He set a franchise record by scoring a career-high 44 points against Boston on Nov. 22 and set another franchise mark by playing 55 minutes in a double-overtime win at Denver on March 26. He scored 30 points or more in three consecutive games for the first time in his career on Nov. 11-14 and set career highs in free throws made (427) and attempted (564). He grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds against Cleveland on Jan. 29 and ranks as the Hornets' all-time leading rebounder and second all-time scorer behind Dell Curry. Following the season he was traded to New York for Anthony Mason and Brad Lohaus.
