With this summer’s free agency festivities over, it’s time to start looking towards next year’s class. These rankings are based on fit with the Charlotte Hornets’ current roster, probability of the player leaving his current team, and potential salary considerations. Keep in mind that the best fit is not always the best player(s) available, so this isn’t a ranking of the top five available free agents-to-be, but the top five for Buzz City.
5. J.J. Redick
The long-time sharpshooter will be an unrestricted free agent and would bring stability to the two-guard position in Charlotte.
