It's pretty obvious that the center position is currently the weakest spot for the Charlotte Hornets' roster. A group of centers that at the end of this past season featured Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic has now dwindled down to Moussa Diabate, a familiar face in Mason Plumlee and newcomer Ryan Kalkbrenner. However, being in this situation is far from the end of the world for Charlotte.
Plenty of Hornets fans have expressed the sentiment that if this team had a higher-level option at the five, they'd be in a position to take a big leap and maybe even steal a playoff spot in the East in 2025-26.
