Full stat line in loss
With a strong start to the year, Diabate seems to have pulled way ahead of Ryan Kalkbrenner for Charlotte's starting job at center. Diabate has come down with at least eight boards in seven of his first eight games, posting at least one steal or block each time out so far.

Scores season-high 11 points
Although James continues to work with the first unit, he's essentially serving as a nominal starter for the Hornets while they wait for Kon Knueppel's (hamstring) season debut. The 11 points were a season-high figure for the second-year forward, who had previously been unable to score more than six points in any of his first seven appearances.

Limited off bench in loss
Schroder moved to the bench, allowing the returning Coby White (calf) to assume his role in the starting lineup. Schroder was limited to just 23 minutes, a number that could continue to decline as White ramps up his playing time. While it has been a solid start to the season for Schroder, he can now be sent packing in most standard leagues.
