I know we can't change it anyways but I was super excited when we offered a max to GH. I

knew his game and thought it played in perfect.

PPG RPG APG

19.2 6.6 5.6

That stat like looks pretty damn nice

I'm not gonna say I'm against lance but up to this point he's really disappointed not only me but the fanbase. Atleast scoring wise.

PPG RPG APG

6.6 10.0 5.6

Now those assists and rebound numbers are pretty damn great for a sg but those ppg are not cool.

So would Gordon Hayward fit this team better. Would we be better off. I'm Not ready to say we are. But I wished we coulda got Hayward. But I think lance can start scoring more we will be pretty great. But what's your thoughts

They both fit fine. Lance has never played with a big guy like Al or a guard like Kemba, so we have 3 guys who need to touch the ball to be effective so it will take some time for them to sort out the best way to play off each other. I like Hayward but I love Lance's relentless approach to the game. Lance is not & may never be a 20 plus scorer .

watching the game, lance is having a large impact regardless of his turnovers and poor shooting, which will improve once he gets used to the system and his new teammates.

 

he is going hard on the defensive side and provides an energy this team needs. could you say the same about hayward? i was under the impression he is offensive minded. the hornets need to stay with their defensive strength imo. we can stretch the floor with out PG and bench SG play.

I like Lance a lot. He is just trying to figure out how to fit in this offense and sometimes he tries to do a bit too much.

As long as he doesn't pout when he makes a mistake or doesn't get a call on offense I have no problems with how he is playing.

His efficiency will go up, he just has to figure it out

IMO we tried to sign Hayward to such a large contract bc we knew he would fit in very well with his outside shooting. So far this season, albeit a small sample size, Lance has not shown his outside touch. I feel like he does good driving but his outside shot is not been on target yet. 

 

Now I am happy with Lance and think he will continue to improve as the season goes along. I also believe we would have had growing pains with Hayward but overall to answer the question I still would have preferred Hayward but Im still very happy with Lance and he does have a larger upside.

QUIT!!!!!

Just fuggn QUIT!

I knew this was going to be brought up today. QUIT!

Literally the only one that added nothing. Just non sense.

It's something to talk about. And considering he was our first choice it is nice to discuss. Bc personal I was super pumped to have a chance at both.

And yes Hayward hit a game winning shot. That's not why I made this. But it did remind me we could have had him.

So instead of discounting everyone and Kemba. Why don't u get off your high horse and try to be slightly tolerable. K thanks

We might be able to have Curry in a couple years too.

Both have similar skills as far as ability to run the offense but Hayward would spread the floor more & open things up for Al & Kemba while Lance strength is his ability to get into the paint & create shots for his teamates. Neal,Roberts,Hairston,Zeller & Williams can stretch the floor.

It's five games.

Hayward looks good right now but that contract is going to hurt Utah in the long run. At the end of the day that core they are giving extensions to probably won't make the playoffs in the really good West, and I don't know if Haywards potential ceiling justifies that deal.

They are two different players and even though he hasn't found his shot yet Lance is still bringing alot to the table, a la MKG before this year. The financial flexibility the Hornets still have going forward IMO is so much better now.

Remember, you have to consider it's not just about Hayward vs. Stephenson. It's about Hayward vs. Stephenson with Hayward at almost twice the contract Stephenson has.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
