Unless you’re point guard Kemba Walker, assume nothing about your playing time headed into Charlotte Hornets training camp next week.
General manager Mitch Kupchak’s words weren’t quite that blunt in a one-on-one interview with the Charlotte Observer Friday, but that was his message: With a whole new basketball operation, including coach James Borrego, what happened before has little bearing on rotations and minutes this season.
“We’ve got one All-Star, and a whole lot of players who are going to have to find their way or separate themselves in training camp,” Kupchak said, with training camp opening Tuesday in Chapel Hill.
