This kid has been injured a lot during his rookie season - hasn't he?
And now he's out until around Jan/Feb 2022?

Good trade for Memphis
Los Angeles has "stepped up its efforts" to trade for Hield ahead of Thursday's NBA draft, offering the Sacramento Kings a package that includes the No. 22 overall pick as well as Montrezl Harrell and either Kyle Kuzma or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Looks like Rod Boone will officially join the Charlotte Observer as Rick bonnell's replacement. It definitely seems like a logical replacement. Best of luck rod.

Westbrook has never set more than 68 ball screens in any season, per Second Spectrum. He set 19 in Washington. Nineteen! Bismack Biyombo runs into his own ball handlers by accident at least that many times!
Fans of the Raptors, Wizards, and Pacers will be mad seeing Charlotte here. I get it. I have no idea how the Hornets cobbled a league-average defense while playing bundles of small ball, hemorrhaging rebounds, and allowing the second-most 3s (including the most corner 3s!) and fourth-most rim attempts.
That is some serious smoke and mirrors, and Charlotte's zone -- which they played more than anyone, per Second Spectrum -- sewed confusion.
They will likely play smaller even more often without a viable center behind Mason Plumlee. Lineups with P.J. Washington at center outscored opponents by about six points per 100 possessions despite god-awful rebounding; can that hold up?
But there is just something about this team. LaMelo Ball is real. He is a perfect fit with Washington and Miles Bridges, guys at the right age to make mini-leaps. (Bridges made a big one last season.) Gordon Hayward is healthy and with Kelly Oubre Jr. gives Charlotte depth and strength at the wing -- grist for small-ball groups.
These guys have a good spirit. Old and slow teams absolutely hate playing them. I smell something.
