I'll preface this by saying I'm no NBA guru or follow it like the NFL and am not an NC State fan.. At all.

But I watch this kid and he's damn impressive. Good size, great scorer and a skillset that looks like will translate well and early in the league.

So if anyone has any opinions on him or wants to break him down feel free to in here.

We need offense and the kid brings it. He's one of those forward tweeners which may sway people away but if you're looking for points on the board, he's a viable option IMO.

What say you?

I thought he was great in college last year and I think he will transition well into the NBA.  He needs to improve his 3 point shot to be more than a role player at the next level, and unfortunately his lack of an outside shot makes him a bad fit with the Hornets roster right now.

 

If he's there at 24 I would be glad to take him, but I dont think he will be there and it doesnt make sense to trade up for a guy who wont fit the team right now

And lol at acting like there is much of a difference between the 2 spot and 3.

There is... one is a front court player and one is a back-court player.

The three is most likely more versatile because he can guard three positions on the floor.

Not to mention the way you play the game is completely different, you don't necessarily have to be a good shooter to be a successful small forward (i.e. Luol Deng and even LBJ early in his career) because your body is big enough where you can take it to the rack and even play down low.

However, you have to be a good shooter in order to play the two spot because you have to be able to stretch the floor so teams can't help out on your post players.

That's actually a pretty big difference.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
