Analyzing the center position in Charlotte

Aside from the debate between Terry Rozier and Devonte’ Graham, the biggest question mark going into next season revolves around the center position. The Hornets ranked bottom five in the NBA in both rebounds and blocks last season, and also had the worst field goal percentage in the league within 10 feet of the hoop (53.0%). In addition to bringing back Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo, the Hornets picked up two centers in the draft—Vernon Carey Jr. and Nick Richards. The new question is, which center should be getting the most playing time?

Cody Zeller

Pros: Zeller has been in Charlotte for his entire career, making him the longest tenured center (and player) on the roster.
