Before they can do that, they have important decisions to make this summer. Al Jefferson , Jeremy Lin Marvin Williams Courtney Lee and Nicolas Batum will all be free agents. Batum will command big money, but he fits well in Charlotte. The Hornets should do everything they can to bring back Williams and Batum.

It's time to let Al Jefferson go and give Cody Zeller the starting job. Jefferson is on the decline and Zeller is 23 years old. The young big man led the team in field goal percentage, offensive rating, and win shares per 48 minutes during 2015-16.

Williams became one of the best 3-and-D players in the league at the best time possible, in a contract year. He has tremendous value as a playmaking four, leading the Hornets in 3-point percentage, rebounds and blocks in 2015-16.

The ideal situation for the Hornets is Kidd-Gilchrist coming back healthy from his shoulder surgery better than ever. He's an excellent defender but right now his strength on offense is limited to the paint.

2. Shooting Guard — Nicolas Batum

Before this season it would've been crazy to suggest Batum was a max player but now it's almost a given. He had career highs in scoring and assists, ranking second on the Hornets in the scoring and first in the assists. They must bring him back.

Kemba Walker had the best year of his career. He had career highs statistically and it's only a matter of time before he makes an All-Star game.
