This was Kidd-Gilchrist's seventh straight season in Charlotte, and, politely speaking, it was his worst ever.

He missed six games back in November because of an ankle injury. Unlike last season (when he started in all 74 games), he came off the bench for the Hornets this season, receiving over 18 minutes of active court-time per game. Kidd-Gilchrist managed to score just 6.7 points (lowest of his career) and pull down less than 4 rebounds per game.

This decrease in productivity can be attributed to a noticeable decline in playing time but the fact he's been averaging single digits in scoring for three years now says it all. With similar lackluster numbers on the defensive end, Kidd-Gilchrist did not help the Hornets' cause throughout the year.

Kidd-Gilchrist did miss some time in March having entered the concussion protocol which came as a result of him bumping heads with a Sixers player.
