I think all acknowledge that Junior needs a lot more training, development and time to realize his fullest potential, whatever that may be. With our additions, he can back down the pressure to produce, use practice and the occasional sessions with coaching to refine his weak spots. Agree Mann could and should continue to improve while already showcasing better skills. NSJ and the other former contributors will have to work hard to keep their jobs, as they should.
I'd dump Cody Martin (who sucks) before burying a sniper like Nick Smith Jr. through his rookie contract.
Mann looks like he's not going anywhere in restricted free agency following next season. He looks like a keeper, critical longterm core piece as one of the game's most formidable PG2.
LaMelo - Micic - Mann is so tough as a PG rotation.
Make the right pick (Nikola Topic) and we're set up for a whopping consolidation move. We will never bleed talent like OKC, but we didn't have Durant, Russell, Paul George as a starting point either.
The Hornets did a commendable job mining PG2 talent in the Hayward trade, turning a sidelined video game addict Bible Thumper Pillsbury Dough Boy into 2 players who could contribute in a playoff level rotation, plus 2 second round picks sprinkled over the deal as sweeteners? Added to the mix when the dessert already came with a cherry on top?
Delectable.
Doesn't feel like there's much separation other than age between Micic and Giddey or maybe I'm high? Mann looks like he will one day win a starting spot somewhere.
Hayward's career is ending.
Zero overreaction here from 1 game lol, keep up the great work.
