About this episode
The Charlotte Hornets are officially on a four-game winning streak, and the vibes in Buzz City have never been higher. We celebrate Moussa Diabate’s electric performance against the Grizzlies, highlighted by a shocking three-pointer and a thunderous tomahawk dunk that had us reacting like Conan O’Brien on Hot Ones. But beyond the highlights, we ask the big question: Is Moussa Diabate the long-term answer at center? We analyze the data behind the "Killer Bees" lineup (LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges, and Diabate), which currently boasts the best net rating in the entire NBA. Are the Hornets legitimately good, or is this just a hot streak?With the trade deadline just a week away, we assess potential moves. Should the Hornets be buyers or sellers? We discuss the market for players like Josh Green and Tre Mann, and whether adding a veteran big man like Nic Claxton is necessary for a play-in push. Finally, we react to The Ringer’s updated Top 100 players list, seeing where LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel rank among the league's best. Join us for a fun episode celebrating a winning culture in Charlotte.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… ? https://linktr.ee/lockedonhornetsBecome an official member of the Locked On Hornets Sicko Brigade and get Hornets news, rumors and pictures of Byron Mullens sent directly to your phone via Subtext (14 Day Free Trial): https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonhornetsLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More ? https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAGet Doug's gamenotes, special articles and a podcast on Hornets history at the Every Hornets Boxscore substack: everyhornetsboxscore.comGet more Walker on Wes and Walker 12-3pm on WFNZ 92.7 FM?
