Some unfamiliar starting lineup faces
Brunson's shot is going in. Glad to see it before opening night.
Martin, I was just wondering how to use the word " Shabang " in a sentence. I will endeavor to use that word all year and it's all thanks to you. Do you recall the Ricky Martin song " She Bangs ". ?
They are playing Diawara so does that mean Dadiet is gone ?

Livin' la vida loca! Love it
Knueppel is a ridiculous name.
How hyped would we be if Dia just hit one 3?

He pushed pass Dadiet in pecking order. But I bet we keep Dadiet for now. We might pick up a guard who got cut like Dennis Smith Jr
Anyone else Kinda like Jamison? I don't mind holding onto him to complete our center rotation Mitch/Kat/Huk/Jamison. Also Diawara kinda reminded me of Lamar Odom a little bit with the ballhandling skills.
Geez, I had predicted that during the pre season Dadiet would have made a strong case to be in the rotation and to even be the 5th starter. Guess he isn't ready yet. He is too young to be a wasted pick. But Diawara certainly seems to have a better NBA game at this time. Oh, well, good problem to have, young wing players with size developing. Hope Dadiet and Diawara get minutes in the G League and get time during the season when foul trouble, garbage time, and injuries surface.

Yabu needs to wake up on both ends --- making me yearn for Precious.
Outside of jacking open 3's - he hasn't shown a knack for rebounding, scoring off dribble, moves in the post and D / rim protection has been pretty yuck.
Wake up Yabu. Also - know he has a LARGE caboose but he also looks heavy like he has been hitting every street vendor in city.

Dia plays with every bit of energy I'd love to see once from Pacome - love that Dia is TRYING to push break off the dribble and trying to probe paint off dribble -- on flip side Pacome picks up dribble at the first sign of opposing team uniform.

Is it possible Dadiet is 6'8" Frank?
I had high hopes for this kid but even at 20 he's just seemed very passive -- an anti mentality for young players in this league.

I've seen enough, "Dia" looks like he could be an end of rotation player right now. He looks like a damn 7 footer out there. Not sure what Leon put into the Clipper's gm's drink to allow us to even have the chance to draft him.
Lets not get to excited as that was not exactly the Hornets best line up and the sets lookes like summerleague.
Dia and Pacome are super young and if we can keep them while contending would be great. Dia does have that raw Siakim look and we all know Pascal looked a bit wild unil the fundamentals kicked in. Dadiet I hve no real comment on other than he not ready for prime time but can't put a distance to how close he is.
Kolet has constantly looked like Deuce did until something clicked and his shot dropped. He looks comfortable at NBA pace with passing and not rushing things. He sees the game ok. That shot is the issue? Perhaps Deuce has given us a templet to consider as he could do it all in the Gleague, but not shoot at the pro level.
Knicks will make the best choice for the moment and we get to second guess it based on results.
