An Injury is Good?

The starting point guard for the New Orleans Hornets, Chris Paul, is injured. He tore ligaments in his knee and had to have surgery. He is considered the team’s best player and he thinks it may be a blessing that he is sitting out. According to Chris Paul sitting out is allowing his teammates to gain confidence. This is very true it allows for other players to be the main option. They are able to do their own thing and believe in their own abilities a little more. The down side to this is they lose chemistry between themselves. When Chris Paul comes back they will not have played together for a month or two. This is an issue because they will have to remember how to play with each other and integrate the play of the new confident players. If the Hornets and Chris Paul are able to gel the new and old style of play then something good could result for the Hornets. This is what Chris Paul is thinking will happen but only time will tell if that is the result of his injury.
