No. 26 Pick: P.J. Hairston

[RoaringRiot]

Also, I can't say enough how laughable it is that a guy who advertises his football parties on a message board is taking issue with an athlete holding a draft celebration. I mean, really dude? Okay, lol.

 

You're so ridiculous. There isn't a post you make that isn't off topic or takes things out of proportion. You really have a problem.

Here's the thing- the kind of things that get you in trouble in college wont get you in trouble in the NBA (as far as I recall, he was never charged with anything through all his shenanigans).  He has never let this stuff affect his play on the court, and as long as he keeps things this way he will be a nice asset for the team.

 

Plus, the great thing about taking him where we did late in the 1st round means he still isnt guaranteed much.  Right now he has a 2 year $2 mil contract, and the only way he can get more is to play well

PJ for ROTY

[MedellinHeel]

I fuggin love this pick. PJ is an ideal SG and can get hot in hurry. He needs to be starting day 1. 

 

The only knock on him is his handle could be a bit tighter. Surprisingly though he is pretty good at the jab step and hard dribble to get into the lane.

Since when is he the only athlete drafted in a major sport to hold a draft party?

I'm sorry, but I would definitely have to say you are overthinking this one.

Yup, Cam does this stuff. Most of the young athletes do.

I'd be throwing a big fuging party if I just became a millionaire too.

I mean I did it when selected 3 overall in the Badminton Australian draft circa 2007.

I love how PJ handles pressure in his face when shooting.  It just doesn't seem to phase him, at all.  Also, he isn't shy about driving it in.  I agree, I'd like to see him starting day one.

PJ could live off of a diet of cocaine and jack daniels and would still be a better player than Henderson. Idc what he does outside of basketball as long as he shows up to work.

Slight edit to correct your statement.

I want to thank PJ for screwing up last summer and thus, getting kicked off of the UNC team.  If he were to have played at UNC last year, he would have been a top 10 pick.  Kid can straight ball, and will be the starting SG by the end of this coming season.  He is a bulldog.

That is why people are worried.  His decisions off the court cost him his college eligibility, and his ability to "show up for work" at Chapel Hill.  

 

The good thing is, that if he does continue to be a knucklehead, the Hornets can part ways with him and all that has been wasted is a late 1st round draft pick.

Late,  But i cant believe we got PJ!!! The guy i wanted all along with the second first rounder too! Gonna admit didnt know that much about Vonleh but watching him play i see the All star potential and glad to have him too.
