Ryan Kalkbrenner has been named as the starting center for the Charlotte Hornets in their season opener against the Nets, alongside LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, and Miles Bridges. Despite preseason uncertainties, Kalkbrenner has secured the spot over Moussa Diabaté, making him a viable late-round pick in fantasy drafts. With Kalkbrenner and Diabaté expected to share the majority of the minutes, fantasy managers may want to reconsider Mason Plumlee as a viable option.
