After just three days of Training Camp, the Hornets will begin their preseason schedule against the Boston Celtics starting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 in Chapel Hill, NC. Like any exhibition contest, there will be a lot of experimentation and things could get messy from time to time.
Last year’s preseason opener (which was also against Boston) featured starters Kemba Walker, Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams and Dwight Howard all playing between 21-24 minutes. New Head Coach James Borrego will probably be working through a number of different rotations and playing groups to see who works where and the best together.
