Davis ready to lead Hornets

Sep 30, 2001 5:57 AM EST

He didn't play much in his first season then he emerged last, now Baron Davis is ready to take his career to the next level. He is hungry to improve on his past accomplishments, including taking his team to Game 7 of the second round series between his Hornets and the Milwaukee Bucks. At only 22 years of age he is certain to be a leader in Charlotte, receiving help from veterans Jamal Mashburn, David Wesley and PJ Brown. "It’s going to be more of a learning approach since this is my first time coming in as a starter," Davis said referring to training camp. "I’m just going to continue to work hard and continue to lead. I’m going to have the attitude that I can outwork anyone in training camp and I want to try and help the team to gel faster. Really, the main goal is for myself and the rest of the guys to build upon what we did last year."
