Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
I'm fine with the team banning MKG from playing until opening night. At the very least put him out there with elbow and knee pads, one of those shoulder pads like Crash used to wear and a protective facemask. Tape all his fingers together on both hands so he just has two mittens, and steel toed high tops, the kind that go halfway up your lower leg.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
Give him a 15 mpg limit until the ASB for all I care. It's going to be a nerve wracking season, going to be holding my breath every time MKG slams into someone or dives on the floor, which is going to be like 15 times per game.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
I am excited for this bitch to start. I think MKG finally plays a full season, Kaminsky is much improved, and Hibbert plays well above his contract on the 2nd unit.
The only thing I am nervous about is Sessions. He has never really been a winning team's backup PG. Lin was at least solid defensively when he was having an off night.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
Five seven-footers on a 19-man roster, plus another who is 6' 11". Only one is considered a "rim-protector," although Zeller's defense is underrated. This could work, or they could end up with a lot of galumphing centers and forwards, Zeller excepted.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
Very intrigued with Sulaimon. Has nice physical tools, but isn't all there mentally at times.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
Thats by far the most talented training camp roster we've had since ive followed this team. We have so many decent young guys. Im really curious to see who gets the final few spots.

Re: Hornets 2016-17 Preseason
I wish we would trade MKG already. I cant wait to see Chrisian Wood play for us. I am a fan of his sorta a huge one. I dont think he will be that good but really fun to watch

For me its his injuries. He just cant seem to stay healthy and the fact that he has a clumsyness to him doesn't help. He looks like heis galloping when he runs. Like an animal. I think he will have an injury filled career but I hope not. I would trade him for 2 first if we are lucky to get one and move on
