LVSL: Charlotte Hornets (0-0) vs. Golden State Warriors (0-0)


Recommended Posts

Well, the time has come. The Charlotte Hornets will make their official debut tonight at 8:30.

 

It's come to my attention that the game will be broadcast on ESPN3 (safer than bootleg websites). So if you have internet access, you will have a chance to watch the Hornets game tonight instead of waiting for the replay.

 

With that said, here is the starting line-up for the Charlotte Hornets with the reserves listed behind them.

 

PG: Mickey McConnell, Jerome Dyson

SG: P.J. Hairston, James Bell, Roberto Nelson

SF: Justin Brownlee, Justin Jackson, Rion Brown

PF: Noah Vonleh, DeMon Brooks, Jamie Skeen, Josh Davis

C: Jordan Bachynski, Jared Shaw

 

Inactive: Cody Zeller (attending wedding)

 

Now for the Warriors roster (not a line-up)

 

PG: Nemanja Nedovic, Aaron Craft, Kiwi Gardner, Walt Lemon, Tyrus McGee

SG: Orlando Johnson, Rodney McGruder, Justin Holiday, Travis Bader

SF: Lance Goulbourne, Davon Usher, Roderick Odom

PF: James Michael McAdoo, Christian Watford, Mitchell Watt, Rob Loe

C:  Ognjen Kuzmic

 

Inactive: Festus Ezeli

 

Personally, I expect us to win pretty easily.

Im pumped! Things I'm curious about...

-How much range does Noah really have? how physical is he? Handling in the open court.

-pj's shot selection, defense and effort. Passing ability.

-bachynski - how quick he can move and how he runs the court. And if his blocking instincts are as good as advertised

Anyone know how I could watch it using ESPN 3 at work? I have espn through directv, but last time I checked, it wont allow you to watch it as a directv subscriber. You have to be through charter, TW, etc., IIRC.

Not sure if this helps but the "NBA Summer League" app is showing the games today as a free trial. Works well on my phone and has box score, play by play etc.

It's unfortunate that Ezeli pulled out. I would have liked to see Bachysnki against Ezeli.

 

Oh by the way, Mickey McConnell can ball. He was the starting point guard of the Texas Legends last year (P.J.'s team). He can drop dimes.

 

Roberto Nelson, Justin Jackson, Jamie Skeen, DeMonBrooks, James Bell, and Jerome Dyson are also pretty solid players in their own right.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
