Hornets To Play In Las Vegas Summer League


Recommended Posts

The NBA has announced that the Las Vegas Summer League will feature 22 teams this year and for the second straight year the Bobcats, erm... Hornets will be participating in the Vegas Summer League. 

 

This year will be different as this is the first year that teams will compete for the Summer League Title. The Hornets have a very good chance at taking home that Championship as they went 4-1 last year in the Vegas Summer League and currently have the highest winning percentage of any team in the Vegas Summer League at .800%.

 

The ninth NBA Summer League in Las Vegas tips off on Friday, July 12, and will conclude with a championship game on Monday, July 22. All participating teams will play a minimum of five games. After the conclusion of games on July 16, all teams will have completed three games and will be seeded for single-elimination tournament play that will lead to a champion being crowned on July 22.

 

The Hornets roster will likely feature Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Jeff Taylor, and their 2013 rookie selection (as long as they don't trade it or the player isn't injured) and it could also feature Bismack Biyombo (if Ewing is the coach) and Jeff Adrien.

 

NBA TV will broadcast a full slate of the games.

    • What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)  
    • Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
