Lamb is still incredibly young, I don't understand this at all.  Lamb showed flashes last year.  Maybe his work ethic sucks or something.  

In fairness this is year 5 for him, and it's really his last shot to be anything more than a bench scrub imo. He needs to step up and really play well this year if he wants to hang around, regardless if it's here or somewhere else.

i think it's lack of motivation or something, which is weird. i remember hearing he was in the gym shooting all the time, but also that he has missed practices and was benched by clifford.

sounds like the talent is there but he isn't fully unlocking it.

Probably end up with a future second rounder for sticking someone with the pick and hawes. 

For all the people wanting those draft picks they are not worth much this year , the 12th pick netted Utah George Hill and the Celtics cant get anyone to even sniff at the 3rd overall. 

Hopefully we can dump the pick and resign our own and have enough money to squeeze in one of the bigs on the market.

If I were a betting man, I'm going to guess that we end up drafting at pick 22. I imagine Cho would want a pick in the 2nd round of this draft as part of the return on the deal and not sure he'll get that in exchange for taking on salaries

I stated before, if we stick with the 22nd pick, draft Papagiannis from Europe.  He has a 500,000 buyout from his European team, and if the Hornets want him to stay over there let him stay over there.  Until we're hurting for another player.  

We do have 8 free agents that may or may not come back so we have roster slots to fill. I doubt we stash an international, but who knows.

He just turned 18 years old, that's my thing.  They're trying to free cap room, so keeping him overseas would be what the Hornets would want to do.

Miscommunication is plentiful in Hornetland. Lamb goes off for 20 one night after signing that albatross of a contract, then gets literally no PT after the ASB. 

After witnessing Biyombo literally make history in the playoffs and give Toronto life against Cavs I'm starting to think Cho-Cliff-Mj are not on the same wavelengths.

Which has always been this franchise's problem.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.

      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

      By Ghostofdelhomme · Posted

      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.
