Hornets at Pistons Thread

OK, I want to get into the NBA again after a long hiatus. 

 

Hornets at Pistons

 

Gimme the low down on the state of the Hornets and what to watch for tonight.

I'm pretty excited to get this season going. 

Has it been confirmed that Bacon is starting the 2?

Nothing yet, but Clifford stated Lamb was starting a week or two ago.

Yeah that makes more sense. I was going off the last (or second to last) preseason game, but yeah it should be Lamb.

Lamb's okay, decent midrange shooter, meh 3 point shooter.  Great rebounder for a Guard.  We'll see if his Defense has gotten any better.  Supposedly, according to Cliff it has.

Agreed. He seems to have always been pretty inconsistent too. But I would rather him start than a rookie - at least at the beginning of the season. I am excited for what Monk and Bacon bring to the table though. Best Hornets draft/offseason in a LONG time...maybe ever.

Easily, especially since the 90's when we finally got the first pick in the Draft and picked Zo.

I'm hoping they move on from MKG next year, or he actually becomes some kind of threat on Offense.

Pretty decent looking squad imo. It is a shame that the Hornets spent the previous two drafts on guys that don't start. No? 

[rhyslloyd]

I think what could set this team apart is the depth especially when Batum gets back.  Zeller, Kaminsky, Lamb, MCW, Monk and Bacon could all provide solid minutes.

Yes and no. It's kind of like what @rhyslloyd said, our second unit is pretty strong with guys who are fringe starters. If our second units can consistently win their minutes then the Hornets will be in most games.

MCW

Monk

Bacon

Frank

Zeller 

Thats not terrible.....
