Hornets were a step quicker on offense and defense, got a ton of rebounds, and probably played better than they will most of the season.
Flagg and PJ looked good. Klay was good. A tiny shout-out to Miles Kelly who can hit his shot.
AD is not so good in this offense, and if there is a postion for him, I don't think it's the one he's playing. He's not really impacting the game much at that position. Max looks like a rotation player - same as last year. D'lo and everyone else looked slower and more timid than anyone on the Hornets. That's probably expected to some degree. They'll get better, but AD is not a game changer when he's on the floor. Not yet, anyway.
