Jack: The guy is a scorer. Through and through. He's a capable passer, but average in every sense of the word. His defense is also passable, but he likes to gamble alot and go for steals. This will often result in easy shots for the offense.However you will see his D improve as he defends backups instead of starters I'm sure. His three point shot is inconsistant, one game he will be a marksman and next game he will not take any or attempt just one. He has a elbow jumper that is one of the most consistant jump shots in the game. If you leave him an inch he will take it and not hesitate. He is very good at drawing fouls, but bad at finishing through contact, but a great FT shooter. One of the most important aspects of Jacks game is he is a leader. A true professional, you will see him on the floor offering encouragement to when warranted and yelling at teammates when needed. He will be the first to jump off the bench at a big play. He is a true good guy too. I bumped into him in NOLA once and my young brother wanted a picture with just Jarrett Jack, so Jack took a picture with him and then insisted that he take another as my brother's eyes were closed. A great guy on and off the court.
to Jack.Reason for not keeping him: Minutes for younger guys and cap space to get a true center (Robin Lopez)
Landry: Strong guy. Athletic though he won't jump out of the gym, just enough to slam one down now and then. His game is get into the post and score the ball or draw a foul. A real blue collar guy who never gives up on a play, which results in a lot of hustle plays going his way. His midrange game is existant, but barely. One time in the Lakers playoff series Gasol backed off him and begged him to shoot the ball and it resulted in misses two plays in a row. He struggles against big players, but not scoring on them. He can score on any big man in the league, but can't reboud well against 7 footers and struggles to defend them all due to his raptor like wingspan. If he could rebound at a more efficient rate he would be starting somewhere in this league, luckily you guys have Lee and Bogut to make up for that. He can't play the SF or C but he should be able to play well in a small lineup with Lee and of course with Bogut. He actually got in some trouble last year with coach Monty for not playing through injury that he could have, but I don't hold that against him. It was a hard season to watch as a fan and I can only imagine being on the court through it. If you give Landry 20 or so minutes a night, he can consistantly give you ten PPG and what more can you ask from a backup PF? You also got him on a good contract.
Reason for not keeping him: A crowded front court, that includes young guns Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson who play the same position. Limited interest from both sides due to play time.
Good luck Warriors, you guys got two of my favorite Hornets (of all time!) and are now my second favorite team... A distant second
to the Warriors bench. If we aquire any Warriors in the future, visit HornetsReport.com to return the favor. Good luck in the playoff hunt you guys!
Welcome to the board (even if you're a hornet's fan)
