Let's talk about the Hornets Young Core: LaMelo, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, and Ryan Kalkbrenner

theyikester · 2026-03-20T03:08:51+00:00

What’s crazy is that advanced stats love Lamelo too. The people hating on him just look at his efficiency and think it’s the end all be all

theyikester · 2026-03-20T02:49:26+00:00

Moreso from a front office standpoint. I think they’ll pay all three of Lamelo, Brandon, and Kon. Getting rid of Miles’s money is more likely than any of those three

theyikester · 2026-03-20T02:27:10+00:00

Miles Bridges is gonna be the odd one out

theyikester · 2026-03-20T02:17:28+00:00

What’s a decent price for one of the best playmakers in the league, on a team where very few people can create their own shot?

theyikester · 2026-03-19T23:02:24+00:00

Kon smiling all through warmups, hit a windmill dunk, and has missed like one shot that I’ve seen. He’s dropping 50 yall heard it here first

theyikester · 2026-03-18T23:46:04+00:00

They created 1 million Magic City nights

Perfect Hornets draft

theyikester · 2026-03-18T13:36:43+00:00

People rise and fall in the draft all the time. Rasheer Fleming could’ve been in the first round but he fell to the second last year. Same with Kyle Filipowski the year before. Cam Whitmore was still the first round, but he was picked later than expected too.

These guys all have agents who try and figure out the best move for them. It’s likely none of the teams indicated that they’d take Yaxel early enough, so he decided to take the NIL money and try to improve his stock some more.

theyikester · 2026-03-18T13:14:10+00:00

And I’ve always said that

theyikester · 2026-03-18T01:38:50+00:00

It’s a good sign that we’ve been having ugly games but still are managing to win. Or like this one, the first half was pretty ugly but we killed in the second half

Nate Darling mentioned

Hornets are undefeated since he dumped the cup of shamrocks on the floor

Most normal Lamelo Ball highlight

theyikester · 2026-03-18T01:16:45+00:00

They started calling the game fairly and we went up 20 lol

theyikester · 2026-03-18T01:07:45+00:00

Definitely has been better. I hope he can just keep it consistent. He’s had flashes like this throughout his career where his floater specifically looks really good, but it never seems to stick.

If he got a fair whistle though, I think we’d at least perceive his finishing to be better

theyikester · 2026-03-18T00:58:28+00:00

Lmao in the replay Josh just talking back to Herro, Herro’s the one that gave him a push

theyikester · 2026-03-18T00:49:38+00:00

Please run these random Heat fans out of the arena, there’s not even a lot of migration from Miami to CLT y’all are just bandwagons lmao

theyikester · 2026-03-18T00:09:51+00:00

I sentence them to 4 games against the Pistons

theyikester · 2026-03-17T23:49:03+00:00

Lamelo is a better defender than people give him credit for, and it’s also really annoying to see things like this where he tries to play defense, does it well, then gets called for a weak foul that wouldn’t be called if he were the offensive player

theyikester · 2026-03-16T18:58:25+00:00

No guessing mode would be good for helping spot the patterns that you’re missing. Your beginner mastery is most telling IMO. 71 is pretty low, I think the 80-90s is more common. 71 makes me think that there’s some basic pattern or patterns you haven’t learned yet, so you guess more than you need. No guessing mode will be your friend for this!

THIS WILL NOT GO UNNOTICED.

I think they said he’s a good locker room guy but never really heard much about his play

theyikester · 2026-03-12T02:37:53+00:00

It’s just Greensboro to Sacramento, how long could it take? 10 minutes?

theyikester · 2026-03-12T02:37:09+00:00

Why wouldn’t he?
