00:00I'll actually go to his teammate in Khan Knipple at four there's a lot of positivity for Khan the basketball player I think there is excitement for what he can bring individually to Charlotte there are a lot of worries though about this defense now for the Hornets I think because of the open nature of the Eastern Conference there's going to be at least a brief evaluation of
00:30is this team setting themselves up for some success and Charlotte pairing that's wrong team Charlotte pairing Khan Knipple with Lamello and Miller fits in one respect but it makes the lack of front court help especially with the Mark Williams trade even more concerning where are you as we are a few days removed JY from Charlotte's decision to take
00:59Khan Knipple at fourth overall I think it makes a lot of sense for them in regards to the fact of what he can do as a spacer and someone could shoot the ball really well I also think he's got an extremely high basketball IQ I maybe would say a better shooting version of like a Gordon Hayward who I think someone had a really good career and actually was I do believe a former Charlotte Hornet
01:29Charlotte is the evolution this year of the game of Lamello ball I really firmly believe that Lamello ball has got to change his game and I know he could shoot the ball and he shoots it deep but I want him to be less of a score and more of a facilitator because now if you go let's say you go with a small ball five I could stretch the floor when they got to go find one right now you have driving
01:59lanes and now you have three really good shooters and obviously Hayward and I would want to say Knipple Miller and Bridges is an underrated shooter so now if you have driving lanes and kick on opportunities I think Lamello can make this team marketably better if he's willing to take on a role of a leader the problem is is I don't know if I trust him to do so and then you look at the fact of you at one point had Nick Richards
02:28and Mark Williams now they've both been traded to Phoenix that's a story for another segment because I still don't understand how that's all going to work with Mellywatch but at least I think they're going in the right direction Tom they just got to figure out what they want to do in the pivot
02:44you were talking about the defense I was going to say what defense yeah I think that's a fair I think Knipple's a little bit better defensively than people I think he can be better
02:55but the team around him is not good on defense so I said I said this at the drafter I made some allusion to it in the draft it's like they can score 130 points but they may be giving up 150
