. Before coming to the league, Washington spent two years at the University of Kentucky under coach John Calipari.
