Unless a major change takes place, the Charlotte Hornets will begin the regular season with a center rotation of Moussa Diabate, Mason Plumlee, and Ryan Kalkbrenner. That doesn't mean they will end the campaign with those three, though. A recent acquisition of their G League squad, the Greensboro Swarm, could find his way into the Hornets' main roster if he proves deserving of a spot.
The Swarm recently announced that they traded for Ibou Badji, a 7-1 big man who went undrafted in 2022 after starting his pro hoops career in Europe. He has then spent most of his days in the G League, while also suiting up in 22 games for the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2023-24 campaign.
