All-Time Hornets 

Post#1 » by BillyHoyle » Wed Aug 6, 2008 5:04 pm

if you could select an All-Time Hornets startng 5, (don't focus only on numbers but on "team-chemistry" as well), how would it look like?

I'm not sure really. Right now I'm thinking...

Chris Paul, Dell Curry, Larry Johnson, Glen Rice, Alonzo Mourning.

I was thinking about putting David West in instead of Rice because of rebounding numbers but I remembered you said forget about numbers. West has great chemistry with Paul and I'm not sure if Rice would have that same chemistry with CP. He might, he might not. I'll still leave him in that spot for the moment.

Move Rice to SF and Johnson to the 4, then you have Rice as an uber Peja

in his best Hornet year he scored 26.8 on 47.7% from the field, and 47% from downtown :o

I think that was the year the 3 pt line was moved in, but he was still a 40% high volume 3 pt shooter for his career.

Zo and CP3 are easy choices, and I really like Grand mama's athleticism.

Can we go with Kobe at the 2? :D

Only if the Hornets held on to Kobe for more than 5 minutes.
