He needs to hit the gym, or at least put on some weight, in the offseason.

I watched him against the Knicks, everytime a defender grazed him when he drove, it threw off him completely off balance

I'm confused as to why everyone thnks he should be a PG, and also why they think he doesn't have the size to be a 2 guard...he never showed any semblance of PG abilities or mindset in highschool or his brief stint in college. He's a scorer, plain and simple...and isn't the dude 6'5"? in what world is that too small to be a 2 guard? if anything he just needs to hit the weights which would help his finishing ability

I think he's only 6'2 and he's more of a backup PG then he is a SG. He's not a good enough shooter to play SG and he's really not that big of a scorer period. He only source of offense comes from taking people off the dribble

word. can't believe he was picked so high. and now the hornets use him only because they don't wanna admit their mistake.

Yup
He should be sent down to nbdl , a guard with no explosiveness who can't shoot, even at the ft line he's like 66 percent

With Vasquez and whenever Gordon comes back they don't need this bum, he's shown absolutely nothing

He'll I can shoot 30 percent in the nba

You really think he was picked to high? I think he was picked in the right spot in this weak draft class and prolly only 5 of those players picked in front of him are gonna end being better then him

predraft he was 6'3.5" barefoot and 6'5" in shoes, certainly sizeable enough to play the 2

I thought he'd be decent but he's been awful so far. Still gotta give him more time but his Jumper is broke.
