if they healthy we easily a top 7 team but melo always hurt and williams too and i don’t think williams will ever be able to stay healthy melo could tho
Did he tell him we really need another big and it’s a lot of talented big men in the draft, I think Zach edey or kel’el ware matches our game play better
Knecht would be a good fit in Charlotte. Him and Miller would be giving out BUCKETS years to come. After watching him in the tournament this year, I think his game translates to the NBA one of the best out of anyone in this draft class
LaMelo needs ankle braces. The Hornets need to go to the top ankle specialist in the world, with LaMelo in tow, and get him the best ankle braces available. Then do the same with back doctors for Mark. If those 2 stay healthy, then that core 4 is going to the playoffs.
@@theburneraccount7385 at everything besides passing duh I said miller could be better by year 3💀 he actually cared about winning melo don’t even play enough games to use his stats as a argument injury prone
As a hornets fan, I really want us to be good cause the game I went to for the bucks was alright but we lost by like 11 or 20 cant really remember but it was bad. Also since this year Leaky was a rookie hopefully he’ll get more experience and end up really good!( also for the draft if we could get Harrison Ingram that would be awesome! 2 UNC players would be great!)
I don’t know if we should consider Williams part of the core. I think he’s projected to be a back up center at best they can get an upgrade. I want them to draft Cody Williams or Castle …. maybe even Donovan because be honest I don’t think Mark will ever really be that good.
They're doing really good when Mark Williams is healthy and why you don't want a 20-20 threat young center 🤦 he can defend perimeter against fast guard unlike Gobert, Mark is like Bam with Embiid body frame.
Miles Bridges absolutely SHOULD NOT be playing the 4 next season. If he is, that is a failed offseason as far as I’m concerned. I’m tired of seeing a 6’7 PF out there. If you draft Knecht or any other wing player, then Bridges needs to go. You only keep Bridges if you trade down and pick Kel’el Ware to play PF next to Mark Williams.
Man fuck a tony Parker, I want another Jeremy Lin! That was really our last good back up point guard, we just need a guy who can play make, run a pick and roll, score 15-16 points, and we’ll be good. I don’t wanna draft a point guard tho, we need a starter at the 2, or have Brandon miller run the 2 and draft a 3. This is hindsight obviously, but I heard rumors of us trading up to 3, maybe we’ll take Sheppard at 3.
As a pistons fan id be pissed if Charlotte is good after getting the coach that was supposed to be in Detroit last year had it not been for our meddling owner that overrode our GM and threw all that money at monty Williams
Use Bertans contract, this year's 1st and the 2 1st we got from Dallas and Miami to Utah for Lauri. Rather we keep Milies or sign n trade him for bench depth is up in the air. Ainge loves picks and I think a lineup of either Melo Miller Bridges Lauri Williams or Melo Miller G Williams Lauri Mark is easily a top 4 east team when healthy.
Hi, excellent video! I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan and the truth is that I would like the starting point guard should be Nick Smith jr.... I like him a lot, I also think he is a steal of the draft, I hope they give him a chance!!!! I'm so glad they got Clifford and Borrego out, two coaches that don't value or have vision for young up and comers. I hope Lee gives opportunities to the younger and with future, for me Nick Smith jr is one that could be the point guard of the future of Hornets!!!! Now if you ask me what I pick in the 6th of the draft: I like Ja'Kobe Walter!!!!! He is far away, but for having been on a team that didn't win!!!! Too bad it's so hard for the Hornets to see him!!!!
Charlotte Hornets is the franchise with the least attraction for the players... Nobody wants to play in that city!!! If they don't move to Las Vegas, they will never be able to do much.... Why do I say this, because Lamelo Ball is a mega star that if I arrange to stay with the Hornets!!!! Same as Bridges (I think) that's why it's not so easy once you pick in the draft, many wait to go to another franchise more showy!!!!! The NBA should do something about that, example give more millions of dollars to those franchises so they can give a plus to the players and they want to be part of it!!!!! PS: That's my humble opinion!!! And I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan!!!!

@@goblack6770millers gives plenty effort on d and if he gets stronger this offseason I think he’ll be a good defender. Plus a guy like grant williams inspires the others to play harder on d.

