OMFKG! The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread II

[Eoghan]

With Taylor out (although it hurts the Bobcats as a team), do you guys see his minutes taking a big uptick? Or will CDR pretty much take all of Taylor's minutes?

Taylor's minutes will probably be spit between CDR and Tolliver, with the later getting more burn depending on if we need 3 pt shooting.

MKG should get an uptick in minutes but Clifford is a rookie head coach after all. It seems very apparent to me that MKG was the anchor of our early season's stout defense. When we had Kemba, Hendo, MKG, and Taylor in the rotation we had enough guys that could guard their man individually enough to hide the nonexistent defense of Jefferson.

MKG is this teams MVP

hallelujah....they should never post pictures of MKG shooting.

MKG is such a good defender, he's blocking his own jumpshot.

That frame actually looks a lot better. Other than his guide hand being on top of the ball, it looks pretty good. I'd take that over Zeller launching set shots beside his ear.

He seems really close to Kemba huh.

I hope one day MKG recruits Ants to come to Charlotte.

[Elden Payton]

Considering they are our future, it's great they get along so well.

MKG's month long absence might end up being a blessing in disguise because it put a magnifying glass on how important he is to the team, dismissing Clifford's earlier notion of benching him during key moments of the game for so-called 'spacing'

If he still benches MKG at the end of the game for Tolliver.....he needs to be fired for being stupid

Anyone care to project MKG's stats ROS?

13 points on at least 47% shooting, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, & 1 block

I think he'll return from injury a more aggressive scorer after observing from the sidelines for over a month how much they need him to be. I don't think he's a offensively challenged player. I just think he previously lacked the assertiveness to be a solid scorer. Hopefully, he returns a more confident & self-assured player

i am expecting a bit of a slow re-start for MKG. he did not respond well last year after returning from injury. he was passive on offense when he came back. he didnt have much room for error on that jumper, so any regression there, while he gets his shooting rhythm back, would be troubling.

Steve Clifford said he'll start MKG vs. Knicks and probably play him in 6-7 minute segments initially.

That's better than the 5-6 minute segments he played him before the injury

[thruthefire]

He will average double figures for a dozen or so games before falling off a cliff.

oh dear....

you would think if you were going to come back under a new account that you would change your name to reflect something related to the hornets. maybe hornets_buddy.
