OTA Observations

Your argument is fair, but kind of like what Zod said, I'd rather reach in round 4 than have none of my second round picks pan out or trade them like years past.

But let's say Kug gets healthy and ends up being a decent guard. Is he still a reach?

 

I guess that depends on what your definition of "decent" is. Guess I could agree with that. We can only hope.

 

First and foremost though he is actually going to have to get on the field, and at this point it does not look all that good.

Zod's not saying to give up on the guy, but it's obvious he's a project in the mold of a Brandon Williams who may get a shot purely because of his physical tools. But expecting him to contribute right away is a huge stretch.

Everyone seams to have missed that we also cut Jasper the same day, not just bond. So it could be that they just want a really heavy body on the practice field with no plans to ever play him.

Gettleman does great in FA though and you don't want to fug up there and overpay. So I'm fine if his only flaw is reaching once or twice in later rounds - like others have stated.

Well good news is we had less people on the bikes than we were anticipating. Really appreciate all the hi-res pictures and updates you give Zod!

We're talking about practice, man.  We're talking about practice.  We're not even talking about a game.

 

 

We're not even talking about practice really.  It's a starting point to learn the system and get your feet wet.  I'm not going to throw the towel in on a guy because he has a couple of shitty OTAs.

 

OTAs are part of tryouts. He hasn't made the 52 man team yet. Chances are if you suck at practice then your going to suck even more in the real game. This is basically like his interview to get a job as a member of the panthers organization. If he sucking this bad at the interview he probably won't get hired.

i think they are closed off to the public, and no peaking bc the black cloths on the fences. Go see them when there at Training camp thats open to the public.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
