I don’t think he’s particularly slow. I think he’s a typical stretch four. It’s hard to justify taking a stretch four early because for every KD there are hundreds of average players like P.J. Washington. I can see why some might be hesitant to take Holmgren this year because this could be a very good draft: Smith, Banchero, Ivey, Davis, Agbaji, Murray and going down even further you have guys like Williams, Hardy, Baldwin, Wesley, Keels, Houston, Chandler… strong draft imo.

Holmgren will be fine… he’s a healthier Porzingis and an elite shot blocker. He probably won’t be a cornerstone piece of a roster but he could easily put up Porzingis numbers.

I’m going to hold out hope that if we don’t make the playoffs maybe the NBA will finally reward us with the #1 overall draft pick. Holmgren, Smith, or Banchero would be awesome to have.

With this being a summer friendly, hopefully it’s more for show than anything… no sense in getting guys hurt as we head toward the World Cup. Nonetheless, the atmosphere should be electric.

The fanbase is making The Bank a tough place to play for opposing teams and while the turf was a sore subject to talk about regarding the football team, the futbol team is reaping the rewards. MAR’s Spanish tiki taka style of play works extremely well on turf due to the nature of the quick one-touch passing. Only six more wins and Charlotte will have already matched Austin’s (the most recent expansion team besides Charlotte) win total from their first year.

Happy for Staal, he struggled early and I had cancelled him thinking he was done… glad to be wrong.

Loving Domi tonight… Give me KK - Domi - Marty (Stepan) once we’re all healthy.

Charlotte’s Hispanic population is really showing up and I’m glad the team marketed to them the supporters section has been one of the best in the MLS. We have a bright future and though our team is incomplete (I believe we’ll make moves in the next transfer window): Kahlina, Lindsey, Corujo, Lindsey, Franco, Bender, Alcivar, and Swiderski are great building blocks. Lindsey deserves tons of credit, I can see him becoming one of the best right backs in the MLS in a few years time.

Domi is definitely a center… Not sure what they want to do when KK gets back.

Bring on Atlanta on Wednesday (I believe). Ball vs. Young.

F the Bucks… hope the Celtics tank tonight as well and lock the Bucks into the two seed for blatantly tanking to avoid Brooklyn.

Lol the Bucks are tanking to avoid Brooklyn and Brooklyn isn’t going to lose to Indiana. Hornets will have to do it as the 10th seed.

Looks like things might hold true… Bucks are resting Giannis.

Charlotte is now up to 5th in the table… playoff position.

Really need more from Franco. Bender and Alcivar have been great in the midfield. We really need one of Franco, Ruiz, or Ortiz to step up.

I fugging love MAR, his honesty and straightforwardness is unmatched. Wish also managers and coaches were like that. It also looks like Franco is cramping or pulled up with something, wouldn’t be surprised to see Titi Ortiz or Ruiz come on.

Solid half so far, I’d like to see more aggressiveness from Mora. We can only go forward with Lindsey down the right hand side so much before it becomes obvious. Additionally, why play Bender on the left when you don’t use the left? He provides great service and won’t be able to do it if we don’t play down the left.

Middle of the pack team but we certainly have a chance to make the playoffs.

Holy poo… Alcivar from the corner.

We got a derby match today… Charlotte FC vs. Atlanta United Going with the 4-4-2 diamond. GK - Kahlina LB - Mora LCB - Fuchs RCB - Corujo RB - Lindsey LM - Bender CDM - Bronico CAM - Alcivar RM - Franco LF - Swiderski RF - Rios

His ELC expires next year so it would make sense to give him a look.

Another day at the office for Pyotr the Great. 12 games played, 11 wins, 1 OT loss, 1.72 GAA, .935 save %, 1 assist, and 2 penalty minutes for trying to fight an opposing teams goalie…
