The New Orleans Hornets sat at a pretty 4th pick in the first round of the T-NBA Draft. They opted to acquire the franchise man Chris Paul along with others in later rounds. Throughout the draft there was quite a bit of swapping of picks that the Hornets did not join into until early 9th round. The Hornets swapped picks in the 9th round to "Spread out the picks." Hornets coach Peter Seymore traded the 9th round pick to the New York Knickerbockers. As we spoke with coach Seymore he said "We really weren't looking for a real high pick that round and we wanted to see what we could acquire later in the round."
Game #1
Hornets suffered a devastating home loss to the Washington Wizards. Opening the game with a sizable lead; then watching the Wizards come back on a tear. "We had solid numbers across the board from both my starters and the players that came off our bench," Coach Peter said, "Our free-throws were top notch, but our turnovers were enough to lose any team a game. I am honestly surprised we stayed so close with the amount of times we turned the ball over. If we can deplete our turnovers I have great faith we could make a run in this league."
