Jefferson fortified a strong interior defense, pulling down 10.8 rebounds per game, eighth in the League and his best total in five years. He also swatted away 1.1 shots per game, which tied for 28th with his backup, third-year pro Bismack Biyombo. Biyombo adapted to making the fewest starts of his career and became a valuable piece off the bench, as he chipped in 4.8 rpg. The Hornets looked to improve the power forward position by bringing in a pair of nineyear pros, former Tar Heel Marvin Williams, who is expected to start, and Jason Maxiell. Both are there as much to mentor up-andcomers (an coincidentally former Indiana Hoosiers) Cody Zeller and Noah Vonleh. The 7-0 Zeller, last year’s No. 4 overall pick grabbed 4.3 rebounds, sixth best among NBA rookies, on his way to Second-Team All-Rookie status in and came on strong, averaging 4.9 rebounds per game over the team’s final 27 games, up almost one board from the first part of the season. The 6-10 Vonleh, Charlotte’s 2014 first-round Draft pick (No. 9), was Big Ten Freshman of the Year last year after leading the conference in rebounding and finishing top 10 in blocked shots. Vonleh was slowed during preseason and will miss the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. Charlotte needs to get better is in defending the three, as opponents shot a healthy .369 from behind the arc and Clifford would probably like to see more turnovers, as the Bobcats forced the third-fewest and committed the second-fewest steals. Offense The Bobcats followed the axiom that the best offense is a good defense, as their offense was middle-of-the-pack last season. That certainly wasn’t due to the lack of an inside presence, as Jefferson was a force in the paint. But that may change in 2014- 15. He led the team in scoring 41 times, recorded 69 double-figure games, had 42 double-doubles and had all 29 of the team’s 20-point/10-rebound games. The outside complement to Jefferson’s inside power is guard Walker. Walker, who had 60 double-figure games, all five of the team’s 20-point/10-assist games, matched his 17.7 ppg average of his sophomore season. He improved shooting the three, hitting a career-best, and team-leading 109 three-point
