A Healthy Chris Paul has the Hornets Flying High

Chris Paul has returned to the superstar play he was at before his string of injuries derailed his last two seasons with the New Orleans Hornets.

Paul has led the Hornets to an undefeated start, and the Los Angeles Lakers are the only other undefeated team.

New Orleans is playing great defense, and Paul is a main part of that. He is among the league leaders in steals, and is playing better one on one defense than he has before.

Chris Paul is a rare talent, a complete point guard who can score, pass, and defend, and he will take the Hornets as far as he can. It is important for New Orleans to keep their play at a high tempo. Paul is deadly on the fast break, and Paul has multiple athletic forwards to pass to on the fast break such as Emeka Okafor and David West.

Chris Paul is back to his elite form, and the New Orleans Hornets appear ready to finally take the next step in their development and become a legitimate western conference competitor.
