Let's get buzzed! Hornets @ Wolves GDT

[rapsuperstar31]

Reid has been playing hurt for far to long. His frustration looks to be boiling over and he is venting at the refs. I feel like he is going to need surgery in the off-season, which might be here far to soon.

Hopefully he isn't risking chronic long term damage not getting it fixed now. Some players that hurt their shoulders never find their shots again.

How does Ayo look? Asking because his box score is a disaster...2 for 7 shooting and a team-worst -19.

He's competing on defense but he's a bit small to guard their players. A lot of Charlotte points are coming off of 2nd chance points. Offensive rebound than hitting a wide open three.

My issue is that he's offered absolutely nothing in their half court offense other than being a glue guy/set-up man. OK, that's fine if you are the 4th or 5th option, but we need more from him with that group he's out there with. Not seeing the shot creation.

These last two games it felt like Philly and Charlotte were familiar with Ayo which they are since they played against him more in the East, and it seemed like they were ready for his straight line drives to the hoop. Philly in particular blocked him at least 3 times. I'm not sure if the scouting is out on Ayo now, as far as how he wants to play for the Wolves. Playing next to a healthy Ant and Jaden, would certainly benefit him more than what he's facing now out there.

I am over Naz Reid. Which sucks cause in any aquiring of Giannis, we HAVE to have a big like Naz who can space the floor. But he is waaay too inconsistent. Offers nothing else if he is not scoring. Aaaaand, has become the new Ant for whining about every call or no call related to him. I am ready to move on from him.

He's unlikely to be ready next season, but Rocco is a promising BIG in the Wolves fold. I think he might fit the mold of one of the Lopez brothers. Hopefully, it's Brooke, and not Robin...

Thats my feeling that the "start Ayo" crowd is a bit premature. He's a nice player but he's still not athletic enough or crafty enough to be real effective against good defenses or starters.

Not saying I don't like him, I just feel like we need to pump the brakes a bit crowning him early. His best role to me is still a backup role and maybe it's just because we don't have a good PG makes him look better then he really is and playing next to Ant and/or Ju who take a lot of gravity.
