This is a pretty decent team

I know the East is a pretty poor conference but I gotta say, this season doesn't appear to be a fluky one for us.

 

  • Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson have really stepped up to make this a formidable squad. You can just see it in the way Kemba plays..he's really brought his game this year and Big Al is just a dominant force.  
  • The team has strong role players. Particularly in Hendo. A Good 6th man to have in a lineup.
  • And a very important point: I think we found a coach to have for a bit in Clifford

 

If they can just hit the mark on a draft for once, we could have a very solid Charlotte Hornets next season with 4-5 seed potential.  There was a mini slide recently but our wins this past month or so have really given me confidence in this team.  I like what is forming and it's sweet to have good basketball back in the QC.   

 

My 2 cents.

There isn't an electrifying young star like Larry Johnson or Baron Davis, but this team is very fun to watch as a whole. Kemba is pretty exciting and is a very good player but I don't think he has the high ceiling those guys had. Big Al isn't flashy but he is a flat out monster. He is big time and elite. Other than LeBron & Durant there isn't any other player leaps & bounds better than Big Al. Clifford is a good coach and has them playing great team basketball.

I agree.  Detroit needs to just keep losing and we can definitely get someone good in the draft.

I too like where this team is headed.  If all things continue trending the way they have been, the official "Bobcats" may get a playoff victory or two before the name is retired into NBA history forever.  I have often wondered how long it will take for the nation to forget there ever was a Bobcats.  Looking back, it will be like the Hornets started here in the 80's and never left. lol

Kemba and Big Al are 2 players we can build around for sure. I'm excited about the Charlotte Hornets 2.0 !!

 

Sign Heyward and if the Pistons pick is #9 and we get the rights to it we can draft a very solid player or even use our other pick to trade up for one of the top picks.

 

Just feel this team's in a lot better shape now than a year ago, I have faith Cho and Co. know how to put together a winning program.

 

Hell, even Cody Zeller has turned a corner and could end up being a very reliable player.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
