This episode of the Locked on Hornets podcast features Doug Branson and Walker Mehl discussing the Charlotte Hornets' performance at the NBA Summer League. They discuss rookie Brandon Miller's up-and-down play so far, with Doug saying "What separates nearly every great player from every other also ran player is how they respond to struggles... I always love to see how players especially early on in their careers, respond to those struggles."
PJ Washington is still unsigned but the parties are getting closer according to a new report from Sean Deveney of Heavy.com. Walker is done messing around and think the Hornets should get him signed. "If they don't care, then it doesn't matter that you have bird rights, it doesn't matter that you give him raises, you'll let him walk. That'll be it. If you do care, then this year is going to have to be spent trying to get back in the good graces of PJ."
Finally, they discuss the NBA's new in-season tournament, with Doug saying "I think all of these leagues and worlds where these RSN networks are going away and everything's going streaming and things are changing. The game has to change to get a little bit more attention from younger folks. And I think this is a good start."
