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

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
