Lance Stephenson in Charlotte

[LoneyROY7]

What kind of numbers do y'all see him putting up on Hornets?

I could definitely see him taking the next step and being a constant triple double threat while putting up 18 ppg, 7 rpg, and 6 apg on 46 percent shooting.

Him and Kemba should be an intriguing backcourt duo.

Same numbers Kendall Gill got in Charlotte 20 years ago.

I was gonna make a thread on this, people are sleeping on the Hornets. They may not be anything special next year, but 2-3 years from now they could be sick.

Kemba Walker / Brian Roberts / Jannero Pargo
Lance Stephenson / Gerald Henderson / Gary Neal
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Marvin Williams / Jeff Taylor
Cody Zeller / Noah Vonleh / Bismack Biyombo
Al Jefferson / Bismack Biyombo / Cody Zeller

Pretty much all their main talent aside from Jefferson aren't even in their primes right now...Kemba, Lance, MKG, Zeller, Vonleh, etc all have a lot of time to improve. In 2-3 years they should all be pretty experienced, and Big Al should still be in or close to his prime.

Anyways I see Lance putting up something like 16/5/5/2..his impact as a secondary ballhandler/playmaker is gonna be huge, it's gonna take a ton of pressure off Kemba.

Lance needs to ball this year for it to work. Cats looked completely lost at times when Al Jeff wasn't on the floor.

Not sure what his numbers will be, but with that guaranteed contract, we know he's going to act a fool.

I was thinking this, but maybe a few more points..22-23

they need some shooters.or replace mkg with a good all around sf

I'm thinking something around 18ppg, 6reb, 6apg. I think he's capable of averaging 20+ but he averaged around 15ppg last year so its unusual for somebody to make a 6ppg jump in 1 year although its definitely possible. I just don't think it will be this year.

Charlotte is going to be fun this year. Potentially Top 4 in the East. Their main problem was they didn't have enough offense without Big Al (and sometimes with him), so now they have Lance. They will probably start Marvin Williams as a stretch 4 since apparently he can shoot, but is pretty garbage. Not a fan of the signing...wish they had kept McBob, but he wasn't worth the money he got from Miami.

Hornets will be one of my favorites on League Pass for sure!

While he will help them with Henderson there they didn't need him unless they plan to play both of them together.

I predicted Charlotte to win the East.

Call me crazy, but a team with Stephenson, Kemba, and big Al is just too dynamic. Their biggest knock last season was offense, and with another year of experience for Kemba and adding a playmaker in Lance, I can see them competing with Chicago and Cleveland for first in the east.
