Hornets coach Monty Williams expects more out of Emeka Okafor this season.

Williams observed Okafor from afar last season and felt that he didn't adapt to New Orleans right off the bat.

"For most guys, when you are traded to a team that was successful, it's hard to fit in right away," Williams said.

"The dynamic of fitting in, it's not always right there and it's probably not fair to Emeka to just expect him to come in and fit in right away. Emeka will have to find ways to be efficient. I think we have done some things ?- added some shooters -- who will make things easier on Emeka. Now that he is adjusted, I think he is going to have a very good year."
