    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With their draft position determined and the chance of getting one of the leading frontcourt players apparently gone, the Hornets will turn their attention to the backcourt in the upcoming NBA draft.

    General manager Allan Bristow said Wednesday the team would bring in the top-three-rated point guards in the draft for workouts next week, along with a couple of high-school prospects and several others.

    The Hornets will work out players next Wednesday and Friday, but the emphasis on point guards doesn't mean the team won't attempt to re-sign free agent Dan Dickau or keep Speedy Claxton.

    "We said all along we want to carry three point guards," Bristow said. "Because we might bring in a rookie point guard, it might take some time (to adjust). So it wouldn't necessarily mean we'd have to do something with either one of those guys."

    Bristow said Wake Forest sophomore Chris Paul, Illinois junior Deron Williams and North Carolina junior Raymond Felton will work out next week, as will high-school senior shooting guards Gerald Green of Gulf Shores (Texas) Academy and Martell Webster of Seattle Prep.

    Additionally, the Hornets will look at North Carolina junior power forward Sean May and Spanish power forward Fran Vazquez, as well as Arizona senior power forward Channing Frye. </div>

    Oops, had a flash back to the Charlotte Hornets. Moved to the appropriate forum.

    Ahhh, how nice would it be for my favorite team to snag Felton and May from my favorite college basketball team.[​IMG]
