|
| |  | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: LANCE STEPHENSON started chucking and padding stats after missing the All-Star team last season, fueling Indiana's collapse. He's a potentially solid role player, but if he tries to be the alpha for the Hornets, it could be a long season . . . KEMBA WALKER has become a solid playmaker, though he'll lose some touches while playing alongside Stephenson . . . The Hornets seem to be done with GERALD HENDERSON, who will stay in the rotation, but see a reduced role with all the Hornets' offseason acquisitions . . . GARY NEAL can play both guard spots as a high-scoring sixth man . . . P.J. HAIRSTON needs to stay out of trouble off the court if he's to have any chance of becoming a three-point specialist off the bench . . . BRIAN ROBERTS steps in as a No. 3 point guard. FORWARDS: Charlotte reloaded in the frontcourt, but MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST will likely claim a starting job due to his defense. It's probably time to accept that MKG will never have much of an offensive game . . . CODY ZELLER will have every opportunity to grab a starting job early on. Unfortunately, his inability to score in traffic limits his effectiveness . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS will see major minutes at both forward spots. He's a capable defender who has added a three-point shot to his repertoire . . . He's still a teenager, so he may not carve out major minutes this year, but NOAH VONLEH has by far the most upside among their 4's and 5's. He's a potentially elite stretch-4 . . . JEFF TAYLOR's Achilles is close to 100 percent. He has a shot to re-claim a rotation spot. CENTERS: AL JEFFERSON is a flawed player, but he gives Charlotte exactly what the team is looking for: A low-post threat on the offensive end of the court. Like Walker, he'll also suffer a bit with Stephenson coming in, but he's still the focal point of this offense . . . He's not quite a bust because he can defend, but BISMACK BIYOMBO hasn't shown any semblance of an offensive game. | | ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation. |

*Hornets-Hawks Preview* =======================
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor
Charlotte (4-12) at Atlanta (7-6), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Things appeared to be looking up for the Charlotte Hornets following a victory over the Atlanta Hawks three weeks ago.
However, very little has gone right since.
The Hornets look to avoid a ninth straight loss Saturday night when they visit a Hawks team trying to build on an encouraging win.
Two nights after ending a 20-game losing streak to Miami, Charlotte (4-13) rallied from 10 down to beat Atlanta 122-119 in double overtime Nov. 7.
Lance Stephenson hit a 33-foot jumper off the glass at the buzzer for the winner and Al Jefferson scored a season-high 34 for the Hornets, who won their second in a row against the Hawks after losing the previous 11.
Jefferson has routinely frustrated Atlanta, averaging 25.3 points and 14.8 rebounds in his last four meetings. After beating the Hawks to pull Charlotte's record back to .500, the veteran center suggested the back-to-back wins over a pair of playoff teams from last season had the club headed in the right direction.
The Hornets, though, have one win in 11 games since, and have been outscored by an average of 11.8 points during an eight-game skid. They had a chance to end their slide Friday against surging Golden State, but ultimately coughed up a 10-point lead in the final 14 minutes of a 106-101 loss.
Charlotte shot 28.6 percent in the fourth quarter as Stephenson and Jefferson combined for five points. The Hornets had 80 points on 50.8 percent shooting after three quarters.
Despite the cold shooting down the stretch, coach Steve Clifford pinned the loss on Charlotte's rebounding woes. The Hornets were outrebounded 16-8 on the offensive glass and have been outworked on the boards in seven of their last eight games.
"It never matters how well you play if you're going to get tattooed on the glass," Clifford said.
The Hornets had a 51-38 edge on the boards in the first meeting with the Hawks, who are 28th in rebounding differential at minus-3.4 per game.
Atlanta (8-6) was outrebounded for the fifth time in six games Friday against New Orleans, but put together one of its best defensive halves of the season to pull out a 100-91 win. After allowing an average of 110.2 points in splitting their previous six games, the Hawks limited the Pelicans to 28 on 29.7 percent shooting in the first half.
"We just came out aggressive on both ends," Jeff Teague said of the Hawks, who led by 13 at the break. "The team did a really good job of playing good team defense. We just helped one another."
Teague continued his hot stretch with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting. He is averaging 25.8 points on 53.8 percent shooting in his last five games after averaging 11.0 points on 40.0 percent in his previous four. He went 9 of 23 for 22 points against the Hornets and added a season-high 15 assists.
Charlotte's Marvin Williams missed his first game of the season Friday with a strained shoulder and will not  Atlanta.
