【Hornets of 30 days and 30 teams: the core is talented, and the strength improvement depends on rookies + internal mining】
If I had to pick a defender with the most fluid passing in the game, Lamello Ball would definitely be one. In the rookie season, it is close to getting 16+6+6 data. In the second season, he raised his stats to 20+6.7+7.6. What's more, his three-point shooting percentage improved from 35.2 percent to 38.9 percent.
Can pass, can break through, can three points, such three goals, has grown into the heart of the Hornets. His ceiling seems to be higher than his brother Lonzo Ball. For now, he only has to defend against his brother.
However, there is a problem with three goals. His playfulness was too heavy, and his desire for victory was obviously not so high. The Hornets made the playoffs for two consecutive years and missed the playoffs for two years. Why? Not a complete lack of strength, but three goals as the core of the team, he is not ready, taking on the responsibility of the team to enter the playoffs and even go further.
In the 21-22 season, the Hornets played in the playoff against the Hawks, three goals felt cold, played 38 minutes, 7 of 25 shots, including 4 of 14 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, 26 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls.
At first glance, the overall data of the three goals is OK, in fact, many of his points and assists are brushed out in the last quarter, and in the case of 30+ behind in the last two minutes, the three goals are not yet off, and the last ten seconds are still thinking about scoring, which is disappointing. Because the fans who watch the game know that the situation has gone, he is on the spot to brush the data.
Play too hard.
Maybe he was still too young to be an All-Star the following year, and his popularity was so high.
Offseason, the Hornets made no moves in the free market. It's puzzling, as a play-off team, it's imperative to strengthen the lineup, but the Hornets don't move. Harrell does not renew his contract, Bridges has not renewed his contract, domestic violence is facing imprisonment may also retire to do something else, one less starter and a substitute.
What did they do?
At the draft, Jack Durham was selected with the 13th pick in the first round and traded him. Through a three-way trade with the Knicks, Pistons, the Hornets secured a first-round pick for the 2025 Bucks. Originally lacking a big center, the result was selected Durham and sent away, not afraid that Durham will come out in the future and swell his face?
Of course, the Hornets knew what they were missing, and with the 15th pick, they selected Center Mark Williams from Duke University, who was 2.18 meters tall and had an arm span of 2.29 meters, and was a defensive center. Last season, he played in 39 games for Duke, averaging 23.6 minutes per game, 11.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks, shooting 72.1 percent from the field.
They drafted forward Bryce McGoverns with the 40th pick in the second round, and the Hornets signed him to a two-way contract for two years. McGoverns, who is 2.01 meters tall, averaged 33.3 minutes per game last season, with 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Also, the Hornets replaced the new head coach with Clifford. New coaches mean new offensive and defensive systems, different employment strategies, which may help the Hornets to tap energy in the team.
In 2021, the Hornets have two first-round picks, but they are basically wasted. With three goals, Rozier, defender Berkenett was selected with the 11th pick in the first round, and as a result, he averaged 9.8 minutes per game and played 31 games. During the NCAA era, he was a scoring machine.
With the 19th pick in the first round, striker Kay Jones was selected. The team lacked an interior but did not train for Jones, playing 21 games and averaging 3 minutes per game. The team managed to get the first round, just so bad?
Birknett and Jones, not knowing if the coach will be able to give him a chance to practice the next year.
Four years and $31.4 million, renewed Cody Martin.
McDanis and Richards' contracts were executed, and the new season became fully guaranteed contracts.
Basically, that's how the Hornets' lineup is.
Starting:
Plumlee
Washington
Hayward
Rozier
Three goals
Inside Rotation:
Mark Williams/Jones/McDanis/Richards
Outside Rotation:
Oubre/Birknet/Martin
If the team is bold, simply let Mark Williams play the starting line-up and Plumlee play the bench. There are no substitutes for the three goals, and it is better to practice Berknett more.
Of course, Bridges can come back, their rotation can be used by one more person, and Hayward can be substituted.
The New Season of the Hornets may still be a team in the playoff area, and their games will be very watchable, but if they want to enter the playoffs, they are still not sure. If there is no follow-up deal, they can only expect the rookie to have immediate combat strength and dig out talents internally.
Three goals need to take back their play heart and be more mature. Improve your ability to finish the basket and create fouls in order to be more lethal in key games.
Evaluation: Decent, not rotten, but the record is not dazzling. #NBA# #NBA Spit Conference # #NBA热点 #
