Charlotte Hornets no longer expected to pursue centers in free agency

After an eventful draft night, the Charlotte Hornets are now set to enter free agency. However, their plans have seemingly changed.

When the offseason began, most people believed that the Hornets would be big players in free agency. Specifically, the thought was that they would go after a center. Names like Richaun Holmes and Nerlens Noel became very popular amongst fans. Things have changed since the start of free agency, though.

On the night of the 2021 NBA Draft, the Hornets made not one, but two trades. First, they acquired Mason Plumlee and the 37th overall pick from the Pistons in exchange for the 57th overall pick.
