To Borrego’s defense though.  He has no control in personnel moves like Rhule.  And the Hornet’s big men=Panthers OL/QB situation.   Only so much you can do to coach up a pile of poo.

Dude the hornets roster is straight. Good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably in the East.

They have the worst big man situations in basketball.  There are plenty of college big men right now who would straight work Plumlee.

If the roster was good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably, the Hornets wouldn't have gotten blown out by the Hawks in the play in game.

The lack of a starting caliber NBA center that can play a little defense and rebound is a huge problem. The defensive scheme and lack of defensive effort are two other huge problems. Finally, the Hornets have too many streaky players on the roster.

Hayward and Rozier are being paid like they are those consistent go to scorers or players, and neither one of them are that guy. Bridges isn't there yet despite the leaps he has taken the last couple years. Ball isn't there either. Oubre is a newer version of Bobcats era Ben Gordon. Martin is a role player and glue guy that brings some energy and hustle off the pine. Washington is inconsistent and doesn't give good effort most nights. McDaniels is meh. Harrell is another glue and hustle guy. IT was a desperation move and no where as good as he once was. Richards and Plumlee are meh too.

Jones, Bouknight, and Thor could barely crack the lineup and it's way too soon to say what they'll be as pros.

I don't follow the NBA anymore but Matt Rhule and Phil Jackson might still be the worst 1-2 combo. 😂

Don’t know when you stopped following the NBA but Phil Jackson has 13 rings…and never coached the Hornets…so not following the logic at all

Agree for the most part. Hornets did not play any of their rookies for experience this year just to finish as a 10th seed and get beat by 30 points in a play in game. All this just to finish 4 games over .500. What is the real gain? THERE IS NONE.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
