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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
