have the Hornets not learned from Adam Morrison! you don't draft american whites!!!

You don't draft a "shooter" in the lottery if you can help it, you draft superstar potential, athletic freaks. Both McDermott and Stauskas will be drafted before 13. Neither should be.

I bet GSW is glad they didn't think that when they drafted Curry

I'd be completely fine with McDermott as the pick. He can straight up shoot the basketball, something we are missing.

No one should get drafted in the lottery just because they can "shoot" unless they are incapable of missing or being defended.

Yes, because that's all he can do.

 

 

Who do you want to draft at 9?

No one. Either trade up or back, or package the pick for a veteran if you're going to pick a one-trick pony that will break down the first time some heavy defense is on top of him. 

 

Without NBA defenders, he looks like he can do more than shoot, doesn't he?

Curry can do more than "just shoot."

Keep trying.

There were a lot of questions about him before the draft. Many scouts didn't think he could be an effective PG and didn't think he was big and strong enough to be a SG. The only thing they knew was he could shoot

I think you're overestimating what a #9 pick in a draft can do. It's really a crap shoot. 

 

I'm personally down for any option to make us better, whether its to get a vet or another draft pick, but if we do keep our #9 pick, my top choice would be Zach Lavine based off athleticism if no other player projected earlier drops like Smart, Randle, Exum, etc. 

 

I'd really love to get a combo guard more than anything.

Everyone knew he had to be a PG to survive in the NBA. His projected position was clear. What's McDermott's? Anything you say is your opinion.

I used the word "package" because I'm not overestimating it. #9 alone isn't going to get you what you need.

      Sam Darnold can’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage.

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah. That start to his career was about as bad as it can get. In New York, Meat grinder press corps, of the first degree,    When he came here he was on OC 3 - in year 3.  And people in this fan base that think they are smart, could not take that stuff into account.  Now, most of the smart ones are not Bryce Stans but Bryce gets 4 damned years free pass. At least 3  The fail of the organization AND fan base in general, fuging shamefully short sighted,  And the choking thing, players have to fail before they succeed. With very few exceptions. Last year was really his first meaningful, high stakes game. Okay, he didn’t play well. They learn from that, or are supposed to. You don’t throw out a guy with all those tools and with his rocky did him no favors background for not being perfect right away.  He might suck in the SB, but he proved a ton this year.    If we’d have had any patience he was the guy to use it on, not Bryce Young.

      Darnolds OC when he was drafted was Jeremy Bates who was fired. He hasn’t had an nfl job since then. his next head coach was Adam gates who was fired after two years and isn’t in the league anymore. then he gets traded to the Matt Rhule panthers. His first OC was a hired WAY too early Joe Brady who was fired midseason and basically had to restart his career as a get back coach in Buffalo. then it was Jeff Nixon, who’s currently the head coach for Syracuse. the next season was the best he’d ever looked, and it was the first time he had an actual nfl offensive coordinator calling plays for him. The less said about Matt Rhule the better. then he sits a year and ends up in Minnesota and the rest is history. maybe he just had poo awful coaches for the start of his career. Maybe we should be trying to find someone who flamed out on the jets. one who’s a religious weirdo  and likes to bang married women  that’s right baby, Zach Wilson redemption tour starts now

      Your last paragraph, painful. We suffered it all with Rhule and Fitterer and were rewarded with Bryce.  I’ll stop there, I have made hundreds of posts that say what I would say if I continued. 😂
