Why the Hornets will play power forward by committee for at least the next week

Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego hasn’t named a starter to replace injured Marvin Williams, and the way Borrego describes the situation, who starts at power forward might not be of great consequence.

Borrego said following practice Tuesday that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Miles Bridges took turns with the starters preparing for Wednesday’s road game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Borrego also said Frank Kaminsky might play some power forward in Williams’ absence.

Bottom line: There is no obvious best candidate to replace Williams, who will miss at least a week while recovering from a right shoulder strain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
