The Charlotte Hornets are off to a surprisingly great start this season in a way that many of us weren't expecting. The slow grind it out style that relied on post ups and kick outs has been replaced with a style featuring a heavy dose of 3-pointers and screens. The much welcome change has not only made the Hornets more aesthetically pleasing, but it's led to a team that currently sits fifth in a tightly contested Eastern conference. Charlotte's playing great basketball at the moment, and it's hard to see them not finishing somewhere between the upper or middle areas of the conference come playoff time.
