Not a fan of this. Left San Antonio after working for them for over 10 years only to not succeed or land a head coaching spot anywhere. Went back to San Antonio after the coaching staffs in New Orleans and Orlando flamed out.

Let's be honest, here.  This isn't a very desirable job.  We have to take what we can get and hope for the best.

I get what you're saying in terms of us being a small market and some of those factors that brings with it. But as far as coaching vacancies go, you could do a lot worse. We have talent. Plus look how long Clifford stuck around while consistently missing the playoffs in an historically awful eastern conference.

Valid points.  My main concern is MJ - a clueless owner who loves to meddle in operations and hasn't made winning a priority.

They say he's a strong defensive minded coach. I could care less about that. This coach NEEDS to be adept with player development which Clifford was terrible at. Whether we trade Kemba or not, we will be cap tied for another season or two so in order for us to be competitive in the East, we have to develop and rely on our young assets. That's Monk, Bacon, Hernangomez and the 11th pick in this year's draft. If Borrego can develop those guys and the young assets that come after them, then the Hornets will begin to trend upwards in being successful.

Not really sure how I feel about this move. I will trust Mitch and hope for the best. A defensive minded coach seems to be a clone of Clifford. Defense is not the most important part in the NBA, it is putting the ball in the basket. That is what kills us every year. We need to shoot better.

There is no way he will play rookies less than Clifford. It can’t be done.

When Donovan Mitchell went nuts for the Jazz, I just laughed at people that said we should've Drafted him. Why? So he can sit on the bench and be useless? LOL.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
