It’s not so much the pick, although admittedly I didn’t like it - but, it’s more the history of our franchise.  I was salty about getting screwed in the lottery, and then it feels like it was a pick we just settled for.  But, just like with the Panthers’ picks, even if I don’t like it, I’m still gonna pull for them because our success depends on it.  But im also going to point out the good and the bad.

Eh just let Summer League play out. It's a developmental year anyway. I'm just happy to see this many young motivated players with legit promise. This roster absolutely needed it after such a rough end to the season last year.

Told everyone that Kalkbrenner was being penciled in as the starter at the 5. McNeely is going to end up ahead of Kon on the depth chart at the 2 before it's all said and done. If ya wanted shooting and offense at the 2, you needed to take Johnson and not Kon. He just doesn't fit in the NBA and I don't understand the draft rankings. I had Kon outside the top 10 around 15th or so.

If you end up with a starting center and a good back up 2 from the draft it's still a good class even if Kon is a bust. I agree and wanted Johnson or honestly if you knew you were getting the other 3 guys I would have taken Bailey and crossed my fingers. I just want a competive basketball team don't really care about misses in the draft as long as we are hitting on some guys. That said it's one game give the guy some time

I'm not saying he's a bust from that one game (even though I hated the pick) Kon is a backup SG that comes in and stands in the corner and occupies a defender at worst. 

I agree even if Kon is the above the team probably ends up with 

Kalkbrenner - starting center that needs to add strength to be most effective but has a good skill set. 

McNeeley - high upside shooter with good create ability that plays relentlessly. 

Kon - Another high upside shooter with less create ability and less motor. 

James - high upside 3&D guy 

 

That's not a bad draft at all considering they already had Ball and Miller who can drive and create.

Maybe part of the Hornets summer league training is making sure a guy has enough outfits to sit out 50-70% of a season. 

Having issues with a player coming back from an injury not playing back to back games is certainly an interesting stance…

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
