Tyson Chandler was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bulls.  Chandler will bring defense and rebounding to the center position for the Hornets.  Chandler has averaged 7.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game over his career.

Hilton Armstrong, one of the Hornets first round picks this season, is a shot-blocking defensive player that needs work on offense.  His energy will help the team off of the bench.
