80 games into the season for the Charlotte Hornets, their prized rookie, Noah Vonleh, has finally achieved the fabled “actually good game”. Not just an “okay game” or a “that could definitely have been worse game”, but a real, legit, authentic, “actually good game”. I didn’t think it was going to happen, honestly.
Nerlens Noel would love to be able to hit a three. James Young would love to be able to get 16 points. Jabari Parker would love to be able to dunk. Tyler Ennis would love to be able to grab 12 boards. Nik Stauskas would love to be able to hit a three. 16 points, 12 rebounds, a couple dunks and a three pointer in a single game for Noah Vonleh? Put it all together, and you have the most exciting happening of the Hornets’ miserable season.
