1. Lance Stephenson

Stephenson makes the most sense for the Hornets, as he would add exactly what they were missing last season.

He would be able to bring another scorer to the starting lineup, and his potential is still through the roof. His defense has definitely improved over the last couple of seasons, and his playmaking ability is one of the best in the NBA.

Last year, he led the entire NBA in triple-doubles with five, and had multiple other games that he came close to more. The Hornets would have to give him a fairly nice contract to bring him in, but at just 23 years of age, he has plenty of room to improve and get better.
