Not sure I want Snyder if he's going to have the Hornets looking like the Jazz last night. 

I've been saying this tweet pretty much exactly for 2 years.  The player development really is a credit to the players themselves.  Coaches can help show them things, but they can't make them work or have a desire to become better/great.  Guys all around the league seek out coaches, mentors, and legends to help them in the offseason and they come back better with new skills...  you don't need a head coach for that.  You need a head coach to be able to strategize, scheme, and get a team to buy in to his culture and system.  I never really felt JB had any of that.  When vets who have played and won elsewhere who finally came to this roster say things like Kelly and Trez did, it tells you all you need to know...  JB skated for longer than he should have because the bulk of the roster was young and didn't know any better.

Time to get the right guy in here and compete.  This roster is too good to be barely making a play-in and then blown out of it for two straight years.

Thanks in large part to coaches like Matt Rhule and James Borrego.

Thats exactly what it is, and almost exclusively all it is (that and Tepper is a horrible owner).  

Our soonest hope for a winner we can believe in is the Hornets.  The roster is already built to win with some minor tweaks to put us in the Top 5 in the East next season.  The roster is good, Kupchack is killing it, and after some, early growing pains, MJ is showing himself to be a good owner - now we just need the right guy at coach, and we have plenty good candidates to choose from.

Yup when no one wants to block or rebound and you have JT Thor/Kai wasting away on the bench it made no sense to me. Isiah Thomas is cool but you just drafted Bouknight in the 1st and proceeded to bench him basically the whole year. No "development" in moves like these

      Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
