Again MKG is your defensive catalyst. There is no way he doesn't start.

 

Yes, MKG is your defensive catalyst, and if the Hornets pick up Hayward or Parsons in free agency, then no, MKG will not start. There's no way they would sign either of those guys to bring them off the bench, nor would they be able to sign them if that was the case.

 

I can see that you prefer emotion over facts.

 

Fact: If the Hornets acquire Gordon Hayward (or Chandler Parsons) and list them as a Small Forward while paying them what they would be making, they will be starting at Small Forward next season.

Rather have Rudy Gay. He's a lot more versatile and would open up our offense. Could play the 2 for us.

I think Gay along with Lance and Deng will be whom MJ will go hard at.

How come every team Gay played for gets better when he leaves...and his new team continues to suck.

Keep the Gay away..

That's why I don't see Parsons coming here. Hayward can play SG. So if he was brought here then Hendo is the one who wouldn't start.

Again MKG is the reason you can have a Big Al and Mcbob starting lineup and still have a top 6 defense.

That's where we disagree. Hayward's game is 100% SF. There's nothing about him that says SG. But again, if he does go to Charlotte and the team lists him as a SF (which he is), MKG won't be starting.

He'll play SG here plain and simple. Clifford is not taking his best defender off the court when he is all about defense.

Plus Hayward has better SG skills then Hendo.

Better ball handler, better running thru screens, better facilitator.

I repeat, if the team signs him and lists him as a SMALL FORWARD, then he will be starting over MKG.

 

The logical extension of that statement is, if they list him as a SG/SF, then he may or may not be starting over MKG depending on what else they do, so I have not disagreed with you on that particular point.

 

Where we have disagreed at is whether he should play SF or SG, and I have said that I think he would be better at SF. 

 

Not once in my comments have I assumed that Henderson will still be in Charlotte next season.

I repeat they won't. He can play SG better then Hendo and you kerp your best defender on the court. Which is very important to this coaching staff. Whether you like it or not.

Mr. Predictable. 

 

And we can keep going around in circles if you'd like. I DON'T CARE WHETHER THEY DO OR DON'T, but if they do, MKG WILL NOT BE STARTING.

I think Hayward could play 2 guard perfectly fine. And the difference between the 2 and 3 is trivial. Both play on the perimeter, they just have to matchup defensively, where MKG would take the better player.

 

You can plug any player into any position you'd like, that doesn't mean that's what they are or would be the best at. When Kemba and Sessions played at the same time, Kemba was still a PG even if he was the 2 at that time.

 

If they put Hayward at SG, he'll still be a SF playing SG. It's the same thing they did in Utah. A team can do whatever they want to, so like I said, if they list him as a SF, then he will be starting over MKG.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
