I mean, obviously every team in the league is doing all those little ghost screens and stuff now, but it's just not the same in part, too, because Grant set really good screens, then would pop hard or make plays on the short roll. Yeah, there's just no one that they have that can really replicate that. It was a serious loss on both sides of the court.

And yeah, looking at this, there's 312 minutes this season without Lamello, Brandon Miller and Grant on the court, the Hornets have a 100 offensive rating in that, which is terrible. With those three guys on the court, the Hornets just short of 122 points per 100 possessions with Grant, Lamello, and Miller on the court.

I mean, it's a rather small sample, but it does speak to when they had their two best playmakers and shot creators with their sort of like best front court hub, it was producing an offense that was actually scoring at a pretty high clip.

I think or hope it's a function of the roster. I mean, he's obviously going to always be like... Because you were just talking about the usage rate. I think he's hovering around 40% assist rate right now, too. I mean, the usage and playmaking load he's shouldering is pretty ridiculous. He's very good. He's very fun. And he can do a lot of special stuff on the court, but...

I think you've got – I mean, the two guys you just named, you know, whether it's Harden or Westbrook or Kobe, those guys are, you know, tanks. And guys that are really, you know, conditioned – Luca, you think of the guys that, like, really do play pure Helio ball. Like, that's not LaMelo. And I'm probably –

One of 12 people that either cover the Hornets or are fans of the Hornets that still really reflect fondly on what sort of the playmaking apparatus looked like for Charlotte his rookie season. And that's when they still had Malik Monk. Gordon Hayward was healthy and good for most of that season. Miles Bridges was coming online as a playmaker. They still had Terry Rozier, Devontae Graham. And...

Basically, they had like six guys, six, seven guys that could like run, you know, credibly run pick and roll or could bend the defense with a live dribble. And I don't think you're ever going to get back quite to that sort of mix. you know, with a teenage Lomelo. But I do want... I would love for him to be a guy that wasn't having to isolate so much, wasn't having to run so much pick and roll.
