2012-13 SEASON NOTES: New and Improved Aminu: Through four games Hornets F Al-Farouq Aminu has been filling up the stat sheet averaging 12.5 points, 2.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and leading the team in rebounds (9.3) and steals (2.0) per game. Aminu set a career-high in rebounds in the loss against the Philadelphia 76ers on 11/7 with 16 rebounds. Super Sub: Hornets forward Jason Smith has been a model of consistency coming off of the Hornets bench. He is averaging 10.5 points per game on 60.0% FG shooting, which is good for a tie for 12th overall in the NBA. Additionally, he is grabbing 4.3 rebounds per game and blocking 2.0 shots per game in average of just 16 min of action. Swarming Defense: As a team, the Hornets are averaging only 83.5 points per game. However, they are smothering the opposition on the defensive end. The Hornets allow:

Hornets opponents score the 2nd fewest points per game in the league (86.0)

The Hornets allow their opponents the 2nd lowest FG% in the league (.407)

Opponents shoot the 3rd lowest 3 PT FG% in the league (.264) Making the Most of the Opportunity: Through three games with the Hornets, C Robin Lopez is taking full advantage of his starting role and additional minutes compared to his career averages.

Wesley played for the Hornets from 1997-2005, and was part of the first starting lineup in New Orleans Hornets history when the team relocated in 2002. The San Antonio native ranks near the top in a number of Hornets franchise categories:

Minutes Played – 2nd (18,691)

The Hornets began play during the 1988-89 season in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of four expansion franchises granted that season. After fourteen seasons in Charlotte, the Hornets relocated to New Orleans prior to the 2002-2003 season. The franchise had just started unpacking in their new home when Hurricane Katrina forced the Hornets to temporarily relocate to Oklahoma City in 2005 for the next two seasons. The Bees would return to the “Big Easy” for the 2007-08 season and recorded a franchise-best 56 wins en route to the franchise’s first-ever division title.

In the 25 year history of the franchise, the Hornets have compiled a 934-986 (.486) record. The franchise has made 12 playoff appearances and compiled a 35-49 (.417) record in the NBA playoffs.

The Hornets first playoff appearance came in 1993 under head coach Allan Bristow. The Hornets finished 44-38 during the 1992-93 season and advanced to the second round of the playoffs, falling in 5 games to the New York Knicks. That team featured NBA All-Stars Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning as well as the franchise’s all-time leader in assists, Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues.

Regarded as the best season in franchise history, the Hornets returned to New Orleans for the 2007-08 season and recorded a franchise-best 56 wins, won the first-ever division title for the franchise and came one win shy of reaching the Western Conference Finals.

The Hornets have been awarded two number one picks in the NBA Draft during their tenure in the NBA. The first was Larry Johnson in 1991, who won the NBA Rookie of the Year award for the 1991-92 season, went on to become a two-time NBA All-Star and ranks in the top five in nine different statistical categories in Hornets franchise history. The second was current Hornet Anthony Davis.
