What players do you expect to be there at 24

For all of you draft experts, name your top 5 players that you think have a realistic shot at being there when we pick at 24.  Also name your one "won't be there guy" that you think and hope might fall on draft night to us.  Try to pick someone who at least has a small chance of falling.

Top 5

Guice, Hurst, Jackson, Green, Hernandez

Might fall:  Davenport

No clue. There's a handful of players I'd love to have that I'm pretty sure will be gone (Bradley Chubb, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Detain James, etc) but at 24 there will likely be a couple of players go that we thought would be there and maybe we'll get lucky and have a couple of guys there who we thought would be gone. Prior to the combine I thought Josh Jackson was a slam dunk top 15 pick but after looking really raw in on-field drills I think there's a decent chance he's there. If he is I hope we don't even hesitate. Draft him.

As am I, unfortunately I think he will be the first corner taken. 

Eh. Josh Jackson had a "disappointing combine" so he may just be where we're around.

Denzel Ward's who I expect to be one of the first off the board. He's got all the measurables for it too. I can see Josh Jackson falling more so than not, and I'd love him.

Unless we trade up about 10 picks, there's not a chance we land him. 23 teams won't pass.

Ronnie Harrison.  The Falcons caught flak after “reaching” for Neal but are damned glad they did now.  Harrison is a beast and may not make it past the Steelers at 28, but will be there at 24.  Take him.

I like Harrison, but I'd honestly rather have Reid. He's just the harder type of safety to find and the exact type of safety that we need. Those sideline to sideline center fielder deep cover guys are hard to find. Not sure I'd spend a 1st rounder on an in the box thumper like Harrison. Harrison is avoiding running and doing agility drills like the plague. He's slow and stiff and he's smart enough to know it. That doesn't mean he can't be a very good NFL player (Kam Chancellor) but it does mean he's not the type of player that you take in the 1st round and maybe not even the 2nd.

    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
