Nicolas Batum is Rounding Back into Form For the Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets had an astounding start to their season and a lot of their success was due in large part to the stellar play of Nicolas Batum. The team traded for the veteran swingman in the off-season from the Portland Trailblazers.

Batum came out of the gates firing as he led his team to a 14-8 record to being the year. He was averaging 16.7 points per game, 4.8 assists per game, and 6.6 rebounds per game in the first 22 games of the season. He also had five double-doubles and one triple double during that time.
