You give Kemba a A but lists Damian Lillard as a miss. You included players that were drafted in the 2nd round as players Charlotte missed (every team in the 1st round missed)

You would have really drafted the Greek freak with the 2nd pick at that time?

Didn't you have Vonleh as your avatar?

I'm going to start the NFL List

Tom Brady

Randy Moss

Richard Sherman

Aaron Rodgers

Etc.

Kemba was our best pick in the Bobcats/Hornets era. It is well known we suck at drafting BSPN makes fun of us a lot on NBA talk. Heck, even last year with drafting Frank over Winslow was questionable. It's still early for frank though. We have missed on a lot of picks. But we are competitive. Nail FA and a draft, we will be ok. Also, whatever happened to that poster "Thinkaboutit"

The winslow pick never made sense for the hornets. Charlotte signed MKG to a extension and traded for Nic. Winslow is a good defender but has a questionable jumpshot just like MKG.

Yeah good point, I'm just saying there were better players than Frank at that time. I do still think Frank will make a solid player.

Before they traded for Nic, I thought Devin Booker was going to be pick. After the trade It was the worst kept secret that the Hornets wanted Frank.

Do you think Frank is having a hard time adjusting to new three point line?  I can't figure it out.  He's been pretty atrocious from three outside of a couple games.  In college, you basically assumed it was going in when he put it up.  Now, well, it's the opposite.  At least he's funny.

I'm all for pointing our the front offices' short comings.. they need to be held in check and accountable - but when you cross over into the ridiculousness - you lose the credibility and people just wave you off as a cry baby and our FO's problems get swept under the rug.. 

I think i have been leading the "trade MKG wagon" but Listing MKG as an F is silly.. Zeller has become a much better player than I thought he would be.. PJ netted us Courtney Lee - without him, we dont make the playoffs.. Frank is still a question mark in my book - but from game 5 alone against the Heat in the playoffs last year at least gives him a C..

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
