    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the Hornets' bench stuck in neutral, sure enough they're seeking aid in Switzerland. On Wednesday the Hornets worked out Swiss forward Oleksiy Pecherov, a touted international prospect who could be available when the team drafts at Nos. 12 and 15.

    "He shot the ball extremely well, put it on the floor pretty good," said Hornets coach Byron Scott, whose bench will likely be revamped this summer.

    "He's 6-7? with a 7-1 wingspan. And he's not a bad defensive player, either. It was good to get a chance to see him. He's been projected anywhere from nine to 30, so I don't think anyone has a real good clue of where he's going to be."</div>
