Decision time is drawing closer for the Charlotte Hornets, who have less than a week to decide whether or not to extend Cody Zeller. If no extension is offered, Zeller will become a restricted free agent next summer. Unlike in recent years, when the decisions to extend Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kemba Walker were no brainers, and quite frankly, relieving, the decision to extend Zeller isn’t quite as clear.
While I’d love for Zeller to be back (my twitter name isn’t solely show my love of Matthew McConaughey floating around intergalactic bookshelves after all) I also recognize, that unlike MKG and Walker, Zeller hasn’t quite established a long-term role with the team.
