It came as no surprise that the Charlotte Hornets struggled on offense in a game where they were missing Kemba Walker. Walker is 13th in the league in usage rate and has displayed efficient play in his huge role by posting a true shooting percentage of 57.9, good for the eight place among the 20 most used NBA players.
The Hornets team had to fill those possessions against Boston with a roster that doesn’t have many other options. Nicolas Batum can facilitate for teammates but doesn’t get much more than semi-contested jumpers for himself.
