I'm not a fan of his just because he went to lsu. He improved so much after only one year with Trent Johnson that I see him improving a lot more with 100% focus on basketball. I also think he fits perfectly with the hornets who need better perimeter shooting and hustle players.

I see Butler fading back again right alongside Mo Pete.

Byron Scott has already said he is seriously looking at starting Julian wright over Peja, so my starting 5 by the end of the season will be(assuming no trades are made soon):

Chris Paul
Julian Wright
Marcus Thornton
David West
Tyson Chandler

Key Bench Players:

Peja
Collison
Posey
Butler
Hilton

Not bad IMO. If healthy we could have a very good year.

Come on man. You're only saying this because he's an LSU player.

Said this morning that neither Collison or Thornton play good enough defense, doubt they see the floor more than 10 minutes a game

you dont know much about basketball

marcus thorton is 6'2 at the most... nowhere near big enough to be a 2 guard in the NBA

what offensive potential does julian wright have? the only quotes ive seen about him are that he has a terrible shot selection.

Chris Paul - 5'11

Tyson Chandler - 7'0


this would easily be the smallest starting 5 in the League and would get destroyed on the boards

I like it, Butler and Peja would be better coming off the bench.
