    Be ready to TRADE DOWN if Shepard and Castle go early. Or take Devin Carter, not Knecht or Clingan at 6.

    Nobody is trading UP for a 6’3 guy. If they trade up it will be because either Risacher or Sarr didn’t go #1 or 2.

    Thank you, Walker for seeing the Clingan mirage Ive been screaming from the rooftop.
    Edey is a wsy better player.
    Ron Holland reminds me of a Tari Easin. A bull in the China shop. Questionable Basketball IQ with tunnel vision, but high motor & athleticism.

      Ye Reed at worst turns into JJ Redick but better on defense. Scoot could end up as THT.

    Will hornets be active in OFFSZN FA??

  • @randoroo2540
    @randoroo2540 3 місяці тому +5

    This is going to be against what everyone is projecting, but I'm hoping the hornets trade back and draft Zach Edey. I know it likely won't happen, but I think whoever gets Edey in this draft is going to be getting the most undervalued player in the draft and a franchise cornerstone for a winning team.

      @randoroo2540 3 місяці тому

      @@papajohn7413 Yeah, just like all those guards have to worry about the rules around carrying the basketball in the NBA. He's going to adapt. You don't pass up a 2 time NCAA player of the year that's 7'5" 300 pounds with soft touch and generationally high efficiency in the paint. Edey is the one that'll bring old school bigs back, I'm calling it now. It's popular to hate on him b/c his game is predictable and not that fun, but it's effective. One day, people are going to look back on this draft and wonder how everyone missed it. That he should have been a top pick will seem obvious in retrospect.

    @traydevon 3 місяці тому

    If they trade back with Memphis, you take Aldama as PF…a TRUE PF who is also an excellent 3pt shooter. Stop talking about wing players on Memphis. You could use that #9 pick on a wing player.

  • @lloydfarmer
    @lloydfarmer 3 місяці тому

    I would take one of Sarr. Risarcher, Shepard, Castle, Buzelis at 6.
    If all are gone, Clingan is still available, and I would trade back if a first or marcus smart type vet is available.
    There Knecht, Holland, Williams, Salaun, Carter

    If you remember, we coulda had Agbaji in the 2022 draft with the No. 13 pick and still had Mark Williams at 15 if not for Mitch Kupchak and Jordan cheaping out on a lottery pick.

    Sign Miles. Even at 30 mill. In two years, no one will care abt the off court issues. Just the way it is.
    Then, you can trade him, if it makes sense at that point, for a couple firsts.

    • @uthamanj
      @uthamanj 3 місяці тому

      For real, everyone screaming about how that's too much. But with the new TV deals, $30 mill isn't that extreme. Besides, who else are they going to use it on?

  • @outtatime9836
    @outtatime9836 3 місяці тому

    One thing that I have been thinking about is that if the hornete don’t beat the Celtics at home after Tatum calles the hornets a Monday night league pass kinda team, and show Lee what could be, he doesn’t accept any offer from the hornets

    We should care greatly about this 6th pick. “Draft experts” are saying drafting 1st this year is like drafting 6th or 7th in a normal draft… so the Hornets are picking what equivalent to around 11th or 12th. Here are the all star caliber players drafted 11th or later over the past decade…
    2014 - Nikola Jokic 41st
    2015 - Devin Booker 13th
    2016 - Domantas Sabonis 11th Pascal Siakam 27th and Dejonte Murray 29th
    2017 - Donovan Mitchell 13th, Bam Adebayo 14th, OG Anunoby 23rd
    2018 - Shai Gileous-Alexander Jalen Brunson 33rd
    2020 - Tyrese Halliburton 12th
    2021 - Alperen Sengun 16th
    2022 - Jalen Williams 12th
    An all star caliber player is going to be available at 6. Maybe this regime will be the one to find him!
