Aminu heads to the market

CBSSports.com Fantasy — 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.
