Current Roster:

G - LaMelo Ball, Tre Mann (needs QO), K.J. Simpson (two-way), Vasilije Micic (buy-out candidate)

G - Collin Sexton, Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley, Nick Smith, DaQuan Jeffries (non-guaranteed), Damion Baugh (two-way)

F - Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Josh Okogie (non-guaranteed), Sion James

F - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun

C - Moussa Diabate (non-guaranteed), Ryan Kalkbrenner

Doubt Micic is on the roster, don’t see the Hornets keeping Jeffries either, Baugh’s two-way probably gets terminated, and I could see James being on a two-way.

That would leave the Hornets one roster spot to address the center position…

(2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way)

(4) G - Sexton, Knueppel, McNeeley, Smith

(3) F - Miller, Green, Okogie, James (two-way)

(3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

(2) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner

 

We could open one extra roster spot by waiving Okogie.

Ball, Miller and Bridges will take turns getting injured every other game or so.

I'd like to see better center depth but overall a great trade to say the least. Sexton also follows the clear value the FO is placing on culture. But he is on an expiring. Still gives us options going forward. I feel like there's another corresponding move or two in the future.

I'm actually excited to see this new group together. At least the team is trying.

Haha.  I remember my first Hornets season. 

Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

They used to own this town.

I wonder if things would've been any different if we hadn't gotten the Panthers so soon after.

This is a damn good deal. He can score buckets, shoot the ball from 3. 

 

Can back up Ball or play the 2 since Ball has size and the teams 1-4 gives defensive versatility. (Even if it's not good versatility, lol) 

Dunno if they start him or have him come off the bench as the first reserve behind Ball and Green/ Kon at the two.

 

Makes Green expendable for another trade though.

Not tendering Tre Mann a QO may change the way the Hornets feel about Sexton. Maybe they view him as LaMelo’s backup and plan on starting Kon with Green backing up Kon.

So we’re currently looking at:

G - Ball, Sexton, Simpson

G - Knueppel, Green, Smith, James

F - Miller, Williams, Okogie, McNeeley

F - Bridges, Salaun

C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
