During practices and games, injured Hornets point guard Chris Paul has been in rookie Darren Collison’s ear, giving him pointers on the finer things about playing the position in the NBA.
Collison said since he took over the starting role for Paul five games ago, several veteran teammates have offered guidance, but he said the most beneficial has come from Paul, who remains sidelined indefinitely with a sprained left ankle.
During shootarounds, Paul has sat next to Collison when the team breaks into position groups and has gone over details about the opposing point guard as an assistant coach would. He’s also chimed in on how to get around pick-and-rolls.
