Plumlee is fine in a 12 minute a game role to move the ball and get rebounds. Pretty strong too.
If Diabate and Kalk can handle 10-16 minutes each all 3 guys should play some.

If you look hard at the number from last year Plumlee is slightly better than Moussa. They pretty much rebound at the same rate,and get blocks and steals at the same rate. Plumlee is slightly more efficient and a much better passer.

A Plumlee/Moussa/Kalk rotation problaby makes the most sense to start the season and then injury and play can dictate minutes and who starts.

Scoot Henderson going down is making us seem genius for signing up all the pgs lol. If somebody wants to trade for Sexton or Dimwiddie I am going to need a first and a prospect, lol. How amazing would it be to trade for Nurk for Sexton and a 2nd and then turn around and trade Sexton for a first.

I take any and all pre-camp “observations” with a truckload of salt. I hope for a lot of things. A photo is shown of Melo seated and people claim he looks like he’s added a lot of muscle. Cause his arms look like there is some curve at the bicep? Now somebody is saying he’s matured.

OK…I certainly HOPE so on all this. But let’s see how this really plays out from camp into the regular season. Remember when Rozier very publicly organized a bunch of the players to workout together ahead of camp? Man that got me excited for a much better season! How far did it take them?

I’m gonna see what plays out, and how these guys actually produce.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Before the season starts let me make this clear.

If we aren't competitive for a playoff spot this year I think we need to seriously consider blowing up this core and starting fresh. Melo/Bridges specifically. If these guys can't lead this group then they never will. These are the alphas and they must get serious about winning.

Hopefully they prove us right. :nod:

What do you mean "these are the alphas"?

The main core players. The foundation started with them. Miles in his prime years, Melo is entering his prime. Time to see some positive results.

This rebuild around LaMelo stuff is getting old. He's our best player lead us to success.

I'm honestly surprised that anyone thinks Miles is a foundational or core player over Brandon. Yes he's been here longer, but I doubt anyone (including the coaching staff and FO) thinks he's more important than Brandon.

I don't really understand your comment about rebuilding around LaMelo. Are you suggesting that we've been trying to win? Because I think intentionally blowing the team up to rebuild again is actually what would be old.
