That's a huge over reaction.
Hell Caleb Martin had a huge game the other night against us. To put it another way, I don't think Charlotte is missing him...
With Butler, Bam and Captain Amazing Caleb Martin out someone has to take shots. And they still lost by 11.
He's only scoring 7 points a night so I don't want to go too crazy here but he's doing more than just standing in a corner or be under the basket for an offensive rebound. Seems like there's way more variety in his game this year. Was a bit of a shock watching him drop the left shoulder into our guys and flip in some hook shots.
Yeah, he looked good against the Bucks and seems in shape. That said, you cant always judge a decision by the result. There were a ton of unknown variables - will PJ come back in shape, would he accept his role off the bench/DNPs in some match-ups, will his body hold up, etc. Personally I think this is resulting instead of looking at the process of not resigning aging role players with limited offensive ability. You definitely could argue the process was wrong in letting go a starter on a championship team. Don't blame Horst for not foreseeing PJ adding offensive game at 36 (albeit in a double digit loss).
