I never expected someone as raw as him could become a good 3pt shooter over a single offseason. Gives me hope for Ausar and Ronald.

He could shoot in Europe.

What do you even do? He has to learn to shoot or just no shot at competing. Can’t pay players that much money that can’t shoot unless it’s giannis or shaq

We wait till Franz and Suggs come back and pray to god they never get injured again.

I swear he wasn’t this bad last season wtf is this regression. I thought he would make the leap into a winning player what’s with him

Aeronova20 | Magic

5 | 4 hours ago

something mental or physical is blocking him, he’s gotta work thru it but it’s very ugly

don’t think he can be this ass for this long. something’s gotta give, i’ve seen too much good in his career for this to be the norm.

Aeronova20 | Magic

not sure wtf paolo is doing out there lately, but games like this against apparently inferior teams are ones that real franchise guys make sure to win

but he looks uninterested and lethargic. not sure if it’s a him thing or a mosley issue, but it’s very concerning. i’m so tired. i miss franz.

It’s almost looking intentional at this point…

eelposse | Magic

28 | 5 hours ago

Hornets looked really good, hope Kon is back on the court soon and/or it wasn’t a bad ankle injury.

Imagine if Kon kept playing, it might’ve been a 30pt blowout

True but look at who played in this game for us last February because of injuries to Brandon, Lamelo, Grant Williams, Mark Williams, Tre Mann, Josh Okogie and Moussa Diabate.

We really have had unbelievably bad injury luck imo it’s at least on par with the Niners

I feel like Banchero hasn’t improved in the last ²⁄₃ years. His contract may age very badly… Such a mediocre player.

If only he could shoot and defend he’d be amazing

too bad those are both really important things

iMaticz7 | Brazil

He can’t do anything on a elite level. He is average (at best) in every facet of the game.

Supreme_God_Bunny | Hornets

He’s a career 37 3 pt shooter on 7 attempt’s he can shoot he’s having a very bad shooting year

Where are you seeing that? He’s a career 31% 3pt shooter. Unless you meant Bane?

Brandon, He only played 27 games, He just got the cast off right before training camp so he’s still fresh off not using his shooting hand for a long time

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

13 | 5 hours ago

Tidjane Salaun actually having a very solid sophomore year.

He has improved in literally every single aspect of the game. He’s been a solid rotation player this year. He hasn’t been doing anything too crazy, but the improvement has been massive.

I really hope that Kon’s injury isn’t too bad. Of course I want see him play, but secondary to that the Hornets have been playing really good basketball lately and have a genuine shot at making the play-in, but to do that they need Kon.

lampshader39 | Hornets

I’m so happy to see Tidjane evolve into a real NBA player. While he still has lapses with the ball, I am pleased with his off ball work rate and positioning. Great screen setter and constantly crashes the board. Hopefully his shooting is the real deal and not just a hot streak. Defense needs work but seeing him make the right play more often then not is a great improvement.

I couldn’t watch this game. Did Pat C. Miss one of his free throws? They changed the scores from 121 to 120 when time expired on the app. I know it says he was 1-2, but it counted both for quite some time.

I love Lamelo, but goddamn I wish he’d slow it down sometimes. I realize he loves the fast pace, but sometimes he just gets sloppy.
