I really like watching LaMelo play and do wish the good guys on this team the best but, this team is super thin on “Effective NBA Player” talent.
It’s really LaMelo, Terry, and Mark Williams who would make a contenders rotation.
- BMill will probably be an effective NBA player but he’s going to have his rookie bumps,
- Bridges will miss games,
- and respectfully there’s a reason PJ didn’t get the contract he wanted.
- Everyone else is either old (Hayward) or very raw (Nick Smith, etc.).
Hornets likely don’t make the play-in. Not 100% the good guys fault but it’s likely out of their hands.
Rudy has spent alot of time with him, probably him at some point.
