Veteran SG/SF James Posey’s outside shot is off so far this season and it has been one of his main assets in his career to this point. He is only shooting 35.8% from the floor and 35.2% from three point range and that is just not good enough. Posey has now played in 31 games (2 starts) for the Hornets this season and he is averaging 22.4 minutes, 5.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Posey needs to start playing better or the Hornets are going to start cutting his minutes.

Devin Brown has played in 24 games (22 starts) for the Hornets this season and he is averaging 23.4 minutes, 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Brown is only shooting 39.8% from the floor but 41.1% from three point range. Still, the Hornets need more out of Brown if he is to continue to start. I would think that if he doesn’t step up soon the Hornets could turn to Darren Collison or Marcus Thornton as shooting guard.

Julian Wright began this season as the starting small forward but he has been bumped to the bench by Peja Stojakovic. Wright has played in 16 games (7 starts) for the Hornets this season and he is averaging 13.7 minutes, 3.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. The Hornets have nailed his behind to the bench as some players have passed him up in the playing rotation. Wright still has a nice upside so I hope they don’t let him waste on the bench.

The Hornets rolled to a 90-62 lead after three quarters before cruising in the 4th quarter to a easy win last night. The Hornets shot a scorching 60.3% from the floor in this game! David West led the way for the Hornets with 28 points and 7 rebounds. Peja Stojakovic had a decent game with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Chris Paul did a good job of directing the offense with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists. The Hornets improved to 27-12 on the season with this win.

Jannero Pargo played really well for the Hornets last season but this season has been a different story. Pargo has played in 20 games so far this season and he is averaging 16.1 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 2.3 assists per game. He also has shot really poorly as he’s only hitting 37.1% from the floor this season. If Pargo doesn’t shoot better soon he will start to lose minutes for the Hornets.
