Hornets @ Lakers... MKG JUST SHOT AND MADE A BUCKET FROM BEHIND THE THREE POINT LINE. ON PURPOSE.

The MKG part was absolutely necessary.  The biggest thing i was worried about with his injury was his inability to keep working on his shot and then when he came back against Portland he drove almost every time he shot and didn't shoot so great from the FT line.  That being said, his shot still looked fluid and the hitch hadn't came back.  He came out tonight strong again, made another tough layup on a drive and then the 3 pointer.  Idk about you all, but in these two games he's looked more assertive and like a "franchise guy" than i've ever seen him.

Regardless, it deserved a thread.  War Panthers.  Keep Pounding.

If he develops an outside shot, he'll become an all star. This league is lacking small forwards who can rebound and play defense like him. Maybe not this year but if he works hard this summer, I'm going to look forward to him next year.

Paul George, LeBron, Durant.

Those are the 3s that MKG is on the level of when it comes to rebounding.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
