Lance, Kemba, Hendo, & Vonleh all out. Pacers killing us. However, Big Al looks great & like he's ready to roll.

MKG continues to knock down jumpers. He looks excellent &, more importantly, comfortable shooting jumpers. He's gonna have a breakout year. He's 4-4 already & just drained a 20ft jump shot with perfect form. He got the ball & the defender did the patent "MKG's got the ball, back off 6ft move" & MKG immediately, without hesitating, buried the jumper.

Somebody give Mark Price a cookie.

Should have never traded Sessions....I have a feeling our 2nd team is gonna struggle with Roberts out there

 

Or just kept Napier

Napier is another Kemba. Don't want that. Roberts is more than capable of being the man

Is there a chance Lance or Kemba miss the opener? They've both missed several games with injuries. Haven't heard anything on if they're really hurt or just being held out as a precaution.

Would be a bummer not to have our #2 & #3 guys.

 

Has to be a precaution. All the coach-speak about "We have to treat this like it's a regular season game" is just coach-speak. In reality I'm sure Clifford is enjoying the opportunity to figure out how his second and third rotations fit together, because the starting lineup is obviously set in stone at this point.

 

If all the new additions don't gel out of the gate, it won't be because of lack of playing time in the preseason. LeBron has even admitted it's going to take awhile for the Cavs to really be the team everybody expects. Usually you see a bunch of fluky wins from bottom feeders over contenders early on before the dust really settles around December.

 

Really excited for MKG. Would love to see him keep these preseason performances up against the Greek Freak.

That's true, but not on Wednesday. The players are pumped about the rebrand and seem to really understand what I means to this city. I fully expect us to mop the floor with the Bucks and absolutely destroy them.

Ugh. Charlotte sports fan syndrome. Literally everything about that game points to the scenario you just laid out so I fear a let-down.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J. Jansen  * = Draft Pick # = Free Agent / Trade () = Undrafted Free Agent

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
