OKLAHOMA CITY -- Chris Paul spent his summer jetsetting all
over the country and halfway around the world. Now, his journey
from NBA unknown to budding star has taken the New Orleans Hornets
to the top of the Western Conference standings.

Paul's offseason took him from the Big Apple to Tinseltown, from
El Paso to Japan, and only briefly back home. Along the way, the
reigning rookie of the year reunited with LeBron James and Carmelo
Anthony, teamed up with Dwyane Wade and attracted the first
sponsorship deals of his young career.

One theory was that the 21-year-old point guard would be too
worn out from a summer of globe-trotting to lead the Hornets to the
playoff berth that eluded them last season. However, that's hardly
the case so far. He averaged 17.5 points and 10.8 assists to push
New Orleans to its first 4-0 start in franchise history, and then
had a career-high 34 points in the team's first loss -- 121-116 at
Golden State on Thursday night.

The Hornets were the last remaining undefeated team in the NBA.

I like how we managed to get him at the 4th pick.
He really made the team improve from nothing to a solid top(?) team.

The Hornets got really lucky.Portland made the brilliant decision to stick with Telfair(Then,but not after last season).Any team in the league could have moved up to the third pick without paying too much and when Utah did they thought Deron Williams was a better fit.Only reason Paul wasn't the first overall pick was that people thought he was too small though.Right now it looks as though he's probably one of the top ten players in the league.

And don't forget Atlanta, thinking yet another foward would do it, when they had no PGs whatsoever.
