Hornets WIN 6th Straight Season Opener | Naz Reid Goes OFF | Hornets' Bench WRENCH

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The Charlotte Hornets opened their season with an impressive 110-103 road win against the Brooklyn Nets, overcoming injuries and silencing doubters with energetic team play. On this episode, the focus is set squarely on Brandon Miller’s explosive first half and how a slow start turned into a momentum-shifting stretch thanks to his tough finishes and confidence, even as he cooled off in the second half. Naz Reid’s emergence as a facilitator, scorer, and gritty presence in the paint also commands attention, with his near triple-double performance providing a crucial anchor for the offense. The conversation also highlights Doug Branson's observations about Moussa Diabate’s relentless rebounding, Dennis Schroder’s rim pressure, and Grayson Allen’s timely shooting and surprising defensive impact.

Attention shifts to rotation changes, with early takes on Sion James filling in for Kon Knueppel and Coby White, as well as how the lack of LaMelo Ball was felt in both organization and shot creation. Expect sharp insights on rookie struggles—especially Christian Anderson’s tough second half—and the challenges of integrating new faces in a new system under coach Charles Lee. The duo celebrates the Hornets’ hard-nosed defense becoming a foundational identity, while also touching on role players like Ryan Kalkbrenner and Royce O’Neale, who could become critical as the season progresses. It’s a spirited, analytically rich look at what might be in store for this reshaped Charlotte squad.

Kon and Coby are OUT!! | What Does it MEAN? | What Can We EXPECT

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:45:00 GMT

The season couldn’t start with more intrigue for the Charlotte Hornets: injuries have sidelined Coby White and rookie Kon Knueppel for the opener against Brooklyn, forcing head coach Charles Lee to get creative with rotations and rely on new faces. With two potential starters out, who steps up to drive the offense, and how might this impact the Hornets’ hunt for a play-in spot or more in the East? The discussion digs into what fans should expect as Dennis Schroder, Christian Anderson, and especially Sion James and Naz Reid are thrust into larger roles, with Grayson Allen’s health proving a crucial X-factor.

Attention also shifts to Brandon Miller’s $209 million rookie extension—the structure, fan reaction, and why much of Hornets Nation is still linking the move to the recent LaMelo Ball trade. Hear a clear-headed take on the logic of the new contract in the context of the NBA’s current economics, role player deals, and why this agreement could age well regardless of heated social media debate.

Finally, join in as we run the numbers, revisit rookie extension history, and size up where the Hornets stand in the East. Are expectations of 37+ wins realistic with the current roster? Can this patchwork lineup keep pace and provide hope, or are the early injuries a sign of things to come?

Hornets LOCK UP Brandon Miller 💰 | Sam Farber HYPES Kon Knueppel's Bigger Role | Nets Opener PREVIEW

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:56:43 GMT

It came down to the buzzer, but the Charlotte Hornets got it done. Brandon Miller agreed to a five-year, $209 million rookie scale extension less than an hour before Monday's deadline, and Doug Branson and Walker Mehl are here to explain what it means. The number lands $1 million above Amen Thompson's deal in Houston, and that matters. It tells you the Hornets see Miller as a first or second option, a future All-NBA talent, and a pillar of this roster. He's been a model citizen, he's averaged 20 points in each of the last two seasons, and the only real question left is health.

Then the radio voice of the Hornets, Sam Farber, joins the show for two segments recorded just before the news broke. Sam explains why Miller is vital to this team's ceiling, what Kon Knueppel's bigger role will look like, and why the Hornets' defense could be the biggest early surprise of the season. He also singles out Tidjane Salaun's offseason work on his body and the summer chemistry that has newcomers like Coby White raving.

With the opener Wednesday in Brooklyn, Sam previews a Nets team built around Julius Randle and Michael Porter Jr., and talks about how rookies Christian Anderson Jr. and Hannes Steinbach can earn minutes while Knueppel and White are out. Plus, a trip through Sam's minor league baseball days, the story behind "goodbye baseball," and a pitch for "goodbye basketball" on the first big blocked shot of the year.

Hornets Preseason is OVER! | Rookies NAIL Dress Rehearsal!! 😤| Tidjane Salaun OVER Pat Connaughton??

