2013 New Orleans Hornets Season Preview

When the season tips off for the 2013 New Orleans Hornets they will be the youngest team in the NBA.  That of course could be good or bad news for the Hornets.  We will just have to see how they handle themselves.  Two key players that they drafted are Austin Rivers and Anthony Davis.  The hype for both of these players is very high.  Here is the way that the Hornets will tip off the season:

  PG. Austin Rivers

  SG. Eric Gordon

   SF. Al-Farouq Aminu

  PF.  Anthony Davis

  C. Robin Lopez

The Hornets are probably another year or two way from being big time threats in the Western Conference.  That is why Sports Illustrated has the Hornets finishing 12 in the Western Conference.  With that being said the Hornets will be a really good team in a couple of years with the youth that they have right now.  If the Hornets want to make any kind of push for the playoffs, the young guns that they have will have to be able to stay healthy and on the court at the same time.  If they are unable to stay healthy together they will struggle a lot because they have very little depth on the bench.
