What is the best possible scenario for the Charlotte Hornets given where they are right now? They have exactly one noteworthy player (Kemba Walker), and a couple of decent role players — but where does it go from there? I don’t want to belabour this point, but it definitely feels like the Hornets may be the least interesting team in the whole NBA. This feels crazy to say, given they’re owned by Michael Jordan. But prove me wrong.
The Raptors, of course, are far and away from being boring. All season they’ve thrilled and entertained, and given us enough narrative weight (on and off the court) to carry us easily through the season.
