NBA Memo to Hornets Leaked


Blu Cat

Recommended Posts

As someone who has had to watch Gerald Henderson for years I can appreciate this letter.

And before the Hendo crowd jumps all over me for that, he has been playing that way since he got here year's ago and hasn't changed, which makes him the poster child for the Hornets lack of long range shooting, even when he has teammates that are somehow worse..

Hey, the only way to watch the Hornets this year is to laugh, cry, or make corny jokes. I choose the latter.

The 3 point concept has always been something that has been lost on the new iteration of the Charlotte franchise. From not being able to shoot it, to not ever defending it. Bulls started the game 11-14 from 3 in the first 15 minutes. Then the Jazz go 12-15 from 3 in the first half. I've never seen that happen in one game, let alone back to back games.

Allowing 23-29 from 3 should force some adjustments. Hell, Diop couldn't even go 23-29 on layups, and we allow this from 3 in a competitive game.

To have two long time franchises set records for 3 point makes to start the game, the league felt they had to step in and let them know about this concept.

It is interesting that we have lacked the ability to score consistently from behind the arc since Emeka Okafor's first photo with a Bobcats cap.

 

Like, I love Seinfeld, but If I watched it every year for 12 straight years, watching the same material, the jokes would eventually get...

 

...actually they would still be hilarious...bad example...

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
