NEW ORLEANS - The Hornets hardly resemble the team Monty Williams took over as a rookie head coach three seasons ago, from the ownership down to an overhauled roster featuring the top overall pick in last summer's NBA draft.

It remains to be seen whether a lineup led by rookie Anthony Davis and injury-riddled guard Eric Gordon can contend for the playoffs this season.

Still, a franchise that arguably led the league in uncertainty a year ago now has a locally rooted owner with deep pockets and a roster with young players like Austin Rivers and Ryan Anderson in the midst of multi-year deals. That gives them stability and a chance to grow into winners together.

New Orleans opens its regular season at home on Oct. 31 against the San Antonio Spurs.
