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.

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

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      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
