Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego talks about the type of players he would like to add to the roster during the next offseason.
“Rim protection is something we’re looking for. To be a top-level defense in today’s league, you need to have some length and athleticism out there. I do think we’re getting longer on the perimeter, and have some more size and athleticism. We’re looking for another playmaker, a guy that can create for himself and create for others. I think the third piece is just shooting. In our system, we can never have enough shooting. That makes the game easier for everybody when you can space the floor and allow the athletic wings and bigs to attack the rim.”
Before the suspension the Hornets were tenths in the Eastern Conference standings with 23 wins over 65 games.
Borrego thinks that the team was playing his best basketball in the 8 games before the suspension.
“I’ve really studied these last eight games,” Borrego explained. “I think that’s where we saw a lot of growth and development. When we get back, we need to hit the ground running. We need to get back to playing that type of basketball. We were defending, we were moving the ball, we were athletic, we were attacking the rim. We cleaned up the turnover game a lot. I think we really held our own. The future is extremely bright with these guys. I think the more I watch those eight games, the more excited I get about our team and the leap they made throughout the season
