Back to back years the Hornets make an unpopular pick and so far both are studs. At least something is going right in the QC.

If everyone stays healthy, “big if I know” the lineup of Ball, Miller, Salaun, Bridges, Williams can do some damage I think. 
 

the good thing about that lineup is that 2-4 can switch defensively with no problems. Helps cover Ball as well on the defensive side.

I like the new direction but Hornets’ ugly habit of squandering a big lead resurfaced again tonight. Good thing it’s preseason and I’m sure a learning opportunity for the young guys.

To be fair, unless it was a blowout or because of injuries most of those guys that played the second half wouldn't have played in the regular season.

A) the 4 point play that sent the game to overtime was complete BS

B) most of the guys on the court in the 4th quarter will be in the G League in a few weeks. 

C) Salaun looks really good.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
