Saw somewhere that we're 9-4 this year with Kon, Miller and LaMelo in the lineup. 6-6 in our last 12 despite several injuries in that stretch too. At this point it really comes down to health -- especially LaMelo and to a lesser degree of concern Brandon. I think the roster is awfully close to being a playoff team (top 6 seed), offensively we are there but need more defensive help, especially a legit starting C (Kalk when healthy and Moussa are both fine players but neither should be starting right now for a team with playoff aspirations). Not sold on Lee but more games like last night and I'll start to believe obviously. Kon is an insanely good player period, let alone for a rookie. Great draft pick there. And Sion was a huge find, he already may be our best defensive player, although that's not saying much.
Seems like every time I say it the Hornets Hornet, but things seem to be finally looking up for this team.
