2014 NBA Draft Thread


Recommended Posts

I hope whoever we draft or may trade for puts us in the best position to win games and he becomes that star that we need. The Hornets have a lot of momentum right now going into next season because of the name change and the new brand.We can't afford to miss on anymore picks. Right now the top 3 options I would like to see the Hornets do with the 9th pick is take Doug Mcdermott, Aaron Gordon,or i'm trading the pick.

Randle or Harris or trade imo/

Gary Harris at the least can walk into this league and defend. He has a good stroke too. He has a shot to be an all star with his comination of size, ball handling, defense, and shooting. I think we pray Randle falls and run to the podium to select him, or take Gary Harris, or trade back to the teens and take PJ

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
