2023 Charlotte Hornets Summer League


Recommended Posts

NSJ is what Bouknight was supposed to be, an iso guy that can get you a bucket.

I don’t like Nick Smith bringing the ball up the floor or running the offense but I do like him as a combo guard that you can toss the ball to and tell him to go get you a bucket.

He kind of reminds me of Cam Thomas.

Running the point this summer is what's held him back I think. But yeah, that game may be the end of Bouk.

I don't care for Clifford but the young talent on this team is exciting enough to overcome his shortcomings if fully healthy. LaMelo, Miller, Bridges, PJ, Mark is a really really solid core to build around and develop. Hayward and Rozier should come off the bench and are very solid in that role if that's how we do it. We were 43-39 in 21-22 with a mostly healthy LaMelo and Bridges, now we're adding Miller and Mark which are huge additions. If Clifford can't make this roster a top 6 seed this year he's gotta go. But I do think the roster is good enough this year to be a locked in top 6 seed and playoff team in the East if healthy. Miles being suspended for 10 games not ideal but it's short enough we can manage.

A less talented version of this team won 43 games and was in 4th place before injuries derailed the season.

To be fair I like Borrego better than Clifford, not that Borrego was a great option either. fug that Warriors dude for reneging on our deal.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
