I was doubtful at first but I'm coming around on him. I can see him and Bouknight serving as the heat-check Monk role by committee off the bench..

One of them should be able to score on any given night.. I think it would be rare for them both to be off - and it takes a lil pressure off of Bouknight to be at 15ppg guy that we lost in Monk..

Either the 2nd Martin bro or Richards will be cut to make room for him.. I think Cody brings proven ability to play D on the wing and it will be Richards who gets the boot

I don't post here much (mostly Panther forum) but after watching some of the summer league games and some YouTube comments LiAngelo.  I think he's for real.

The Hornet Summer team was a bunch of players trying to show off.  There was little to no passing to the open guy.  LiAngelo consistently was TRYING to play team ball.  Go watch the videos of him during these games you'll see what I mean. 

Bouknight was abysmal.  Terrible shot selection, wasn't looking for the open man, turnover after turnover and did nothing to impress me.  I'm not worried though, once he gets to training camp he'll be reared in. 

Ball may not be a starter or even a major contributor but IMO he has the skills and toughness to play in this league.  I also would not look past the Ball combination.  LeMelo is amazing at finding the open man and big brother knows this.  Plus LeMelo knows when the ball is in his hand if LiAngelo isn't standing wide open for a three he'll be cutting to the basket.  Don't underestimate this combo. 

The videos mention that he can guard 1 through 4.  

I hope he makes the team.  

If they got all three Ball's what fun it would be.

Stick around bro. You belong. The Hornets forum is actually a better place sometimes.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
