Calling him elite as a defender is a bit premature. Don't put that kind of pressure and expectation on him.
Best 👌 daily content that I need to get me through, especially during the offest part of the off-season 🎉 💯
So close to 5k subs!
Make the sandwiches 🥪 guys!
He is sure far from being an elite defender. He is a good defender no doubt. But he has NOT arrived yet.
Hornests have no elite player yet, not even Lamelo Ball.
Grab that chicken by the neck and then swing it like Hulk did to Loki
Context is miller shoots the Perimeter WAY more and spacing is better in Alabama.
I’m still wishing we kept Duren. He seems a better all around player.
Finally SOME MARK DAWG LOVE!!!👌💀💀 My favorite Hornet
The fact that the word shart has been used makes LOH the best pod in the league
Doug literally looks up to Mugsy😂
Easily a elite defender two rookies in Mark and Kessler already top rim protectors in the league I saw a graphic where he was a B or better in every Rim protecting category
My favorite stat on mark williams, he is one of 3 rookies in nba history to have a 20 rb night. Bill russel and fellow hornets Alonzo morning
Thank you guys for the podcast, best hosts on Locked On network
Doug who’s your favourite HORNET
More surprised by a podcast host in out-of-character attire than I am by the incompetence of my favorite NBA franchise
I think Brandon has proven he can shoot so far in summer league. That Shart Chart shows how wide open he was in college, but an NBA floor is even bigger! Also I think LaMelo will be finding him anytime he’s open !
