Reel Access | Episode 9: Influx of Talent

I would say my style of play is a person that helps his teammates really in any way possible not a secret shooting mostly a little bit of everything just The Versatile score all over the floor pesky Defender being someone that can rely on a defensive end as a voice I

Always a for wining crafty defensively and a overall team player energy always energy that’s what I can bring here we go it starts with lamelo got it Great Balls of Fire lamelo hey welcome to see you great to have you how you doing you guys pass

Your physical I hope so all right all right hey you know I guess the change uh in a team is pretty significant well last 3 days uh so we’ll see get together with the guys that came from Dallas and uh and there’s three of us coming from OKC

So I feel like we know each other well so shouldn’t be too hard to fit in yeah just a lot of you know positivity hard work um Great Character guy so uh we hope to bring that to to Charlotte it was a dream of mine growing up as a kid

You know it’s cool that you still have friends here too since I’m younger age I still have a bunch of friends that are super excited to me back back in town and I get to see family growing up I always wanted to wear that Hornets

Jersey with the number 30 on it so you never know if it’s going to happen or not but once you started hearing things about a trade possibly I mean coming home to Charlotte was uh one of the best cases so I’m excited all going to play to

Help it’s the dawn of a new era of Hornets basketball at least it feels like it Charlotte an influx of talent five new players in the fold hoping to help the Hornets end a long losing streak Brandon Miller sets up treay man welcome to the Queen City tray man take

Long for that to happen great Williams two in a row welcome home be into the corner bton locked and loaded for three yes sir set Curry’s got it that’s what I’m talking about hedly de welcome home lot of dribbling there for mile finds MIT him the well that’s how they do it

Seria first time for five new Hornets and it’s a winner Charlotte 115 Memphis 106 your final score good d man it was lit tonight cow was here good D though there we go come on one at a time man long season keep it up can’t celebrate too high can’t do too

Low keep going hey good win good win wait Stay Together good win guys Hey listen so that was balanced basketball though right okay we had the defense could have been better in the second half but I’m going to say this offensively all right unselfish ball hit the paint inside out you guys created

Great shots and for the most part the defense was really good too okay now we got two games now and this whole thing no matter where you’re at is always about getting better about getting better okay so that’s got to be our attitude play whenn or lose learn from

It make progress go forward but you can see the possibilities here with this team well done well done family on three 1 two three first game back come back with a win that’s always something you dream of you know put on this jersey being a part of this team

Something you always wanted to be a part of everybody here is really really welcoming everybody here wants to you know accomplish something big and that’s all our focus is step by step one game at a time the New Look Charlotte Hornets kept the momentum rolling winning their next two games before the allstar

Break quarter three Williams buries it chance to take the lead Curry I love it it was fun man we played together on both ends of the floor um that’s what it takes against that team that great offensive offensive Juggernaut um we had to communicate on defense we play

Together as a team both offensively and defensively and brought some energy to the arena so it’s was fun to come out here and get back to back win from Lumber look at the Ste Boom for Trey playing sish playing hard you know having good game plans going out there and executing enjoy your

Break okay and just know we can get a lot better we just got to figure out how to do it okay but good stuff here we go good stuff here we go family family on three 1 two three come back focused take right back to it baby of the five new players that

Arrived in Buzz City perhaps Trey man was the one that experienced the biggest Whirlwind just days before the trade Trey welcomed a baby boy into the world on the same day Trey celebrated his 23rd birthday it’s been crazy my birthday was February 3rd and I had my son on my

Birthday so that was pretty cool but then getting traded it was hard they gave me a night to you know pack and try to get things settled in with the family but it still been tough being away from my wife and my son I’m going try to get

A house situated or apartment or something and then I’m going to get him here I don’t want him stand in a hotel so I’m going to try to look for something over a break uh-oh fired up there nope man was open didn’t want to take a 30-footer instead it’s a crapy layup by

Curry little hesitation right there speaking of family 2/3 of the first family of the NBA are back together as Seth Curry now wears the same uniform and number his father Dell did for a decade in Charlotte for some reason it was just assumed that I wanted that 30

Um they weren’t wrong but yeah like I said growing up I always wanted to put that Jersey on play in front of these fans here in Charlotte and um I’m lucky I’m able to do that you know I sit on the air last night it’s it’s still a

Little strange for me calling their games when they’re playing for other teams I got used to that but now that he’s on the team it’s a little strange I got to settle in a little bit uh and kind of be objective but I can also be excited to be fired up

Cuz he’s playing for our team line it up son yeah hold a follow through welcome home back in the day they used to let us run around the arena shoot on the court um before games my last few years here when they were old enough to realize hey

BPS in the NBA and playing all the coaches welcomed them at practice they’d run around shoot um and then when practice started get a gatorade hold the ball and they sit there and watch practice I you have the experience when you’re young but you don’t really realiz

Until you get older all the stuff you were soing in all the knowledge and just watching those guys go about their routines on a daily basis is definitely um manifested itself in us the fact that he you know had his homecoming going back to Charlotte the first game that

They played they wore their retro penstripe Hornet jerseys which my pops wore so it’s cool to see the curry 30 alive back in Charlotte the Hornets returned from the All-Star Break in Salt Lake city where the mindset going into the break remained which team will win Thursday

Night as as much it’s the mental part who can get back to where you were when you were playing three games in a week here but at the same time as you’re getting your body going again we got to get back to that place okay total intensity total concentration that’s how you play

Well the Hornets rested revitalized rejuvenated after the All-Star break and now they’ll return to action tipping off a four game road trip tonight down seven Miller just took his time and hit a three offensive rebound Trey man Williams yes three ball miles Bridges notices the shot clock super go your Charlotte Hornets

Have won here in the state of Utah for the first time since 2006 back then known as the bats stick with it man yeah hell yeah stick with it man 37 into the fourth tough place to win right we got their best in the second half you guys

Did a great job good win let’s build on it now right let’s get there everybody get in the right frame of mind walk through tomorrow afternoon get another one tomorrow night we go come on we got to be hungry now be hungry don’t stop together on three one two three

  1. They could’ve easily gone 0-4 on that road trip and to go 2-2 should be seen as a solid victory as well. Hope for a strong finish to the season

  2. I like the New energy and foundation for the future of the Charlotte hornets and New owners of the Charlotte hornets are putting the standards bar stamp for this franchise and the future of the Charlotte hornets is Good