@@chieflancewaiters Their stats are what they are…Miller is a poor defender. There is no category for effort. I understand that this might be you favorite team, and “hope strings eternal”, unfortunately, as constructed this will be a losing team with a losing season. At best they make the playin tournament with a losing record.
I think the Hornets gotta consider drafting Bridges replacement. At 6 there might be forwards there and Bridges just shot under 50 from the field, 33 from 3 and hes not good defensively. Thats not even mentioning the off court issues or the 100mil contract your projecting. Depends how the draft falls but i think moving on from Bridges should definitely be on the table.
I wouldn’t mind getting a replacement but he was the number 1 option most of last year while have to play with ish smith and Cody Martin as the pg his stats aren’t accurate
I like knecht for the Charlotte, I think will be a perfect plug and play player, plays with lots of effort, one of the best shooter of the draft. Regarding defense, he goes t seem like a liability, defense is effort and he doesn’t need to carry the load in offence, here is an Extract from no ceilings nba - Again, defensive metrics aren’t perfect. No metrics are. Even if his numbers are indicative of the team’s success, he played a major part in that success. The defensive metrics are as follows: Spot Ups- 90th Percentile (Excellent) Pick and Roll Ball Handler- 74th Percentile (Very Good) Isolation- 65th Percentile (Very Good)
Are you sure about B Miler? Looks identical to Jeff Green drafted 7th by the Sonics of Seattle after getting KD 2nd in ‘07-‘08…I hope that’s not his ceiling. .but people thought KD and Green were the next best duo…green dropped 40 on numerous occasions those first couple years till Westbrook and Harden chased him outta town to the Celtics.
As a hornets fan it depends on mark William’s and balls heath if there healthy we could make the play in
I’m sayin
That’s all it boils down to honestly
Miles ball Williams and miller would be dangerous
if they healthy we easily a top 7 team but melo always hurt and williams too and i don’t think williams will ever be able to stay healthy melo could tho
I think Bertans won’t be retained we could use that cap space for a better player
Valid
Only reason he’d be brought back is as a trade piece
He’s a Hornet killer tho, if u can’t beat him join him 🤣 well u get what I’m saying

My thoughts exaxtly
Offensively he'd be a dream but his defense is worrying. They need someone who can help them defensively
No defense
Hornets need to draft someone who is a 2way player who takes this seriously
Cody Williams

Since 1992? Yeah ok
Right! Like, how long have you truly followed the league? ‘92? After ‘02 okay fine. Say since the 2000’s. 🤦🏾♂️
When MJ became GM
As a hornets fan this has been a fun past 4 years
matas buzelis or castle will do charlotte is building defense right now
Thoughts on the rumors of us taking on a ‘bad contract player’ probably spells the end of our time with bridges if true
If Chicago and atlanta blow everything up, and you draft a top forward, and lamelo stays healthy i would say a 9 or 10 seed is very feasible.
I don’t think Atlanta can blow it up that big
I wouldn't be against getting Clingan if he falls to us. I know we have Mark but are you going to trust that he stays fully healthy?
Love the video bro, culture is on the rise

Curious what you love about cody williams? I dont see him making a huge impact right away
Good video bro
Ownership recently released a statement about our core players. Miles was not mentioned. Food for thought.
Yes, only if lamelo has his foot replaced
I hope knecht gets drafted to Charlotte. Its probably my UT bias, but I still think he would be a great fit.
Ron Holland or Reed Sheppard
Sheppard right now. Holland has potential but very raw can easily be a bust
should trade JT THOR and BRYCE ino
Who tf taking Thor and Bryce off our hands?
Lamelo has to take shit serious and be a leader otherwise it’s cooked
FR
Hopfully lamelo can sort his ankles I think he needs ankle braces or something, just need to spend the off season getting used to them

@@3stepsgaming188 20-20 nah he not doing that …not a offense threat unless close to basket
Unfortunately this will be Melo's 5th year... Has only played a bit more than 2 full seasons though
i dont know but i think we sould tread lamelo and go much more with miller
I'm hoping the Hornets draft devin Carter let's All 🙏 they do
Might be is the right word. Might be same as always.

I mean what gives you the impression that he isn't? He played two seasons before breaking his ankle and trying to rush back 🤔

Take away the age Dalton is the first pick in the draft. I just don't like the idea of him turning 24 before the season even begins.
Fully healthy I think they can beat the pacers Cavs magic and heat in a playoff series
Idk if we that good lol
