NBA 2K16: 10 Teams Who Should Receive A Stat Boost

7. Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets have implemented something of a risky strategy in the offseason, signing a pair of players who could prove to be fantastic acquisitions or total flops. Jeremy Lin sparked 'Linsanity' by leading the New York Knicks to a mid-season resurgence in 2012, despite a distinct lack of experience. However, subsequent trades to the Houston rockets and LA Lakers have seen him fail to shine since. Number 9 draft pick Frank Kaminsky was dominant at college level for the Wisconsin Badgers, and was even named the National College Player of the Year, but has been forced to deal with questions over his physicality in a league of superior athletes. Despite these real-world uncertainties, he and Lin will surely boost the Hornets' lowly rating in NBA 2K16 on the back of name value alone. A signing with decidedly more substance is Nicolas Batum. The French small forward is one of the most inescapable shot blockers in the league, and will give New Orleans some much-needed defensive grit.
