Disappointment and injury have marred the Charlotte Hornets this season. Kemba Walker, Nicolas Batum, Cody Zeller, Frank Kaminsky, Jeremy Lamb, Michael Carter-Williams and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist have all missed multiple games. Add it up, and you get a 9-16 team coming off two bad losses at home and facing some tough decisions. Bright spots have been rare, but if you look close enough, there is one.
Jeremy Lamb has broken through and has provided a glimmer of hope for a franchise that desperately needs it.
