Walker said he took the initiative to sell everyone – the front office, the coaching staff and Carter-Williams – on what a good fit this could be.

“I’m the one who got that deal done,” Walker said after an appearance at the Hornets’ summer basketball camp at Charlotte Latin. “I’m the one who called Jeff, I’m the one who talked to MCW. I spoke to everybody - MJ (owner Michael Jordan), Rich (Cho, the general manager).

“Why wouldn’t you want a guy who was rookie of the year? He’s 6-6. I’ve played against him over the years, and I think he’s a really special talent.”

This is a good sign for the Hornets. It shows Kemba that as an organization we respect his opinion as leader of the team. This might help us when we renegotiate his contact.

That's what I felt was really revealing and something I appreciate. You can't let the players determine the roster but their opinions  should count.

I hope MCW pans out for us I am just worried about him and MKG ever being on the floor at the same time, the spacing will be non existent unless one or both figures out how to hit a 3 during the offseason.

I don't think we will see much of the MCW & MKG lineup except if we are up and trying to keep a lead. Now, let's not fool ourselves their shooting is awful but both can drive to the basket and finish. 

PG: Kemba SG: MCW SF: Batum PF: MKG C: Zeller

Now having Howard would make our defense better, but I think Zeller would be playing down the stretch due to FT%. This lineup would be quite good defensively especially against the increasingly present small lineups. 

Now if we need scoring at the end: Kemba, Monk, Batum, Frank, Zeller

The leaguewide obsession with the 3 has really changed the dynamic of player valuation. No way a player like MCW would be available even 5 years ago for the price we got him on. The only way to exploit the strategy is to put together a squad of big, tough, perimeter defenders and guys who can just beat you to the basket time after time. I'm tired of hearing about MCW taking threes. That's not his game. It would be nice if he had a shot, but like I said elsewhere if he had a shot he'd be on a max deal. Let's be real, we're not going to out-talent anyone. We have to outwork teams if we're going to be competitive. Play with dedication to the system and hustle. MCW does those things. His three point production is about as pointless as Jerome Bettis' 40 time.

With how well Lamb played to end the season, I could see him playing some 3 in a lineup or of course Batum.  

Also, the 2 is going to be filled by Batum, Monk, and Lamb so I don't see us using substantial minutes with MCW there.  

MCW-Monk-Lamb/Batum-Zeller-Frank presents a pretty interesting package.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      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
