The Best Draft in Hornets History

Out of all the NBA drafts the Hornets have participated in, the one that I think is the most surprising is the Historically BAD 2000 NBA Draft.

This was the year the Hornets selected Jamaal Magloire #19th overall. Not a flashy name in the history books of the NBA but he just so happens to be one of the only 3 Allstars from the sea of trash that was the 2000 NBA Draft. Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd were the three. There were other players like Mike Miller and Jamaal Crawford and Hedo Turkoglu that have played on some quality teams- but if you sift through the names- it's hard to believe that we were one of the teams to actually get it Right! Maybe by chance, well, more than likely by chance, but we were actually the clear cut winners of this draft looking back.

I just think we can't get a Top 3 pick in a draft with a at least two can't miss guys.  That's what it comes down to.  When we drafted Okafor, only 1 can't miss guy in Dwight.  When we drafted MKG, Anthony Davis was the only can't miss guy in the draft.  This year if we drafted 2nd, we would've taken Jahlil.  The 2nd (or third in the Lakers eyes) best prospect and a can't miss in the draft.  Just bad luck I suppose.

Best Hornets pick was 'Zo in '92. LJ was obvious. But if you consider 'Zo obvious too it has to be Baron Davis.

Best Bobcats pick would be either Emeka or Kemba.

for value for the Bobcats, I'm easily going with Dudley. 

 

Sadly, Emeka and Kemba might be the Bobcats best ever drafted players and both were/are just kindof average players.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
