Who had a better rookie season - Cam in 2011 or LaMelo this year?

Cam rookie season is consider 1 of the greatest rookie QB season ever.. He broke Atleast 10 records and ushered in a new identity to QBing.. 

Lamelo is killing it but it's still not a all time rookie season.. Cam rookie year is more comparable to Lebron and Magic's rookie year..

this is where I am I think.   

Cam's rookie season actually was more impressive stacked up vs those that came before him than if you did that same thing w/ Melo.   But basketball is basketball and one man has a much bigger impact on a season.

It's not a Hornets issue it's what's happened to the game. The soccer-style flopping is just out of control. Hell, if I wasn't such a huge UNC fan I'd be done with basketball altogether. I very rarely watch a basketball game that doesn't involve UNC.  That's a big change for me. Growing up, basketball was hands down my favorite sport, both as a participant and as a fan.

I'm sorry you have this opinion but this year has been one of the most entertaining in years... Alot of top teams and young upcoming teams battling.. Different style of basketball being seen on a nightly basis..

Big man are coming back and the guard play on a nightly basis is incredibly..

I'd give the edge to Cam.  Cam really set a new baseline for all subsequent top picks because of how he performed in his rookie season.  It was unthought of that a rookie could pass for 4k yards... and that is completely disregarding the absurd 14 rushing touchdowns he put up.  

Melo is leading the Hornets to the playoffs, but I don't necessarily think he is resetting the standard for how top rookies should be expected to perform moving forward like Cam did.

This is arguably the most fun/entertaining Hornets team we’ve seen in like 20 years. It’s not too late to hop back on board.

The counter argument to that is that the most fun team we’ve seen in 20 years currently doesn’t even have home court advantage in a potential first round series. 

there is less than 0 parody in the nba. We have potentially the best chance at a superstar we’ve ever had in lamelo and still would need about 5-6 unlikely things to happen to even sniff the chance at winning a championship.

Every time I turn on a game, there's ridiculous flopping all over the place. They gotta reel it in. Way too much acting in the game.

*Pariety*  But you also add to why I can't watch it 2-4 teams are the only ones that have a shot..... The Hornets are 20-18 from what I've heard Ball had been great.... but they will be dusted in four games in round one.

Again I just don't see all this flopping you claim is ruining the game.. Agree to disagree..

I think the league is in the best shape it's been in years...

Disagree with this as well..

You have 6 teams at the top right now who can say their true title contenders.. Utah, Brooklyn, Lakers, Philly, Clippers and Denver..  You have teams in the middle who could challenge if their star gets hot in the playoffs Boston, Milwaukee, Portland, Dallas, and Phoenix.. Then you have a few young teams that can take a few of the top teams to long series and win a few playoffs game.. Charlotte, New York, New Orleans, Spurs, and Memphis... I like how this league is stacked up.

You can find weekly highlight reels of flopping that are feature movie length (from just the games played the prior week)

You can find that in football to... Just funny how we act like it doesn't happened in all sports league... There are alot of JR. Thespian in sports...

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
