2023 Charlotte Hornets Summer League

[Shocker]

Good to be able to see the Hornets play on TV for change.  Not much defense going on here

Bouknight looking like he belongs here meaning fringe as hell

Another lackluster start for Miller. 4 Fouls and 3 TOs in the 1st quarter and no points. I'm sure he will pad the box score when the game is out of hand though. 

Pad the box score in a summer league game? Lol. These guys are playing for spots they don’t care what the score is or what quarter it is.

Bailey looking good, smooth

Don't forget that was in seven minutes or less of play time too.

Weak foul called against Kai Jones

Kai can play defense

Nice pass by Miller

How about the assist?

 

He has 1 shot attempt. Stop looking at the box score MillerHater.

Just a realist. Miller should be a Summer League MVP candidate with his advertised pedigree. Amari Bailey is outplaying him through the first two games.

First impressions are important and so far Miller has been a dud. Hopefully it changes.

Bailey has a legit chance to make the big boy roster. I thought he was a meme pick because of his mom. Looks like MJ will have to move that condo out of town. Bailey will be in Charlotte for the long run.

Feels like Kup is much better at 2nd rounders.  Weird.  It is super early man but Miller playing very tentatively which was a serious worry of mine.  He is very passive as a player for long stretches

From what I've watched so far and the last game, Miller is playing point while everyone else wants to take whack shots.  No one on this team wants to play team basketball.  I like what I'm seeing from Njanni though.

Miller reminds me more of Tobias Harris than the Paul George claims.  It's still extremely early, but he's passive and doesn't create for himself well so far.  LaMelo is gonna have to set him up a lot.  It's a game and a half so I won't panic yet, but definitely apprehensive a little so far.

Bouk is trash im sorry but he is useless.

 

Nick Smith is a smooth player but he needs to get under control.  It’s like he has never seen a defensive drill in practice too.

If Bouk can’t hit any shots he is not going to make it.  He isn’t good at anything else

Kai Jones has incredible athleticism but his basketball IQ is like zero.  Wild

Miller got schooled in the post

I can't stand watching a bunch of ball hogs throwing up shots.
