As the Charlotte Hornets begin their off-season preparations, the need for a young forward to pair with LaMelo Ball will undoubtedly be a discussion point among front-office members. Whether Mitch Kupchak and Co. decide to acquire that forward via trade or via the draft remains to be seen.

After all, the more information you have on a player and where their ceiling projects to be, the better. As such, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley believes that the Hornets should explore a potential trade for Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, listing him as their ‘dream trade target.
