Charlotte Hornets Head Coach James Borrego adamantly stated during training camp that he wanted his offense to focus more on shots at the rim and from three-point range this season. Two-and-a-half weeks of practice and five exhibition games later, significant, quantifiable progress has certainly been made on both fronts.
“We’re hitting our goal,” said Borrego on Thursday morning. “I think ultimately, our guys are trusting us. They’ve bought into this system and we believe we’re only going to get better at it. I think we have an identity now and I think guys understand it. There’s no gray area.
