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.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
