    Charlotte Hornets center Al Jefferson was named All-NBA third-team Wednesday, in a vote of media members who regularly cover the league.

Jefferson averaged 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and shot 51 percent from the field, leading the then-Bobcats to only the second playoff appearance in that franchise’s 10-year history    

 

Fug yeah

I really don't get all the love Noah gets. He is a good player but I don't consider him to be as good as everyone else seems to.

 

Congrats to Big Al, he totally deserved getting his name in the hat.

 

 

Name the Centers you would take over him? 

 

He is an all-around solid player. Nothing fancy but does everything well. Has good inside game able to use both hands, ugliest jump-shot outside of MKG and Shawn Marion but it finds its way in. Great athleticism and hustle make him a great defender inside and on the perimeter. Great at rebounds with fundamentals and effort. What I like best about him is is passing ability, he has great vision and natural knack for creating for teammates. He also can bring ball up court off rebounds and push the pace.  

 

He is a top 3-5 Center easily to me: Marc Gasol, Dwight Howard, Noah, Big Al, Timmy D and quickly rising is Anthony Davis. Listed in no particular order...

 

He isn't great at anything but above average at everything on the court. That is why I feel he gets overlooked so often.

I agree he is close to top 5, but I think that tells more about how weak the Center position currently is in the NBA more than it does about him. He is a good player, but I don't think he should ever finish top 5 in MVP voting.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
