James Borrego emphasized a faster style of play and player development in his introductory press conference as new head coach of the Charlotte Hornets.
“You should see an exciting brand of basketball,” said Borrego. “One that fits today’s NBA style and gives us the best chance to win moving forward.”
What does that mean, exactly? Playing at a faster pace, being efficient in transition, moving the ball more in the halfcourt, and shooting a higher volume of 3-pointers. However, Borrego stressed that defending well is key to playing how they want on the offensive end.
