What They Won't Tell You About LaMelo Ball

When I look at

what

the Charlotte Hornets have done since drafting Lamello Ball, I try to remind myself that it's only been a few years so as not to be too hard on them, but for some reason I still can't help but be a little harsh. Frustrated, don't get me wrong, to be fair,

they

've made some decent moves, but at the same time

they

've also made a lot of mediocre ones. This has led me to question the general direction this team is headed, obviously the Miles Bridges situation. it just doesn't help at all because everything was bad with Miles Bridges.

In fact, I'm interested to see

what

happens and if he has any future in the NBA, my initial assumption would be no, but nothing surprises me anymore now that it's so early. in mellow's career so when it comes to all these things I really don't want to panic but at the same time there are some things I really can't ignore. I mean how do you want me to feel when The Hornets GM is here calling Gordon Hayward the best Hornets player, if you don't believe me just look at this Mitch Cup quote when it comes to the Hornets.

I think we're a little ahead of schedule. What I would have imagined a year ago. I don't think we're drastically ahead of schedule or anything like that. We are still a young team. Unfortunately, our best player of the last two years missed a lot of time when I first read this. I was like wait how much time has Lamelo missed since he had a really bad injury that I missed or something and then I continued the quote and saw the part that said he was talking about Gordon Hayward, he said we're not really. "I'm going to move forward without Gordon, so it's important that he comes back and when he comes back, he gets back in the lineup and gets his feel and confidence back.

This reminds me of when Jeannie Buss called Russell Westbrook the best player on the Lakers, that's just it." It's not true that a player is as fun as Gordon Hayward has been throughout his career and with the Charlotte Hornets they call me wild, but for some reason I don't think he's better than the Lamelo Ball guys. In the comments below, let me know what you think. from this quote from Mitch also let me know what you think of the Charlotte Hornets and their future. Do you think it's too early to start worrying about the overall direction of this team?

Do you like what they've been able to do and, more importantly? Let me know what you think Mellow's stat line will look like next season because I'm seriously considering taking him to top 8 and fantasy basket

in the comments below, let me know if it's a bad pick. I think he's about to do it. Come on guys, this video we have a lot to discuss regarding the Charlotte Hornets and Lamello Ball, but before we continue, let's talk to our sponsor. I want to say a huge thank you to the Beard Club for sponsoring today's content. Beer Club. offers quality hardware and consumables that will help you get a thicker, fuller-looking beard.

One thing I love about Beard Club is their beard quiz. What this beard quiz does is truly extraordinary: it gives Beard Club all the information they need. To personally recommend a grooming kit that suits your needs, now the highlight of your grooming kit is the PT45 trimmer. This thing is powerful but stylish at the same time, it's also super rugged and battery life is crucial, just like our guy James Harden, who just so happens to be an investor in this company, we've all seen the beard of James Harden, we know this guy is not investing in a product that is not doing well.

Another great perk of going with Beard Club is that they have this amazing growth kit. This kit includes sprays to strengthen and moisturize your beard, hair oils that prepare the follicles for beard growth, and a Derma roller that rejuvenates dormant hair follicles because no matter what type of beard you have, Barba Club has the perfect kit. to meet your needs now, of course. I have a link for you, go to bearclub.com, slash The Coop and use the code decoup to get 20 off your first order. I want to thank Beard Club again for supporting our channel and our patches now before.

Moving on, I want to give a big shout out to Dennis Smith Jr and Liangelo Ball. It's always amazing when you see people who have been written off get rewarded for their work. Let's hope both guys can take advantage of their current situation. situation, anyone in the comments, one of the Dennis Smith Jr videos or the Liangelo Ball video, just let me know now that we've got it out of the way. Let's go back to the Hornets speech last offseason, the Charlotte Hornets with head coach James. Borrego and in return they would hire Steve Clifford now before we get over this hire.

Steve Clifford again is definitely a pick, a pick I'm interested to see can be a defensive mind at a higher level, he's not the worst hire in the world. for this franchise maybe at least calm down to block the defensive side of the

at least look guys. I'm just trying to find the positives here to get back to the layoffs. James Borrego's firing would surprise some people and others not so much. For my part, I wasn't too surprised because it really seemed like the team had reached its ceiling under him, although they were improving, losing in the tournament in consecutive years is really not a good idea.

Look, in fact, this team not only lost in the tournament in consecutive years, they were eliminated, the squad was not really good, so it's hard to get too upset about the losses, but at least you. I wish your games were at least competitive, it wasn't like these guys were facing the 95-96 Bulls or something, they were facing Trey Young and De Montes, who are both really good, but at the end of the day their rosters They weren't complete, although I will say that I think the Hawks were much better than their record showed anyway, that's beside the point, aside from the plan's future losses to the Pacers and Hawks, it was pretty clear that with Borrego he He had started to lose the locker room at some point or at least parts of it last season.

