I’ll absolutely settle for that. My overriding hope is that, within two to three years, the Hornets have an established identity. I hope we take a step towards that in this draft.
Was cool to see our two biggest stars come out and support the new coach.
Also, Kemba was in the building too!
With the (pre?) summer league win, I’d like to announce that coach Lee has moved his way into my top 5 hornets/bobcats coaches of all time. Haha, but actually though.
If he’s above average, that moves him into top 5. Above .500 then he’s already in top 2
- Cowens - 61% record
- Bristow - 51%
- Silas 1st stint - 57%, 2nd stint drops him
- Clifford - 43%
- Borrego - 46%
If he gets us past the 2nd round at any point, he’s the greatest coach in Hornets history.
I would say if he gets us past the first round he wins greatest coach in franchise history. This Franchise (Bobcats) has never advanced
^^^^^^^^^^^
100% reasonable.
“No, I am not prepared to offer a strong opinion on the coaching future of a podcaster. There just isn’t enough data to say much of anything here. Redick takes the bottom spot purely on lack of experience. Keefe underwhelmed as Washington’s interim last season. Lee and Fernandez are widely respected assistants, but they’ve still never done this before. Rajakovic has one tanking season on the job. Check back with me in a year and I’ll have something to say.”
Tier 9: We don’t know enough
- JJ Redick, Lakers
- Brian Keefe, Wizards
- Charles Lee, Hornets
- Jordi Fernandez, Nets
- Darko Rajakovic, Raptors
A year ago I decided that the Panthers were ruined for at least 3 years thanks to the picks traded for a too short Bryce Young. The good news is that the Hornets and the decision making around them are trending in the opposite direction.
Same tier w JJ? Ridiculously disrespectful.
Based on what a poster broke down on coach Lee’s lack of coaching fundamentals and how bad we have played even when key players have returned, I would say coach Lee is even worse than JJ!!!
