The Hornets are a veteran team with an eye on getting back to the playoffs again in 2011-12, so they don’t have much P.T. for their rookies quite yet.  27-year old point guard Carldell Johnson has played the most of the Hornets’ rookies so far this year.  Johnson has played in 7 games (0 starts) for the Hornets so far this year and he is averaging 7.1 minutes, 2.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.  26-year old center Gustavo Ayon has played in 4 games (0 starts) for the Hornets so far this year and he is averaging 4.8 minutes, 1.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.3 assists per game.  23-year old forward Lance Thomas has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Hornets so far this year and he is averaging 2.0 minutes and 0.5 points per game.
