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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
