Future bust. Still too young to call him that but he wont be a top 5 player of this draft

Well they suck without Kd so thats not shocking. They beat Orlando by 2pts in the other game he missed and they were doing the foul before 3 thing for the last 30 secs :lol:

Jalen Green should just how garrison matthews paly catch and shoot while open and in open court leak out.. they are doing it without an average nba level point guard outside dj augustin

It seems like they stopped playing their core young guys KPJ and Green, who are still learning, and started Gordon. And they also played some crappy teams. At this point they might as well play Wall, lol.

Most rookies are terrible and hurt the team when they are on the floor. Out of the rookies that have played atleast 15mpg and 10 games, only 3 have a positive +/- per game

Austin Reaves - 3.8
Evan Mobley - 3.3
Chris Duarte - 1.4

Scottie Barnes is -1.9
Sengun is -3.1
Franz Wagner -3.8
Suggs -4.5
Cunningham -4.6
Giddey -7.6

Granted Jalen Green has been really bad (-13.8), he plays on an awful team and isn't really put in a good position to succeed.

Overall +/- is a pretty much the worst stat one can use in comparing players on different teams. Of course players on terrible teams are very likely to have very poor +/- ratings. On-off will give you a slightly better idea, but still very flawed and influenced by many team factors.

Just looking at their names they sound like Bust

The main issue is now christian wood seems to perform on his supposed billing..we didnt even see sengun perform well in this run.. he has the potentuial to be jokic lite offensively for them as he seems to have an nba ready body now..

Beating the Nets without KD is not saying much.

Well when the Hornets played them Eric Gordon was really good. Seems to be a theme in the win streak too, along with Greens absence.

However, they need to chill out for lotto purposes haha

Longest win streak in the NBA. Now seven in a row. Think about that. Someone about to get fired!

Overall aren't they just being what most informed people expected?
Young, athletic, and exciting enough to beat anybody but also young, inexperienced, and raw enough to lose to anybody too.
The only difference is they've done it all in bunches so far.

First time I'm seeing them this year and I'm impressed actually
They move the ball, they have shooters, some inside threats, they move well on D... looks like a good team.
