Was Christensen the biggest surprise?

I know it was just the preseason and it was against backups so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but I was pleasantly surprised with Christensen.  Especially at RT.  He had a couple bad snaps but overall I thought he had a pretty solid performance.  I know most of us have been hoping he would end up being good but as camp has went on I think a lot of doubt had started to creep in.  Most of the reports coming out were saying that the potential is there but hes definitely not ready, which is scary to hear about an older rookie.  Could it be that maybe he's just one of those guys that are better on game day?

The reports were from Zod. It's best not to trust his player takes.

The reports from others said he'd been doing fine

Remember we started Gross out on the right side and he was a first round pick.  I think people are expecting too much out of a rookie 3rd round pick to come in and win the starting LT spot right away at one of the most difficult spots to play in the NFL.

The guy hustled that's for sure.  I didn't notice any penalties either.  Thats the way I like it, an offensive line that I don't notice.

I thought he had one of those false starts in the 3 or 4 they had in a row in the 4th?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
