I like him on a personal level and I know he's very raw but when someone like Knecht is contributing on a meaningful level right away it is infuriating watching this team slog their way to 60 points at home. This was a comically low scoring game until the fourth quarter and that's with LaMelo dropping 44 points after dropping 50 within the last week.

So far I am not much impressed with the new front office.

And enough with this Mark Williams foolishness. Get that man on the court or put him on the block.

You're not wrong. As I said, the Frenchie was a luxury pick by a team that needed a more polished player. Hopefully the gamble works out in the long run.

Not extending Mann in the offseason was probably another mistake by the FO. He's going to be a lot more expensive to retain if he keeps playing like he was prior to getting injured when he comes back. They also need to trade Micic or cut him as he doesn't want to be here at all.

I agree about Williams too. He needs to be on the court or off the team.

Wonder what this team would look like with Dalton Knecht instead of an obvious project.  Still a little salty we passed on him

This.

I think Saluan will work out in the long run. He's very young but plays hard and obviously has talent. He's not even 1/4 of the way through his rookie season. Too soon to call him a bust. I was very unhappy with the pick but I'm going to be optimistic

Not a bust at all agreed.  They probably avoided Knecht because of defense which he flat didn’t play at all at Tenn…but he scores the ball like a mad man.  I thought he would help us more now.

The Heat can't miss and the Hornets can't buy a basket

Five pts by the French rookie so far

[jayboogieman]

Make that 7

[jayboogieman]

Micic is in.

[jayboogieman]

Micic is scoring! He has 6 so far

[jayboogieman]

This has been a sloppy one

Well I'm glad to see Salaun is out there getting some buckets with Brandon and LaMelo.

With a legit center this game is much closer.

This has been the worst offensive basketball I've seen this season. It's like watching two bad division 2 schools go at it.

Awful awful choke job at the end there.

Cody Martin can eat poo.
