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'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
