Mmm... ok. He's still 3rd option behind Jefferson and Kemba on offense.

Clifford says Kaminsky is a lot better than he realized. Says he has a chance to be a terrific player. @hornets #HornetsMediaDay

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell 7m7 minutes ago
"He's going to play, whether it's early or late. All he has to figure out is the physical part." -- Clifford on rookie Kaminsky.

I can't tell if Lin is wearing that headband ironically or not.

This worries me, I don't see Batum as a 2nd option never mind a 1st. Don't turn him into something he's not...

Meh, more like get ready for Marvin at backup SF. I highly doubt Marv kicks Cody or Hawes out of the rotation, and we pretty much don't have a backup SF unless PJ takes a big step forward.

I'm thinking that Marvin's shooting will get him the starting job. Hopefully Kaminsky is staring by the end of the year though.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

All the stuff about Big Al Jefferson losing weight? It's true. The man is fit enough to run the court without taking a break. He's lean.

I don't see anyway possible that Marvin is our starting PF. I don't care if he spent 12 hours a day in the gym in the off season.

I am pretty sure Lin was in the game Final Fantasy 10, playing Blitzball