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 15:01:56 GMT

Walker is back and flying solo! Good news: Hornets preseason is over! Bad news: They lost to Memphis 117-98 to end the session. What were the positives? Walker goes over the performances from the rookies and why they nailed their dress rehearsal, even if the team played poorly overall. Plus, why did the Hornets decide to cut Pat Connaughton over Tidjane Salaun? Was it the right decision?

With Moussa Diabate held out by a knee injury the team is calling day-to-day, Hannes Steinbach got real minutes and made the most of them, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds. He started slow again, but he ran the floor, showed his strong hands, and kept getting better as the night went on. His two-man game with Christian Anderson Jr., his teammate on the German national team, already looks like a weapon in transition.

Anderson gets a closer look too. His pick-and-roll reads, low dribbles, and quick passes are why he's being compared to a quarterback, and one of his turnovers says more about Liam McNeeley's missed slip than about Anderson's decision. Charles Lee is coaching McNeeley hard, and that tells you something about where the young wing stands.

Finally, the roster is set. Jeff Peterson waived Pat Connaughton and kept Tidjane Salaun as the 15th man. Was it the right call, and what does Salaun's upcoming option decision mean for his future in Charlotte? Real basketball is almost here, and so is opening night for this young Hornets team.

Hornets LEARN Hard Lessons 😬 | Brandon Miller's Extension Clock TICKS | Hannes Falling Behind?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 20:23:46 GMT

The Charlotte Hornets got a real measuring stick in Boston, and the 114-93 loss showed exactly where this roster stands before opening night. Doug Branson walks through what this week taught us, starting with a problem that won't go away: real size. Mitchell Robinson and Neemias Queta controlled the paint, Boston won the points in the paint 56-20, and thirty turnovers made a tough night worse. Moussa Diabate is stronger, but the center spot is still the biggest weakness on this roster, and in a playoff series it's an easy one for opponents to attack.

Then it's on to Brandon Miller, with the extension deadline arriving Monday. Miller had Paul George on roller skates at times and got to his spots, but a 1-for-11 start is a reminder that being the number one option is easier said than done. Does he deserve max money before he's had a fully healthy season to prove it? Jeff Peterson has a tough call to make.

Doug also looks at Charles Lee's postgame comments on rookie Hannes Steinbach, who mentioned competitiveness and details, and asks whether Christian Anderson Jr. could earn a rotation spot first. Plus, the annual NBA GM survey is out. The Hornets finished third for best offseason moves, Naz Reid placed third for most underrated acquisition, and Kon Knueppel picked up votes for best pure shooter behind Steph Curry. A Sicko Satchel question wraps up the show: is it too early to worry about this team?

10-15-26 - Hornets Fall in Boston, Memphis Preseason Preview

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 10:30:00 GMT

The Hornets kicked off a brief two-game road trip to finish up preseason play in Boston, but ultimately fell 114-93. Rob Longo and Sam Perley break down the game and also preview Charlotte's final preseason game in Memphis, and also highlight the latest feature video from HSE Studios, a feature on Coby White titled "A Carolina Story."

Hornets Fall to Celtics: Turnovers, Brandon Miller's Deadline, and Christian Anderson Jr.'s Debut

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:29:54 GMT

The Charlotte Hornets took their first road trip of the preseason, and the Boston Celtics sent them home with a 114-93 loss. Preseason caveats apply. Injuries are piling up, and Coby White and Kon Knueppel weren't available. But this one raised real questions.

Charlotte turned the ball over 30 times, and Boston scored 27 points off those mistakes. The Celtics won the paint 56 to 20. Defensive miscommunication left Jayson Tatum wide open from three, and Derrick White got to the rim almost whenever he wanted. Without a reliable way to score inside, the Hornets leaned on the three-point line to stay in it. Tidjane Salaun's shooting off the bench was a big part of that.

Brandon Miller's night tells two stories. He opened 1 of 11 from the field, then rallied for 12 points in the third quarter. That comes with his extension deadline on Monday and reports that he wants a max deal. A matchup with Paul George, the player Miller modeled his game after, showed the gap that's still there in finishing inside with strength and body control.

There's good news too. Christian Anderson Jr. scored 10 points in his debut, with two steals and a clean shooting stroke that puts a rough summer league behind him. Meanwhile, Hannes Steinbach didn't check in until 6:10 left in the fourth, which raises fair questions about where the rookie stands. Plus, Dennis Schroder passing up an open Sion James in the corner, Naz Reid's frustration against Boston's pressure, and what Charlotte has to clean up before opening night.
