There’s something different going on with the Charlotte Hornets, something that doesn’t mirror the usual offseason PJ Washington had grown accustomed to in his handful of years here.
“Well, it’s the first time that I’ve seen it, so I think it’s good,” the Hornets’ big man said Monday. “It just shows that everybody is locked in and ready to go. So, everybody is excited for camp and to get the season going.”
Washington was referring to the Hornets’ solid attendance for optional workouts following their return to town from their various summer vacation spots. Rather than waiting until the last week or so to rally the players together, Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward insisted on changing things this year and took matters into their own hands.
