Hannes Steinbach x Moussa Diabaté about to be one If the best offensive rebounding duos ever.
Charlotte about to shoot a TON of 3s and then absolutely abuse the glass. That’s a winning proposition.
No. 14: Charlotte Hornets -- Hannes Steinbach, F, Washington
"I’m buying his shooting upside. He’s not exactly a defensive anchor, so he’ll probably work best in a twin-towers front court. The Hornets needed some more beef inside and they got it."
Grade: A
Offseason intel via @MikeAScotto:
- Warriors have talked to Hornets about swapping no. 11 for nos. 14/18; have also talked to Pelicans about Trey Murphy III
- Kings expected to waive-and-stretch DeMar DeRozan; Clippers would have interest in DeRozan as an FA
- Kings unlikely to pursue Ja Morant
- Myles Turner is a strong trade candidate
- Julius Randle is excited about trade to Nets and wants to be in Brooklyn
4 biggest draft ???’s for me after top-4
1. If LAC takes Brown 5, what does Bkn do at 6?
2. Atl at 8…. Do they take best PG left, jump on Burries, take Mara, or trade it?
3. Mil has 10/13, doesn’t need a center… could Mara fall to Char at 14?
4. Does Milw trade up?
Free agency intel, via @MikeAScotto:
- If Lakers offer Austin Reaves close or to the full max, he'll stay; could consider other offers or sign-and-trade if not
- Hawks hope to retain CJ McCollum; projected AAV around $20M
- Nic Claxton is on Hornets' radar
