Off season workouts. 

Post#1 » by Liver_Pooty » Wed Jun 4, 2014 1:00 am

I thought I would make this thread so any tweets, videos, anything about our current players working on their game in the off season could go here.

There are videos on Hornets.com of Zeller, Biyombo, and Taylor working out today.

Zeller and Biyombo have been putting in a ton of work already. I guess Kemba is still up in NYC. Hopefully hes working out as well.

Kemba was in Charlotte working out before them. Clifford said in one of those vids that Kemba was there and the first player on the team to initiate practicing in the facilities during the offseason.

biz putting in some work on his mid-range jumper. his form looks pretty good. he has the chance to be a decent mid-range shooter at some point in his career. he'll definitely be putting in the work. its probably his best chance at being a relevant player on the offensive end because i dont even think he'll be effective in the post for more than put backs and a crude hook.

I wanted to see him working on some post moves, but you're right.

How sweet would it be to be the guys rebounding the ball for our players whenever they want to shoot on demand as our job. Although they are probably spoiled rich interns who don't get paid.
