The Charlotte Hornets have a history of established big man. Faces like Alonzo Mourning, Vlade Divac, Emeka Okafor, and Al Jefferson have all had success under the starting five spot. Last year, that trend came in the way of former three time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard. Chemistry concerns topped the factors that eventually lead to his departure from his team in June.
With Howard gone, the iconic position is up for grabs for the Hornets. Currently, the team has four notable candidates that could take that position, including Cody Zeller, Frank Kaminsky, Bismack Biyombo, and Willy Hernangomez.
