With the need for spacing and a shooting threat on the wing, the Charlotte Hornets acquired small forward in Nicolas Batum. Can he play next to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or will there be positional overlap?
One of the first moves of the offseason was the trade that the Charlotte Hornets made for Nicolas Batum of the Portland Trailblazers. It seems like it has been an eternity since this trade has happened after a whirlwind of an offseason, but here we are with training camp right around the corner and rosters starting to finalize.
The Batum trade has brought praise from some and criticism from others.
