Nice David Aldrich article about the Hornets

Very flattering about Kemba Walker.

It is a puzzlement, the lack of buzz (see what I did there?) around the Charlotte Hornets this season. They have gotten with the league-wide program and put a team together that embraces 3-pointers and looks for those shots whenever possible. They have a charismatic star in Walker, the requisite flavoring (Nicolas Batum and Jeremy Lin) and they're extremely well-coached and play defense under coach Steve Clifford. So they're in a smaller market ... Lord knows the NBA Twitterverse is in love with the Utah Jazz.

Maybe it's just whatever. The Hornets, hardly a finished product, just keep playing, having overcome the loss of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to a torn labrum, ending his season last month. They're sixth in the Eastern Conference, within striking distance of a top-three finish -- especially if Walker continues his torrid play of late. Since the All-Star break, he's averaging 24.1 points and 6.1 assists while shooting 47.4 percent.

...

It hasn't been as easy getting recognition.

Not only were the Hornets the only current Eastern Conference playoff team not to have an All-Star, Charlotte was one of just two teams -- Memphis being the other -- that didn't have a representative in a single event during NBA All-Star 2016 in Toronto. The Hornets haven't had an All-Star player since 2010 (Gerald Wallace during the Bobcats days).

Kemba Walker is having a great season and is largely ignored.

Hornets are basically doing what the Rockets should be doing with their focus on defense and threes.
