Just FYI, Jalen Duren put up a double double with Detroit tonight. We drafted this dude and shipped him away at the center position but drafted Mark Williams to sit on the bench? Why does the Hornets front office always suck no matter who takes over? 

 

Duren was really good tonight. I actually preferred Williams but Duren looks like he could be the real deal.

The Hornets are the type of franchise that would get the #1 pick and trade Wembanyama for the #4 pick and 5 second round picks.

They overthink a lot of things and ultimately end up picking the wrong player between the two that they were picking from… Monk over Mitchell is obviously the big one.

This team may be OK. Guys like Oubre and Hayward are picking up the slack. Richards is becoming a legit starter, Cliff loves him and that pick may turn out to be gold. I dare to say Richards ceiling is higher than PJs. 

I'm over here giggling over how Nick has worked his way into starting center form. I don't think this is hyperbole, I think with Richards playing like he did tonight and Melo coming back, Terry, Oubre, Gordon scoring, PJ and Richards defending playing like they were, playoffs are more than possible.

First game shows the difference a more experienced coaching staff makes.

Could it all finally be coming together. Don't wake me!

What was the reasoning for trading Jalen Duren? Coulda dumped Plumlee and had a Duren/Richards rotation

I think they never planned to keep both picks and we're determined to get "something" in return.

I may sound like an idiot in a month but seeing Richards today, playing ball effortlessly, beasting. If that's the real Nick Richards I'm not mad at the Duren trade.

We've been missing an above average center since Al Jefferson.

Reason never came into it…one of the most ridiculous trades in NBA draft history. Honestly we need a new GM.  That was the dumbest move I have ever seen

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Everyone is seeing it now, but nobody wanted to listen to me when I was saying all these things for well over a year leading into this draft.  And it's not that it's sneaky speed, it's like I said, he's not a quick twitch guy that has super burst off the line, but once he gets going with those long strides, he really gets moving.  Everyone was so sacred about potential 40 times, he was never going to be that kind of guy to have a crazy fast time, but he has more than enough speed to be an elite WR in this league given everything else he brings to the table. Which is why using him on the underneath stuff isn't a bad strategy, he excelled on those in college since he's catching it in full stride and was good at getting YAC on those routes.  The problem is Canales' play design and calling, the great coaches run certain plays to set up later plays that get that player running wide open across the middle just 7 yards downfield, but with acres of space and at full stride, and Canales just doesn't have that in him. But also yes, we need to be throwing more jump balls to him when there's no safety help on the outside, it seems like Canales won't let Bryce check to it for some reason, as he never does. Yep, I saw AJ in him from the second he stepped foot onto the field as a Freshman, to me the closest direct comp. But in the pre-draft process I saw someone say he's a combo of Plaxico and V-Jax and I couldn't help but feel that was scary accurate.
