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.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