There was one instance where Book Knight could be seen confronting Borrego on the bench and then having to be removed from the scene. When I saw this, I immediately thought what. Could he have said that to make him so angry at Borrego there would also be passive-aggressive complaints about roles and then there was that whole Lamello thing where he just didn't like the way the team was operated at times and thinks it's an area ? Development for you is controlling the game, controlling the action in the fourth quarter, do you feel the same? I mean, do you think that's the next step for you?

No, I feel like I have to be there longer during the fourth quarter. Do you feel Me. I feel like I'm a little late. Now I feel like we could just let the team go and I'm gone. I feel like Borrego got stronger in some Dragon Ball Z type things every time he put in a young player. the doghouse or the bench someone who was having a good game when you coach players and you start losing the locker room that's not good now I don't want this video to seem like I'm outright hating Borrego because I really think he was a solid coach who accomplished some good things in Charlotte.

I know there will be some quiet fans who will disagree with me, but I just ask that you listen to me. Coach Borrego helped lead the Charlotte Hornets. to their highest offensive rating in history now the sad thing is that while they produced this simple and exciting offense that produced highlight after highlight, the defense often left a lot to be desired last season, the Charlotte Hornets would rank among the Bottom 10 in defensive rating, but of course, this wouldn't be the end of the world after all, this was an incredibly young team with questionable basketball IQ and, ultimately, a viable scouting list.

Every time I think about the Charlotte Hornets roster last year, I think about how valuable it is. A guy like Udonis Haslam would have been serious for them at times. I feel like this list could have used 10 of them by now, maybe you diners wouldn't exactly be the ideal vet for this team, but I'm sure you guys see where I am. As of now when I go back and review the Hornets roster from last season it is very clear to me that things could have been a lot worse and maybe Borrego wasn't that bad when I look at this roster I really don't see too many defensive players maybe that's why the Hornets opted to draft potential Lobster and defensive anchor Mark Williams this offseason nbadraft.net Compares them to guys like Eric Damier or Clint Capella, speaking of Clint, if he were available, I don't think he would be a bad target for the Hornets, they could get a guy like him or Miles Turner, who is currently on the block, and let Mark develop at his own pace.

I think guys like this could do a lot of good for the Hornet roster. In fact, Melo actually went on record and expressed his desire for a big who is capable of clogging up the paint and grabbing some boards, to quote Lamello. I feel like we are a big visitor that can clog up all the painting. Rebound, put the ball. in my hands and let me swing, that's how I feel and when we understand it, we will be honest personally. I've always felt the easiest solution to masking bad perimeter defenders is to get an anchor down low with a guy like This can change the way your entire defense operates if they couldn't figure out I really like Mark Williams for that reason alone and I mean, how could Mark Williams not like him?

This guy comes to the NBA with a range of 99, which is literally two. inches taller than Rudy, wow Bears, look, I know this standing reach isn't everything, there are some guys with incredible standing ranges that aren't good NBA players, that being said, I think he's a good prop now as much as I like it. Mark Williams Duran definitely seems like a monster to me, and I'm actually a little disappointed that they didn't get more in return than what was the 13th overall pick. Duran was a lottery pick. What did the Hornets essentially get back for him?

Well, they got it. Let's get back a 2025 first-round pick that belonged to the Bucks and just a few seconds now, while we're on the topic of trades, when it comes to trades or trade targets, let me know what movies you'd like to see this team in. comments below apparently the Hornets have been paying close attention to the trade market. I mean, the rumors surrounding this team have been all over the place. I saw a rumor saying they were interested in sending Rozier to Los Angeles and what would have been a 14 deal. I saw another rumor saying they were trying to acquire Donovan Mitchell and I also saw some rumors saying Kelly Oubre could be on the move with the Hornets.

I'm not sure there is an easy solution, but as I said before things could definitely be worse. The Hornets have talent, they just need to develop it and also get more pieces that fit. Building around the Mellow ball shouldn't be difficult. This is a guy going into his third year who was just an All-Star. that he averaged 20.1.6.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists while shooting nearly 40 percent from three. Getting a guy like Lamelo is the hardest part of any rebuild. When you have a guy like this, anything is possible, especially if you really let them loose and let them find themselves.

To quote lightly, when they actually put the keys in my hand, I feel like it's going to be a completely new situation, but until then I'm going to keep doing what I have to do, just try to get these wins. I'm not going to lie all the time. game I feel like I can do more than what I'm doing it's just about reading the whole game and reading the whole situation and everyone being on the same page the consistency part once that all clears up I feel like we'll be straight guys. Can you imagine

lamelo

ball in a Dan Tony Peak Hardin style five out offense.

I think that would be devastating. No one can stay in front of him. He moves around the basket and is already one of the best Shepherds in the game when it comes to licks. The sky is really the limit, we just have to hope the Hornets do things right, as dumb as they may seem, if the Hornets aren't good, one of my biggest fears for them is being too good for a bad pick, you know ?, although that's a Topic for another video, guys, let me know what you think of everything in the comments below. Clicking on the video on your screen right now is a great way to support my channel.

I'm good, like Coop, giving you the scoop until our next load.
