Nice Thread
1) I hope we get around 40 W this season, assuming that EG stays healthy
2) To me, we'll make the playoffs next year so
I would says 10th seed. MIN, HOU, POR and PHX will rise, while UTA & DAL should fall a little bit.
3) I expect a big season from The Enforcer. He has to start next season where he left off.
Greivis told that he's super excited to play with our new players. He should definitely convince the league that he is a starting should I say "caliber" PG lol. He has to get around 10 AST a game with the Brow, The Silent assassin, Sub-Zero, Ryno and The Enforcer around him. I can see him as our new leader on the floor because his energy is contagious.
Sub-zero will be ready by the beginning of the season to play the point behind Greivis. I expect him to shine and makes some big shots. Maybe some highlights with some nice crossover.
The Brow... what can I say... He won't shock anybody on the defensive end since we know what he's able to do. I want to see him play PnR with GV and Sub-zero !!! Maybe a little bit of pick n pop. And obviously he will get his dunks on transition or alley oops.
Aminu looks really solid in his games with the Nigerian team. I think, he'll be our starting 3 and will hit his potential. This is Aminu year !!!
I'm a big fan of X I want him to succeed and be our back up wing, but what I'm seeing SL has been pretty ugly, despite the fact that he is drawing fouls. Having him playing with EG and Ryno we'll create some space and give him the opportunity to be an efficient role player.
It goes the same for Miller, I really like the pick. He has a good mid range game, a NBA body and he's a hard worker. I hope he'll turn into a nice role player.
Ryno should start at 4. Monty doesn't give his trust easily. Can't wait to finaly see NOH making some 3s, this is something that I miss.
EG, a.k.a The Silent Assassin. He's back baby. He is coming at you D Wade !!!
4) EG, Greivis, X and Aminu have all something to prove !!! They will be under pressure. EG will handle the pressure in the 4th.
5) Predicting Dell's plan? I pass sorry. We need a 5 that can defend and be opportunist on offense. I'll bring in a young vet.
6) I don't know I'm from Paris. All my friends who are watch the NBA are already super excited by the Hornets and are almost becoming fans. I really don't see why New Orleans won't fall in love with this team !!! I hope NOLA will.
