🎙 A Charlotte Hornets Podcast hosted by @RichieRandall, @bgeis_bird, @truzzbuzz, @malquiza8, @British_Buzz || Member of @BlueWirePods
Hornets - 21 Keep - Coby White + Kon Knueppel Early offense hit-ahead, fake the handoff back to White, flow into slot ball screen with Kalkbrenner — Kon fakes the shot + uses his pull-up gravity to get Robinson out of his drop and open up the dive
Here are multiple examples of Moussa Diabaté running the floor, getting seals, and recognizing when he has the size advantage. It's partially due to Moussa's motor, but because he does switch on the perimeter, it gives him a leg up in getting down the floor.
LaMelo Ball has been outstanding inside the arc tonight. And because of that, look at all the bodies he draws in on this drive. He even fakes the lob before kicking it out to Kon for the three-ball.

Most know this, but I put out multiple volumes of The Hive Five (inspired by @ZachLowe_NBA). I’m going to be looking back on all of these and share a few relevant trends that I spotted early and continued. (Vol. 1 — Oct. 20) LaMelo’s Offensive Role: “Getting him moving and setting screens is something that has been mentioned in preseason episodes. His gravity as a shooter puts his defender in a difficult spot.” ▪️His shift in mindset and role was spotted early and that is something that has been a running theme all season. Ball is not as ball-dominant this season.
