McNeeley was held out because of Achilles tendinopathy. Sion James was held out because of a hip issue.

Missed the game sleeping because of being sick. Another win though and checked out the game on dvr and Kon didn't look too bad today. Anyone know why McNeeley and James didn't play?

He just didn't fit and was promised a few things that just weren't likely or maybe even possible for him to accomplish in the Canes system. Hindsight probably says both teams regret the signing to a degree. That all being said, the dude played his ass off and could hip check someone into a different dimension.

Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim, Strengths - shooting and IQ. Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

They had Bailey or Johnson sitting there for them. Both better prospects than Kon.

It was announced that it was part of the plan and he will play on the 14th as of right now. Lol

Kalkbrenner wins the game with a pretty nice block. Number 4 for the night. Kon doesn't play because of his ankle injury from the draft process. McNeeley doesn't look nearly as good but wasn't bad.

Tidjane Salaün has looked good through two games so far.

I'm not saying he's a bust from that one game (even though I hated the pick) Kon is a backup SG that comes in and stands in the corner and occupies a defender at worst. I agree even if Kon is the above the team probably ends up with Kalkbrenner - starting center that needs to add strength to be most effective but has a good skill set. McNeeley - high upside shooter with good create ability that plays relentlessly. Kon - Another high upside shooter with less create ability and less motor. James - high upside 3&D guy That's not a bad draft at all considering they already had Ball and Miller who can drive and create.

Told everyone that Kalkbrenner was being penciled in as the starter at the 5. McNeely is going to end up ahead of Kon on the depth chart at the 2 before it's all said and done. If ya wanted shooting and offense at the 2, you needed to take Johnson and not Kon. He just doesn't fit in the NBA and I don't understand the draft rankings. I had Kon outside the top 10 around 15th or so.

I'm gonna pretend that McNeely and Kon were drafted in each other's spot. Lmfao

Kon isn't long enough or athletic enough to make his own shots in the NBA or play adequate defense. He's purely a catch and shoot guy and that's it. Not even a 3&D guy, just a shooter.

9-8 but loosing to the Jaguars, Patriots and Jets. Lmfao

If you move Jarvis to line 2 at center then your lines are probably going to be the following. Ehlers - Aho - Svechnikov (Svech and Ehlers can switch and play either side. Hall - Jarvis - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Blake Carrier - Jankowski - KK Could also make the case to switch Stankoven and Blake around.

He's pretty damn good defensively, 55% fo center and still a half point per game player at 36. 98% defensive EV and 61% WAR player if going into advanced stats.

Also don't forget he's been playing with a busted shoulder for a few years now. Slides out of socket and has to be popped back in. That can't help the face off numbers either.

The Canes were talking to them about both before Ehlers signed.

Apparently the Canes have had multiple offers for KK, but have turned them down since they don't have someone to take over as the 2nd center.

Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

So what I heard wasn't wrong, he just took less term and money to sign with the Canes. Nice!

Hornets signed Spencer Dinwiddie to a one year deal.

K'Andre confirmed he's playing right side and it was discussed with him prior to signing. So we do now know the most likely pairings Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Ghost - Walker

Smith ran into a Will Shields problem. Lol

It's either Jarvis or Stankoven unless they pull off a trade. I'd imagine that KK will play wing on the third line. Svechnikov - Aho - Ehlers Hall - Jarvis - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - KK Robinson - Jankowski - Carrier Looks a lot better to me. Lol
