  • Aminu heads to the market: Hornets forward Al-Farouq Aminu so thoroughly disappointed through the first three years of his rookie contract, the team opted not to pick up his option for next season. That leaves him as an unrestricted free agent this offseason, coming off his most successful season to date. Aminu transformed himself into an elite rebounder from the small forward position, bringing in 7.7 points per game to go with 7.3 points per game. Both of those numbers represented the best marks of his career, along with a career-high 27.2 minutes per game.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Aminu's offensive game remains painfully limited, as he is too poor of a shooter to stretch the floor and too small to play power forward consistently. His rebounding ability made him useful for stretches in some Fantasy formats last season, but his anemic offensive game is still holding him back. Aminu will be just 23 years old when the season begins, so some team will take a flier on his upside. He is still most likely going to be more of a late-round Fantasy option in deeper formats, on Draft Day.
