With the Hornets looking for a new coach, and the constantly pending sale seemingly no closer to fruition than it was three weeks ago, it's no surprise that fans haven't been thinking too hard about what to do with a front court that looked overwhelmed last season. The combination of Emeka Okafor and David West contributed greatly to an interior defense that allowed opponents to make 64.9 percent of their shots at the rim, third worst in the league, and 47.2 of other shots within 10 feet, sixth worst in the league.
Now sure, one can argue that this is the duo's first season together and that they are sure to improve next year. The problem remains though that they are remarkably bad at defending the pick and roll together. So bad in fact that Bower rarely allowed them to play together late in the game.
