Julian Wright fits the profile of a player who might be able to turn things around even with a doghouse coach like Byron Scott. The other players that hadn't panned out under Scott didn't go to a school like Kansas and have the same caliber of coaching.
The only problem is when the Hornets make the playoffs...we're pretty much all rookies again seeing how Peja has the only legitimate playoff experience. Wright's minutes will probably be reigned in again.

What do you consider 'legitimate' playoff experience? Getting to conference finals? Because a few guys on the team have been to the playoffs. No, they haven't been there as a team but a few of them have indeed been in the playoff position. CP is actually the only starter who hasn't had a taste of the playoffs. West was a rookie the last time the Hornets were in the playoffs. He got a little burn but not much but he did have a 'taste' of it to kind of know what to expect.
