He's like Derrick Brown strength at left tackle, we got a good one. Was so happy about that draft pick when it happened. 

I had the same thought, he loves to run along for the ride....for now on its something Im going to looking for. Most OLmen are about to red-line after 3 seconds, Not Ickey hes got a young mans 300 gallon diesel tank!!

One thing these LBs hate is getting the "tossed out the club" treatment.....film studies are brutal....

Icky was straight up awful the first couple of games and has flipped the switch. Honestly was worried we’d have to move him to guard.

Why?? youre a old school poster and should known hes a green rookie. Honestly this stuff is starting to piss me off, its taking some rookies 3 years before they find their barrings. You should know this. Why are the expectations for him so insanely high?? Panther got a recent example of this tossing fools around on the DL and others in history as well...

Because he was the #6 pick of the draft and we knew he had issues in pass pro. His strength is run blocking. And he was fuging awful. Like not just rookie green bad.  I never said icky needs to be moved to gaurd permanently but that it might be best for him to move to guard for the year and then try again at LT next year.

I'm not even kidding, I actually shed a little tear watching those highlights. It just hits deep because we all had to sit through the days of Byron Bell, Matt Khalil, Remmers, Chris Clark, and Erving 😰 WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LEGIT O-LINE AFTER ASKING FOR IT FOR NEARLY A DECADE!!!!!!

    • After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.
    • The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.
    • I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
