Looking good today…Manek should find a spot IMO

Honestly it appears Kia needs more time.  Serious flashes but he needs to get a lot more fundamentally sound and execute plays with much more precision 

McGowens looks like another gem in the 2nd.   Smooth player

Williams is huge but needs time to get comfortable in the offense.  Needs to be more patient let things come to him

Hornets beat the Cavs 91-80

Hornets looked solid today, all around good performance by all the guys. What really helped was not playing three bigs together.

The Hornets two draft picks were the team leaders today:

Bryce McGowens - 24 points (70% FG, 83% 3P, 83% FT), 2 rebounds, 1 assist, +/-0

Mark Williams - 12 points (67% FG), 8 rebounds (2 off), 2 blocks, 2 steals, 1 assist, +4

Hahhaha look at my history buddy. Mark my words Duren will be a star. Look up Summer league first teams. He is the Center in every one. Again, just turned 18 youngest player in the draft and has been a star.

Duren isn't a miss, but Eason is.

I was begging the Hornets to not do anything stupid and just take Eason and Williams at 13 and 15, and we had a chance to do it, yet we traded away for nothing.

I'm officially on the fire Kupchak and clean house bandwagon after tonight. If we didn't get lucky and move up ONLY to 3rd (because we'd be dumb enough to take Wiseman 1 or 2 over Edwards and LaMelo), we'd have one of the worst futures in all of sports. 

I honestly think the RealGM Hornets board collective can and will have done a better job GM'ing the team than the two jabronis they have had over the last 12 years.

They both are huge misses. You guys are just hating on Duren now b/c you cant admit you are wrong. Duren is 18 and already has a nasty NBA body... will develop a shot and would DESTROY Williams with his strength and freaky athleticism. Williams moves wayyyy too slow out there to play against non summer league NBA guys. Looked terrible against freaking Shareef Oneal...

My whole point is.... If you think the Hornets are going to make the playoffs or made the right moves at the draft, I want what you are smoking. This team got worse and I would be shocked if Williams is anything but an 8th man rotation player at best throughout his entire career.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
