Jeff Peterson's first year as the Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations of the Charlotte Hornets had more twists and turns than your favorite roller coaster at Carowinds.

Completed trades, rescinded trades, coaching hires, maligned draft picks, two-way and 10-day contracts, and countless injuries have all coalesced into a 19-63 record that folks who follow basketball in the Queen City have become all-too-familiar with.

At his end-of-season media availability, Peterson both praised the growth of his coaching staff and players that just completed another disappointing season while firmly stating that 19 wins will not be the standard going forward.
