Hornets' Plan Still Includes West

Darnell Mayberry of THE OKLAHOMAN writes, "He was the Hornets' leading scorer and rebounder last season. Their most clutch and consistent player, too. Suddenly, though, David West seems lost in the shuffle of the team's new and improved roster ... Those calling the shots, however, say West is far from a forgotten man." "There it is, a goose egg where 22 points sat in the WNBA Finals opener," writes Melody Gutierrez of THE SACRAMENTO BEE. "Kara Lawson knows she can't lead the Monarchs every game, especially when she's being relentlessly guarded. So, she's trying to make the best of it, drawing out defenders and allowing Sacramento to dominate in the paint."
