Draft thoughts

It looks like the Hornets have decided not to tank and make another run at it with our currently constructed team. 

Miles Bridges and Hami Diallo are both extremely athletic players. We were severely lacking explosive players. Bridges will play right away and will push MKG for starting at the SF position. Diallo will spend the next year or so in Greensboro. He has a ton of potential which is one thing that I really like. 

Devonte Graham is a senior floor general who is a great shooter and can also pass. He isn't a big PG or have great athleticism but can be a great leader on the 2nd unit in the future. I still believe we use the MLE for a backup PG. 

Arnoldas Kulboka is the Hornets first draft and stash player. I am excited that we finally did that. He is long and lanky. He has great shooting and can handle. He is very skinny and won't contribute for at least 2 years and who knows if ever but I like that we finally did this. 

I'm hoping to see a lot of the following small ball lineup: Kemba, Monk, Batum, Bridges, Zeller

Ok forget the take about Diallo. Looks like he was traded to OKC

I view Graham like a smaller Delon Wright who can actually play away games.  I like his movement and feel on offense.

I like the 2 picks fill immediate needs day 1.. 

Now go get a decent center and get rid of Batum or MKG.

Yeah I’m happy with this draft. We replace MKG with a far better all around player and seemingly set our backup point guard for the foreseeable future. Who knows what Kulboka turns into but if all goes according to plan then he will probably be joining the team about the time we are hoping to take things to the next level. 

 

We definitely filled some needs and the team is better tonight that it was this morning... I’m all for it.
