Chris Copeland started at small forward against the Hornets on Sunday and shot 9-of-15 from the field for 22 points with four rebounds and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes.
He caught our eye for an impressive preseason with 18.0 points per game in his last five preseason contests, but it wasn't enough to give him a significant role even with Amare Stoudemire hurt in the beginning of the season. Marcus Camby is out of the lineup for close to a month and this lineup could stick. Although, we'd like to see it again before suggesting him as a pickup in most formats.
