Did I just hear the broadcasters say NOLA is a great fan base just ready to explode?

Emphasis on the 'great fan base' part

I'm a little surprised how weak of a rebounder Matkovic is. I thought he would be better controlling the boards but he's been pretty invisible down there.

Hawkins needs to spend a lot of time in the G-League this year. I’m not sure how much good sitting at the end of the bench will do for a guy like him. The sad part is he’s already 21, so it’s not like we are talking a 18 or 19 year old.

Yeah I honestly would have rolled the dice on Cam Whitmore but it is what it is.

Nnaji has straight up bullied him this game. Nnaji is a grown arse man at 18

Don't look at what he's doing right now. It'll upset you

Then why did we draft a 21 year old with limited upside to fill a need if he isn't ready?

Smith looks so erratic and out of control. It’s weird

Cause he had a great 1 v 0 shooting workout, went to Swin’s alma mater and is Angel Reese’s cousin lol

Seriously though, I felt Kira, and NAW had a better summer league than Hawkins did. All I can say is he needs to forget this and move forward.

0 2nd chance points for the Pelicans to 11 for Charlotte

Where's the bigs?

Um we didn’t put any actual bigs on the roster. This roster when it comes to bigs is really really weak.

Hawkins is a cool 2-20 from the field in the last 2 games. The "Nba ready" prospect that Griff said he drafted to address shooting.

Griffin needs to answer that. Players adjust to the NBA differently. I think he will be ok.

Wait till we get the Pels apologists to come here and say we’re just over reacting lol. And then point out that Steph and Trae had bad summer leagues too. Hawkins has some serious issues to clean up aside from his shooting.
