After a terrible start, the Charlotte Hornets are now in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, after going 10-4 in the month of January. What’s more impressive is that they’ve found a way to win despite injuries to Al Jefferson and Lance Stephenson, and more recently, Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo. To discuss the Hornets, James and I were joined by Frank Berndt of At The Hive, the SB Nation blog of the Charlotte Hornets (yes, the same one I also write for).
Frank was kind enough to join us last minute, and the three of us talked about many of the current topics surrounding the team, including Kemba’s injury, the development of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Noah Vonleh’s rookie season. We also make a quick prediction of who the Hornets could pursue in free agency this summer.
Below are the estimated time stamps. Enjoy your week everyone!
Estimated Time Stamps:
- Effects of Kemba Walker’s injury, & Gary Neal/Lance Stephenson as the backup PGs – 4:00
- Lance Stephenson’s best role; point guard? – 12:00
- The development of MKG – 15:30
- Which wing players should get minutes in the rotation? – 23:00
- Noah Vonleh’s rookie season, and what to expect of him long-term – 35:00
- James gives Frank and I an advanced stats quiz (spoiler, we fail) – 40:00
- An early look at the 2015 off season – 51:00
