Lamelo Ball wins ROTY?

In here to celebrate and eat crow.. I wanted Wiseman badly during the draft process and though Lamelo was a "me first", bad shot selector and always looking for the SportsCenter highlight pass when playing in Aussie..

How wrong I was.. the way he plays is so fun and you can see the team around him get juiced when he is on the floor.. he looks to get his guys involved 1st, he is much better at driving and finishing than I ever thought, he was actually more reluctant to shoot but when he does - his 3pt shot is now respectable.. I hope he continues to improve and get stronger, and improve his 3pt %.. I wish we had a CP3 type guy to mentor him along and develop his "floor general" mentality.. but anyways..

 

Today is a Day to Celebrate!!!

It’s not really about giving him the money he want. They’ll be plenty of big market teams after him.

After Stephen Curry and the current reach of the internet socially AND the exponential growth of Charlotte, the city, the "big market" doesn't matter to today's player.

Miles Bridges and Lamelo Ball are huge names in today's NBA, they aren't suffering from a lack nationwide fame. So if your no longer locked out because you're a "Charlotte Hornet" instead of a "Knick or Bull" and you're getting your $ and you love your team why leave?

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
