LVSL QF's: Charlotte Hornets vs. New York Knicks


Recommended Posts

Tip-Off: 4:00, NBATV

So.... we meet again.

After getting dismantled by the Knicks earlier in Summer League the 23rd seeded Charlotte Hornets have gone on a run to advance to the quarterfinals of the LVSL Tournament.

The Hornets have finally found their groove offensively but they're going to have to improve defensively if they want to beat a Knicks team that could have up to five roster players on it.

Having made it this far, we might as well win this thing.

Hornets Roster

PG: Mickey McConnell, Roberto Nelson, Jerome Dyson

SG: P.J. Hairston, Rion Brown, James Bell

SF: Justin Brownlee, Justin Jackson, DeMon Brooks

PF: Noah Vonleh, Josh Davis, Jamie Skeen

C: Cody Zeller, Jordan Bachysnki, Jarred Shaw

Knicks Roster

PG: Shane Larkin, Langston Galloway, Brandon Triche

SG: Tim Hardaway Jr., Shannon Brown, Zane Johnson

SF: Cleanthony Early, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Will Sheehey

PF: Jeremy Tyler, Travis Wear, Cameron Moore

C: Jordan Henriquez, Jordan Vandenberg

Inactive: Cole Aldrich

Shane Larkin is such a steady good player. He is going to be a ten year vet ala a Derek Fisher type guys who is just a solid leader wherever he is. Slightly more talented than Fisher too.

I think Noah Vonleah staying on the floor without fouling out and playing with more balance is a huge key.

Also it is amazing how less Jerome Dyson is playing we have been on a winning streak...have I mentioned i think he is horrible?

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
