"In Golden State, Jason was used to a lot of catch-and-shoot, high-tempo, lots of speed," Charlotte coach Sam Vincent says. "Here we're running more sets."

In his first month with the Bobcats, Richardson averaged 16.9 points. But since Jan. 1, he's averaged 22.1 points.

"It was tough at first," Richardson says. "All I wanted to do was get up and down the court and run, run, run. Some of the guys on the team were like, 'Man, don't you ever get tired?' I was like, 'I'm still in shape from being in Golden State.'

If by "sets" Vincent actually means "no organization, 99% iso, hit and hope stuff" I can see it.

This sort of implies we are not a fit team IMO. Our cardo must suck - which suprises me considering the draft tryouts we run. It also explains why Swish often starts and runs the break and noone runs with him.
