2. Spencer Hawes

PROS:
The acquisition from the LA Clippers offers more knowns than Kaminsky, but also has a lower ceiling.
Has known three point range ability, and therefore can play with Big Al.
Most experienced big man the Hornets can put on the floor.
Also a true seven footer for more defensive presence.
Could be a stop gap measure if Kaminsky is not quite ready for primetime

CONS:
Speed and athleticism in question
Injury issues in his career
