Here is my take on the Hornets' summer league in Las Vegas.
Marcus Thornton was the team's leading scorer with 20ppg but only played in 3 games. He doesn't have a guaranteed contract. He did make a strong case to make the team. Or at least, be activated when players get injured.
Darren Collison showed that he might be a viable back up to Chris Paul by averaging 18 points and 4 assits. Antonio Daniels is the current backup. But has 6.6mil contract and isn't really what the team is looking for.
Julian Wright averaged 15points and 4 rebounds. He may get an increased role this year. He played more minutes indicating that the team wants more from him.
The only other signicant perfomance was Anthony Tolliver with 10pts and 6 reb per game. He is not under contract. But, he may get a 10 day contract later in the season.
