These two teams just played, and not a lot has changed. The big difference is that rookie first overall pick AJ Dybantsa has since made his debut. He had a pretty solid first outing scoring the ball. He essentially replaces Justin Champagnie, who is out but was a lunch pail kinda guy. We’ll see what the trade off looks like.
This is an NBA Cup game, which means a bright court (red I think) and a little extra juice. Hopefully the Hornets win, am I right?
