Time to bring Mark Williams up from Greensboro..

[WOW!!]

Last 2 games for the Swarm double double 20+ points and multiple blocks..

He should have been getting playing time for the Hornets the entire season. Plumlee should be riding the pine while Richards and Williams played. Sadly, Cliff would never do that. He's got to have his vets.

[MillionDollarCam]

Seasons already over so no reason not to play him.

It's something that should happen so with the way the Hornets do things that means it won't. But apparently Clifford was the only one willing to take this gig so we are left reliving this song again.

This.  And it's also why, in addition to bringing Clifford's sorry ass back, the Miles debacle, and then punting our 13th overall pick to Detroit for nothing and then sitting on our hands the rest of the offseason, I have barely watched a game this year.  I usually go into every season optimistic, but man, I knew we were gonna suck and this poo is typical Steve Clifford bullshit.

Yep. I've watched some, but my interest is at an all time low since I started watching the NBA again when the team was the Bobcats.

Completely agree. We really should embrace the tank this year and give the young guys playing time. Trade Rozier, Hayward and Plumlee and give McD, Kai, Williams, Richards, Bouk, etc. bigger minutes to see what we have in them and develop them. Might as well get in the mix for Wembanyama and with a chance Miles comes back next year at a bit of a discount we could have a really good core of LaMelo, Miles, Wemby + other nice young pieces in places with a bunch of cap space.

If there is a year to play all the young guys and tank, it’s this year. The 2023 class is shaping up to be one of the best that we’ve seen in quite some time.

Agree on bringing the youngins up but note that bigs tend to dominate the g-league. I’m old enough to remember everyone on JB’s ass because Vernon Carey looked like Zion on the Swarm.

Hornets will get fugged in the lottery just watch. Clifford will be coach for 5 or so more years, Melo will leave, and this franchise will continue to tread water in below mediocrity. Haven’t watched a game and not going to. Bringing in Clifford was the nail in the coffin. 

[Shocker]

We all knew Clifford wasn’t going to play him.  I don’t understand the Hornets.  

[Wundrbread33]

You’d think a defensive coach would love Williams and his length. Also you’d think Richards would be getting 30+ min a game. 
 

Clifford is so frustrating man. 
 

Plumlee isn’t even as bad as everyone thinks, he just shouldn’t be a starting center. 
 

And how the hell are our lottery picks going to learn the NBA game if they aren’t allowed to play in NBA games. 
 

Meanwhile we routinely get torched by rookies on other teams that actually get burn. 
 

We have to see what we have in the young guys, especially with our best players hurt.

Williams has an ankle sprain, add it to the list of ankle sprains involving athletes of professional sports teams in Charlotte.
