The New Orleans Hornets don’t have a clear cut starter at shooting guard

For now it appears as though Morris Peterson will be the starting shooting guard by default. The Hornets traded Rasual Butler to the Clippers recently in a move that didn’t make any sense opening up a hole in the starting lineup. The 32-year old Peterson played in 43 games for...
