Hornets Can't Escape Mediocrity

[TheRed]

College has nothing to do with it and I'm sick of UNC and Duke homers ruining threads about Duke and UNC players like there's some inherent bias.

This is akin to DG either trading away for a ton of stuff instead of taking Star or passing on Star entirely for a different player.

To be fair, Winslow was never a threat to go number one and didn't fall as far as Star did, but he was clearly the best player available at that point. Frank, though he may end up being a solid pro, fits the "Charlotte draft bust" prototype all too well, and thus everyone pounced.

Everyone wants to talk "Woe is us" about luck and circumstances, but the fact is, with trades like Vonleh and picks like Zeller and Kaminsky, Charlotte brings the bad luck on themselves.

I didn't say anything about Duke vs UNC. I think it comes down to simple local name recognition.

You can sit around being miserable if you choose. I'll go with cautious optimism.

At this rate, Winslow better be a legit future HOF talent with all the crying that's gone on in this sub forum.

I haven't even seen poo this bad months after a Panthers draft.
