    LaMelo back in the lineup after missing a week and took over where he left off. Taking more shots than points scored. He took 26 and scored 24 points. Bridges was the main reason for tonight's rare win. He took 18 shots and scored 25 points. There was a huge discrepancy in foul shots. SA was at the line 24 times while the Hornets had 6.

    Not so fast my friend...

    "LOS ANGELES -- The Lakers' trade with the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams was rescinded Saturday, according to the Lakers, after the 7-foot center failed L.A.'s physical exam, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
    Williams' physical with the Lakers showed multiple issues, and the team failed him, sources said. The physical was not failed due to his back, however.

    Williams has struggled with injury issues to start his NBA career, including extended absences due to back and foot injuries. He has only played in 84 out of a possible 212 games through his first two and a half seasons with the Hornets (39.6%)."

    Any thoughts on the first year Hornets' coach? I really don't see a miracle worker yet.

    Trade Lamelo on draft night for a huge haul and at number 4, take his replacement. Guy has good ankles

    Looks good in the highlight, but there was four and a half minutes of scoring with some cool passes added in. What bothers me is there was only like 45 seconds of defense on the video.

    Dude has a high arc on 3 pointers similar to Bird

    This one has a couple steals in it, but most highlight reels are offense.

    Hornets look like they might be at the #3 slot in draft after tonight.

    Jakuncionis reminds me a lot of a little slower LaMelo. He can drive and put it off the glass with either hand. He's averaging around 4 TOs per game. His D can certainly use some improving, but he's only 19 I believe. Only shooting around 30% on his catch shoot tries, but in the upper 40s otherwise. Good court vision and sneaky good passes. Yep, he reminds me of LaMelo with better ankles.
    I don't know any of the other rated players other than Flagg in the draft
