Joint practices have really changed the value of preseason games for starters

Swinging for the fences... a good way to strike out. lol

Reed sheppard is the target for the trade up from what I understand.

Ill worry about us losing in the finals once we get there. However I totally agree about the concern. Personally I think asking your superstar player to defend is important for any winning team, and that starts with Lamelo. Knecht or no knecht, Lamelo needs to step up on that side of the ball.

I'll take Knecht - i'm completely out on Castle, 5th in points and 5th rebounds on his Uconn starting 5 and 2nd in turnovers. Knecht has an NBA frame and an NBA skillset - you can find rangy hustle defenders at any point in the draft/UDFA. Very few players come into the league scoring at all 3 levels like knecht. I also like his ability to finish at the rim/elevate. But yeah... on ball defense is awful.

Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?
Old Depot replied to hepcat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Awesome thread, some of these takes are so bad it forced me to make an account. Is this the worst time in charlottes sports history? yes, competitively we suck. But the hornets moving to NOLA is above this on the list, Rae Carruth, Jerry's scandal, etc. all trump this period in my book. For the Raleigh support group, i love you guys but you don't even qualify for OP's conditions. OP is only referring to city's with an NFL team and an NBA team, and it's a short short list. I could be wrong, but I have 13 cities. Dallas, DC, Boston, New York, Charlotte, Phoenix, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, and LA. If we want to be technical, the Patriots play 90 minutes from Boston, the Cowboys play in the equivalent of Concord to us, and both of New York's teams play in a different state. The name on the jersey is just branding, not actual location. That leaves 10 cities, that meet the requirements. Charlotte can be the worst of these 10 sports cities.... but we all know Philadelphia is a poo hole.
