Stephenson was arguably the most disappointing player in the NBA this season, and his struggles mirrored those of the Hornets.
If one player symbolized the 2014-15 Charlotte Hornets, it was Lance Stephenson. Entering the season, Charlotte was a team on the rise while Stephenson was viewed as on the cusp of realizing All-Star potential. Charlotte's offense needed a dynamic offensive player to play alongside Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker, and Stephenson was brought in to fill that role. Thanks to a number of factors however, both Charlotte and Stephenson regressed, and the high hopes of the franchise, along with Stephenson's personal growth, crashed and burned not long into the season.
