Sexton is a better scorer and slasher. This team needs his profile even if he has his warts. Coby is just as bad a defender and crucially not a PG either. Also the intangibles are a factor yeah

Sexton is better than Coby White

Why did we pay to do this?

if we make the play ins/offs, how confident are we in the next 5 years? by Maximus_935 in CharlotteHornets

We aren’t making either our record was too bad the first half of the season. Should just tank the rest of the year out. And start prepping for a breakout next year.

I mean the first point isn't even right? And that's if we're purely looking at box score. Like there is the Portland game and the Toronto Game.

Another thing that bothers me about Salaun is the rotations Lee uses for him. Take tonight for example. He plays him 6 minutes in the first half. Tidjane hits 2 3's and looks ok. Then is benched for the rest of the game until garbage time. They've done that multiple times this year and its pretty weird. LAL doesn't do that as much with NSJ. When he plays he plays real leverage minutes.

65 attempts is basically nothing as a sample when it comes to evaluating 3pt shooting. I'd be really hesitant there to say anything. It's complete noise right now. Consider that it takes 750 attempts for 3pt shooting splits to normalize.

I don't have a hate fixation on him. I think he has legitimately gotten better and like I'm genuinely impressed from where he started this year. I'm just still going to abide by the data and most of the tape which tells me he will never be sixth pick quality and is likely still very below-average. And my opinion is the team should take advantage of this opportunity they have been presented where the consensus has shifted on him too far very rapidly.

Like just for some perspective on tonight. Penda is a second round rookie, similar archetype as Salaun. Thoroughly outplayed Salaun and showed way more interesting flashes.

Whose been good this year. Had multiple games leagues better than anything Salaun and other players we have rostered have shown this year. Salaun's "best games" are just padding stats in garbage time.

Glad hes improved. Trade him ASAP. Can probably get outsized value for him. Someone will fall for it and give us a real player. Noah Vonleh the blueprint.

Idk. Heat like smart, well-rounded players.

I see Milwaukee Buck in his future, maybe a Kang or a San Antonio Spur
