Last season, the Charlotte Hornets were underrated when it came to outside shooting. Despite having two starting players who have a career 14.5 percent from downtown (Howard and Kidd-Gilchrist), the team still managed to have a very efficient season from that side of the court. They finished 21st in the league in 3-point attempts, (2,223) but finished with the 8th highest percentage (37 percent).
As new Hornets head coach James Borrego has emphasized a lot of schematical changes in his offseason interviews, he has hinted at a new philosophy for the team’s offense. A quicker and more upbeat tempo approach that will heavily involve the three has been the headline of these changes.
