The Charlotte Hornets preseason was marked by a lot of nagging injuries and one major injury to LaMelo Ball but it did teach us a lot about where the Hornets player development system stands and where this franchise should be heading. Doug is joined by David Walker to discuss what we learned about James Bouknight, Mark Williams, Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier and more. PLUS! Rumors are starting to pick up again about moving Russell Westbrook out of LA. Does Charlotte make more sense as a destination after this preseason and would he even play for the team? And since we have David we do a Fashion Friday segment including LaMelo's new shoe release, a possible Hornet city jersey leak and his thoughts on the statement the team made with their new statement jerseys.
