...blame the players for any of these problems. Power forward David West stepped up his scoring, and made his first All-Star team. Center Tyson Chandler, long lambasted for being seven feet of soft, has emerged as one of the best rebounders in the NBA. Sharpshooting Serbian Peja Stojakovic is back from injuries and draining three-pointers every night. However, the Hornets wouldn't sting a thing without Paul. In just his third year in the NBA, Paul is averaging a career-high 20.5 points and 10.8 assists per game, while hitting a career best 48% of his shots from...
