Hornets making it to the finish line

Of all the young kids getting playing time over the last few games, which one has been the most disappointing? Which one has been the biggest surprise?

My vote for biggest disappointment is Bryce. My vote for biggest surprise is either svi or Thor

It's good to see b o u k has really worked on his three-point shooting. The Next Step I hope to see from him is just tightening up everything and speeding up everything. Tighten up his handles, his defensive rotations, speed up his catch and shoot, speed up his processing of the game. If we want him to be a legit catch and shoot threat off the ball, I'd like to see the ball get out of his hands a little quicker when it comes to him. Since his release is pretty slow often his catch and shoots end up being a pump fake and then back to an ISO situation.

Svi can give you 80% of what Kelly does for a fraction of the price. Something for the Hornets front office to consider this summer when determining which free agents to resign.

2 Rebounds in 34 mins for Thor today? wtf haha

Just tossing this out there, we lost by 30 and 20 over the last two games. It is great to see the young guys playing minutes and overall showing some flashes. Just be careful before we start mistaking these performances as legit rotation pieces next year.

Hoping this shooting for Bouk is legit moving forward. He had been on a tear in the gleague too.

I'd say Kai is most disappointing, because he still looks years and years away from contributing on a good team. There's really no point in signing him back when his contract is up, becuase he probably needs a solid 4 years in Europe and try to come back to the NBA when hes 27

so much material to work with

Last offseason coaching debacle, Montreal and Miles, PJ social media stuff, Melo being flamboyant, MJ selling.

Gotta be some gold in there

Yes that old Charlotte BobCAT dragged me in dead or alive. My ole computer crashed years ago yet I saved my NBA Jam thread pics to an external hard drive. I might have to switch Al Jefferson & Kemba Walker out but maybe it's time to wake from this Cat nap and get back into the fold.

Seems like I'm not up to date with the Charlotte Soaps but LaMelo does seem to draw a lot of attention despite himself. I'm sure I could come up with some idea's.

can you do negative nba jam sliders for bouknight?

I have a feeling GTs are going to be lit next season with pro Scoot guys bashing Miller when he has 6 points and Miller fans defending him. Happened a lot Kembas first couple years and I did a lot of the bashing.

I was admittedly stupid and wrong.

dont underestimate the opposite scenario of the pro miller crowd gloating any time miller has big game or scoot struggles. its a two way street, unfortunately. the endless scoreboarding, shoulder patting captain hindsight nonsense will be out of control either way.

to be fair, kemba wasnt ready for such a huge burden that year and was legit hard to watch as a rookie, despite the uconn stans celebrating every time he scored 20 on 7-for-25 shooting, horrible finishing, tunnel vision, endless step back mid range jumpers and bad defense.

Good point. Agreed.
