In a perfect world, Marvin Williams comes off the bench to provide the Charlotte Hornets with above average 3-point shooting and solid defense.
The world is far from perfect, however.
The reality is that Marvin Williams remains the Hornets starting power forward more off of circumstance than off talent. Don’t get me wrong, Marv is a talented player, but he’s at a point in his career where he could be most effective as a team’s 7th man.
The Hornets, of course, do not have a better option. The team’s current back-up four man is Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who, after Monday’s game against the Bulls, has a total of four preseason games played at power forward in his six years in the league.
