Truth. Even with the Hornets every 4th or 5th game poo game….they are still trending upward. Get us a legit big man, and we are in there consistently. Speaking of which…do the Hornets have Plumlee past this season? Not sure. If Mark Williams is there in the second round, do we take him? Great size and will battle on the boards and has a nice shot. Pair him with Trez and Kai, and I would think we would have a nice front court. Just not sure where he is projected. Tired of watching Plumlee get blocked and acting too scared to bring it back up to the basket. 

Sportrac says the Hornets have Plumlee for another season.

Chet holmgren can get the fug on outta here. Laugh out loud to anyone drafting him (and yes I know he's a lottery pick for some reason)

Holmgren will be fine… he’s a healthier Porzingis and an elite shot blocker. He probably won’t be a cornerstone piece of a roster but he could easily put up Porzingis numbers.

I don't see it at all. 7'1 scrawny, slow. Can't see him scoring or defending in the NBA at all, let alone being a top 5 pick

LOL. He's going to be good. This is just not a good take. 

The NBA is a shell of what it once was. He's going to be defending 6'9 and 6'7 Centers. I think he'll be just fine.

I don’t think he’s particularly slow. I think he’s a typical stretch four. It’s hard to justify taking a stretch four early because for every KD there are hundreds of average players like P.J. Washington.

I can see why some might be hesitant to take Holmgren this year because this could be a very good draft: Smith, Banchero, Ivey, Davis, Agbaji, Murray and going down even further you have guys like Williams, Hardy, Baldwin, Wesley, Keels, Houston, Chandler… strong draft imo.

Everyone can have their own opinion.  My is he will never average more than 4 pts a game in the NBA. But to be fair I didn't think stephs game would translate to the NBA.  I still think I was right about that though.  His talent just happened to transcend and change the whole damn league.

4 points per game? In an NBA where defense is optional and half the Centers are 6'9 or shorter? Wow.

What's everyones prediction for tomorrow? I think we go into Atlanta and get a win and then lose the next series.  John Collins is out and Heyward, i'll be honest the team doesnt even need him anymore. 

I think we beat Atlanta and then we will see who we play.  I don't like playing kyrie and Durant at all but I think they're a better match-up

      Monday practice tweets

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
