@FleXareP @HornetsReddit It’s not about starter or backup, it’s about minutes. And he’d get significant minutes in Charlotte

@HornetsReddit Zero way he comes back to be a backup right.... I mean he can go and get crazy paid to be a starting PG somewhere... I would love for him to be back. I just don't see it

🗣️ Coby White: "I think it was all part of God's plan for me to be here." "If I would've never came [to Charlotte], I wouldn't know how great the people were here. I never would've knew how the organization is ran. I never would've knew how the players are prioritized... not even like on the court, but obviously they're building the practice facility, everything that's going on and how they're trying to just transform this organization to be the cream of the crop." 📈 More at @theobserver 📰 charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlot…

@Mel_Ankoly @EdThegr8one @esidery @grok But never 1st

@EdThegr8one @esidery @grok They've had top 6 picks the past three years.

2026 NBA Lottery Mock Draft with one spin via @grok: Hornets: AJ Dybantsa Kings: Darryn Peterson Wizards: Cam Boozer Pacers: Caleb Wilson Nets: Darius Acuff Jr. Jazz: Keaton Wagler Grizzlies: Kingston Flemings Hawks: Brayden Burries Mavericks: Mikel Brown Jr. Bulls: Aday Mara Bucks: Nate Ament Warriors: Labaron Philon Jr. Thunder: Yaxel Lendeborg Heat: Hannes Steinbach

@pinkhoopsss Terrible plan

I have a new lottery proposal… - worst record gets the 1st pick - 2nd worst record gets the 2nd pick - 3rd worst record gets the 3rd pick - 4th worst record gets the 4th pick - 5th worst record gets the 5th pick - 6th worst record gets the 6th pick - 7th worst record gets the 7

@lilwhiteboi05 @HornetsSufferer SGA was bad Kobe said he would never play in Charlotte. It was a draft and trade. Just like Pippen with the Sonics or Eli Manning to the Chargers

@HornetsSufferer Oh yeah because the Hornets have NEVER traded away good players for nothing 🙄

This game too easy

@heel4ever_81 @HornetsReddit @BillSimmons An unbiased fan right here

@jflesher @HornetsReddit @BillSimmons Dook! 😂🤷🏾‍♂️😂

If @BillSimmons were NBA Commissioner and could rig the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, he'd have the Charlotte Hornets jump to #3 to pick Cameron Boozer. 👀 1. Wizards — AJ Dybantsa 2. Pacers — Darryn Peterson 3. Hornets — Cameron Boozer 4. Warriors — Caleb Wilson

@heel4ever_81 @HornetsReddit @BillSimmons We have 3 Duke players on the roster

@HornetsReddit @BillSimmons History tells us that Boozer has no desire to be drafted by Charlotte. Charlotte is a UNC hotbed and unless he’s bringing an instant championship the Queen City won’t embrace him. Then again, Caleb Wilson is a totally different story!

@inondehfsusld @oldstockfonzie @JoshGrahamShow Correct

@jflesher @oldstockfonzie @JoshGrahamShow still better than not making the post-season at all

NBA media: “We need to deincentivize teams blatantly not trying to win basketball games.” Also NBA media: *Give Cooper Flagg the ROY award — rewarding a player with cooked numbers on a tanking team — over Kon Knueppel, who played a significant role on a team trying to win*

@dripsy_hussle @yatesbedford_ @FoxSportsRadio @OddCoupleFSR @robparkerMLBbro Never said it did. I’m saying it’s wrong to do that

@jflesher @yatesbedford_ @FoxSportsRadio @OddCoupleFSR @robparkerMLBbro Rookie of the year has never been based on “meaningful “ games

The Odd Couple is SPLIT at the #NBA awarding Cooper Flagg the Rookie of the Year Award... 🏆🤬🏀 @OddCoupleFSR Rob Parker: "Cooper Flagg is NOT ROTY… Kon Knueppel played in meaningful games and helped his team reach the postseason... THIS IS A NARRATIVE!" @robparkerMLBbro Kelvin Washington: "You’ve got the entire franchise on a 19-year-old… Kon Knueppel is a great player, but he’s not carrying a goddamn franchise!" @Kdubblive

@OleTimeHardball Jose Rijo

First player to come mind when seeing this Reds logo

@Da_Beas_Knees @JoshGrahamShow Coop was drafted to a decent team that luckily got the 1st pick. They were projected to win many more games than the Hornets. Before the season started Mavs over under was around 41.5 wins. Hornets were at 28.5, and they won 19 last year. 19 to 44 (45 with a play in W) is big

@JoshGrahamShow Kon “playing meaningful games” as the argument to win ROY is one of the most dumbfounding things in recent NBA memory. 1. It’s ROY. Coop was drafted first. Odds are he is going to be on a bad team. 2. The hornets were the 9 seed IN THE EAST.. and didn’t even make the playoffs

@oldstockfonzie @inondehfsusld @JoshGrahamShow They made the post season, but didn’t make the playoffs

@inondehfsusld @JoshGrahamShow Kon didn’t make the make post season. Hes on a lottery team just like mavs

@ThrillaRilla369 Drew Bledsoe

Age yourself by naming an NFL player from your childhood. I'll start: Dan Marino

@jameis1of1 @Travis1 Miller over AI is also insane

@Travis1 Jerry West is easily #3 and he's not in the graphic? LOL. 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. West 4. SGA Also, Reggie Miller over Clyde Drexler is insane.

Do you agree with this?

@A32rod2006 @CrownClubCLT He’s got a ways to go legacy wise, but comparing their rookie years it’s not even close

@jflesher @CrownClubCLT Bro, that’s the worst take I’ve ever heard 😆

Congrats to Cooper Flagg on Rookie of the Year. Kon also put together one of the best rookie seasons this city’s seen. I’m proud of him. ROTY would’ve been nice, but Charlotte’s had that before. Awards fade. Records don’t. What he did this year is stamped.

@HawkEmDownChris 1990

What’s your favorite World Series of all time?

@Slothhh17 Trade the pick and expiring contracts for Bam

So who we want in the draft hornets fans?

@HawkEmDownChris Shaq

Without googling, name a NBA Finals MVP who wasn’t a point guard.

@Utdwavee Pippen should have won at least 3

Who is the best defender to never win the DPOY award?

@TheBHentel Edge and OT

Having a debate . What’s the easiest position to play in football? I say safety .

@JMtalkingsports @FoxSportsRadio @OddCoupleFSR @robparkerMLBbro I’m sure. Kon has Flagg beat in efficiency if that’s where we wanna go. I have a short list of people who played over 2000+ minutes, shot over 42% from 3 with a minimum of 7 3 point attempts per game. It’s a very short list. Talk about efficiency + volume

@jflesher @FoxSportsRadio @OddCoupleFSR @robparkerMLBbro Yeah but the caveat to that is he wasn't just forcing shots, when he could have. Many fans were mad he wasn't. He was making the right reads. He was still pretty efficient overall. Ironically enough, all his big number games, he was extremely efficient considering the volume.
