The Charlotte Hornets find themselves at a fascinating crossroads with multiple starting centers. Following a trade that sent Mark Williams to the Los Angeles Lakers, the deal fell through due to a failed physical. This left the Hornets with a center rotation that includes Jusuf Nurkic, Moussa Diabate, and Taj Gibson.

Despite his potential, Williams, 23, has faced injury issues, having played only 39% of games since entering the league. On the other hand, Nurkic, while more durable at 30, may not align with the team's future vision. The Hornets are left contemplating whether Williams can be their long-term solution, or if Nurkic might offer better trade value if he performs well.
