Lastly, the Hornets need some shooting out there. They need players who can hit the 3 well enough for defenses not to cheat and double team Al Jefferson. With a knockdown shooter roaming the perimeter, the team’s offense would have a whole other dimension, and opponents’ game planning would be significantly more difficult.

It looks like the front office recognized this, and already decided address the issue. By taking Noah Vonleh and P.J. Hairston in last week’s draft, the club added two players who are able to hit the deep ball consistently, which should really up Charlotte’s firepower next year.

Watch out, Eastern Conference teams; the Hornets are rising the rankings quickly, and your club could be the next to get stung.
