A collection of observations and thoughts from Hornets Insider James Plowright
This week's "5 Stings" looks at Tidjane Salaun's impressive defensive versatility, bemoans the lack of Nick Richards appreciation and focuses in on Charles Lee's tough love approach, and much more!The Hornets open their 2024-25 season on the road at Houston where they project to be underdogs. Charlotte always find a way to have a memorable opening night filled with drama, just look at the previous six years.
In Clip 1, LaMelo Ball switched off defensively allowing an open corner three. Lee called a timeout immediately and subbed Ball out the game. Nick Richards' path from a promising second-round pick to a target for blame in Charlotte's struggles is quite strange. I understand that his tendency to commit offensive fouls on moving screens stands out. However, Richards gets more criticism because his mistakes are obvious, while Miles Bridges' missed box outs often go unnoticed.
Keep in mind Richards is masquerading as a starting center due to Mark Williams' ongoing health issues. He is a back-up, and one of the better ones in the league on a great value contract, hence the continued trade interest.New Hornets Performance Center Design / Hornets.com
