Clifford said Kemba Walker is "not all the way back yet" and may be limited in contact as training camp gets underway tomorrow.

Clifford wants to see the Hornets score more points in the paint. They were near the bottom of the league last year in that category.

Clifford says it's not fair to expect more from Nic Batum this season as a result of the big contract.

Clifford joked to MKG: "You can talk back to the coach when you play double digits games."

Clifford said MKG is in great shape and he's a "killer worker" but no plans to limit his play. He's full go and ready to go for camp.

Clifford has to determine who fits better at center with the other four -- Hibbert or Zeller.


seems like the starter between Cody and Roy will come down to who fits better with the other 4 starters vs bench. Sounds like either way Cody's minutes will be there.

When Marvin is done playing I hope he takes these WFNZ guys' jobs.

Cody Zeller said it's no big deal whether he starts or comes off the bench.

I wish the team was having an out-of-city training camp this year. I think it would do a lot of good for the players to get out of the city for the next two weeks. There's too many distractions going on in Charlotte currently, especially Uptown.

Nic Batum said Hornets came to him to ask his thoughts on trading for Marco Belinelli. Batum's response: "Get him now!"

Frank and Cody both added noticeable weight, Cody especially. Looks like he may have finally got his nose fixed too.

Heh, I even said that in the comments below the tweet.

I kinda missed it, but on the radio interview Cody did say something about being able to smell better
