Trey Murphy killing it in preseason for the Pels. 12-19 from 3 through the first two games.

Bouknight looked pretty good in his first game, makes me not miss Monk and his "shows up for 33% of NBA games" at all

Yes he did, and hopefully that continues and makes it so we don’t miss Monk at all. Bouknight looks like the real deal. Although I’d certainly rather have Monk out there than Martin.

As an end of the bench gap filler, I’d rather Martin.
He’s not going to demand minutes and will always provide heady defense. Monk needs the 6th man role, I was ready to give that to someone else this season.

You left out the part where he was -19 (second worst on the team) giving up more points than he scored.

He also had 4 stupid turnovers from trying to over play.

Jalen Crutcher and Cameron McGriff added
After waiving DJ Carton and Xavier Sneed, they signed Jalen Crutcher and Cameron McGriff. Crutcher, who played in college at Dayton, was a member of Milwaukee’s summer league team. McGriff, an Oklahoma State product, was on the Hornets’ summer league roster, although he didn’t play in any games. Both signed Exhibit 10 contracts, sources told the Observer.

The signings of Crutcher and McGriff means the Hornets’ roster still stands at the maximum of 20. They also retain the G League rights to Carton and Sneed, putting them on track to potentially join the Greensboro Swarm.

McGriff looks like he could bring some excitement to Gboro

Terry sprained his ankle. He's out next game at least.

Whose expectations crashed back to earth harder - Hornets fans after that Grizzlies beat down, or Panthers fans after that Eagles monstrosity?

I don't really pay much attention to preseason in either sport, but that Panthers game yesterday may have been the most disappointed I've been in either team in a long time.
