Deepest Hornets Team Ever?

[Chapelchilla]

If the Hornets resign DSjr, Miles and PJ this team may be their deepest ever I think. Any others in the mix?

LaMelo, DSJ, Rozier
Rozier, Miller, Martin, Smith, Bryce
Miles, Hayward, Miller, Martin
PJ, Miles, Thor,
Williams, Richards, Jones, Nanji

Probably need to move Terry pronto but dang that is a deep team.
With good health, a bit of luck and continued player development we could be really good soon.

[KingCat]

Nah, the NBA is deeper than ever. Maybe this team does damage ten years ago, but atm I'm struggling to see anything more than another playin run baring Millee being a instant stud and/or Miles taking another leap during his year off.

[BeesWax]

The issue is you need some stars. I think Melo has that potential if he stays healthy and Miles maybe but the rest of these guys are role players. We need to get lucky and find an actual star to compliment Melo who can also be a leader.

A bench of:

DSJ
Martin
Hayward
Miller
Richards

Is easily the best bench we've had in a long time. We also have quality depth coming up behind them in Thor, McGowens, NSJ, and hopefully Kai.

[Snidely FC]

you forgot Bouknight (Freudian?)

and Amari Bailey

[GoBobs]

I think it is going to be a probable rotation of:

LaMelo
Miller/Rozier/Bryce
Hayward/Martin
PJ/Miles/Thor
Williams/Richards

Only real open spot is backup PG, could be one of the rookies or a free agent. Jones, Nanji, Bouknight, Nick Smith, Baily all need to outplay somebody or show they can be the backup pg to have a chance for a regular rotation spot this year. Rozier or Hayward trade wouldn't totally shock me. Probably bringing PJ and MIles back, maybe Oubre also, and every year just when you think we already have plenty of people Mitch tends to go out and sign some other totally random free agent.

This team is exactly 7 deep, if we're talking about usable rotation players in a playoff series.

We are incredibly deep with fringe talent. Like... statistically, some combination of NSJ, Nnaji, Bailey, Bryce, Thor, Kai, Richards, Bouk could eventually be able to develop into functional players, but at the present time, all are either too raw/inexperienced to be relied on, and I would be quite thrilled if any of them was actually ready in time for next season's playoffs to supplant Cody Martin as the team's 8th man... who I'd consider the basic threshold for a viable rotation player.

We have 7 really solid players (if Miller is who the front office thinks he is) in LaMelo, Miller, Bridges, PJ, Mark, Hayward, and Rozier, and a collection of barely usable/totally unusable players. At the present, I'm not remotely comfortable with our 8th-15th roster spots, if we're trying to compete... especially since one of the top 7 guys plays 45 games every season. Our bench isn't good enough to be "depth" yet, it's a daycare.

I think excluding Nick Richards and Cody Martin here as solid players seems a bit wild. Nick looked liked our best player at times last year no lies.

I have very high hopes for Bryce this upcoming season as well.

Kemba is lower on those guys relative to others. I definitely consider them solid regular rotational pieces with clear, defined roles.

Hoping this is the year JT breaks out.
