The Charlotte Hornets officially sent in their reservation for the 2016 NBA Playoffs. This is their second playoff berth in the past three years and first since the rebirth of the Hornets organization. Thanks to general manager Rich Cho’s offseason moves, the Hornets have come together as somewhat of an underdog miracle team for the 2015-16 NBA season.
The 2015-16 Hornets lineup consists of many new faces such as forward Nicolas Batum, guard Jeremy Lin, guard Jeremy Lamb, rookie forward Frank Kaminsky and guard Courtney Lee. However, out of this list of new contributors, only Frank Kaminsky and Jeremy Lamb are locked up past the end of this season.
