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

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
