Position Preview: Will Josh Green play a big role for the Charlotte Hornets this year?

What does the rotation at shooting guard look like for the Charlotte Hornets this season? Walker Mehl and Doug Branson break down the position and consider whether rookie Brandon Miller will see significant time at the 2-guard spot.
In this episode of Locked On Hornets:
Walker and Doug dive into the shooting guard rotation for the upcoming season. They start by discussing the potential fit of Brandon Miller alongside LaMelo Ball and whether Miller should be slotted more at shooting guard or small forward. The conversation then shifts to new addition Josh Green, evaluating his role and how he complements LaMelo’s playstyle. Is Green’s defensive effort and low-usage offensive game a perfect match, or will concerns about his shooting ability hold him back? The guys also compare Green to current and past Hornets role players like Cody Martin and Courtney Lee questioning if anyone from the past few seasons resembles Green’s impact. To wrap up, they discuss the surprising news of Adrian Wojnarowski leaving ESPN for St. Bonaventure and finish with a fun look at some old Bobcats and Hornets tweets.

I hope JOSH BMILLER gave a good chemistry on the court Both with DEF upside but i would like to see more playmaking from both.

[@T-Blur]

Tre Mann and Josh green should have sg locked up. Brandon is more of a wing in my opinion and him and miles are gonna have to be able to run together at the 3/4. Cody Martin is old news to the new owners

[@glennvastine5713]

Since midway thru his 2nd season (2 1/2 years) he’s a 39% three point shooter. Does not shoot a lot so he’s a perfect fifth option after Lamelo, Miller, Bridges and Williams and Richards. He plays hard, a bit thick for a defensive shooting guard but holds up well under duress. Just play him 30 min a game and he will produce on both ends. Don’t ask him to do anything other than use all his energy keeping the other team’s best player in check. He can do a variety of things offensively but won’t ever be offensively aggressive. He’s an odd bird in a league full of selfish players. He’s a team guy and easy to like. Lately gets hurt because he plays so hard. Won’t play 80 games but it is what it is. No one does anymore.

If Josh Green can provide decent defense and average offense, it will make Cody Martin or Nick Smith expendable as a trade assets. The wild card at this position is Keyonte Johnson who has tremendous upside at the 2 and 3 spots. Hornets still need more size at the 4 and 5.

Doug I’m digging the new look dawg 🔥🔥🔥

[@EvanHalestorm]

That was the cleanest game time ever

[@gregorycastillo4799]

I think yall hope Josh green can be your Christian Braun. A guy that can chase shooters n take point of attack duties

[@charliesmarts1]

Melo Miller Miles Tidjane Mark I like it... and I want it. Get a lottery pick Then we go All In

[@codydailey4130]

With potential starting 2s a name I don't see alot I'd cody Martin. He plays good d and I feel is josh green just better. He can handle the ball as well. Maybe only playing 14-20 minutes. His injury history had made us forget wgmhat he brings to the table. If he plays well. Maybe tradeable!

[@codydailey4130]

I broke my rule and commented before i finished pod.. 🤣🤣🤣

[@amjj8218]

I’m commenting before I watch the video I’ll delete if I have to, has anyone heard anything about Cody Martin? 😂 Will he be ready for training camp? Or do we have another Lonzo Ball on our hands

[@itmejac6945]

He doesn’t exist

[@mrshaheedmalik]

Josh Green is a shooting guard that can't shoot and a guard that dies on screens.
