So it is a little early but right now it's looking like our pick will be between 11 and 15 unless something crazy happens. Where do you see our needs and who do you like in this draft.

We are going to really need a PF and I like PJ Washington from Kentucky. He is a 2 year player which mean he is a bit more polished and should be able to come in and make an immediate impact. He has a really long wingspan and has been improving as a 3 point shooter. I think he would pair very nicely with Miles.

It looks like Batum is now our SG again and I don't know what the plan for Monk is anymore (I don't see any chance of us being able to re-sign Lamb and I don't think we should) but if we go with a shooting guard I really like Kevin Porter Jr and of course Coby White.

I’m thinking the same for little and white

little is a long, long way from being an nba player

white can shoot and get his own shot, but would get eaten up on def and his floor game isn’t as polished as it needs to be

I have a feeling they both may return to school to make a run at a title next year.

Coby White- same size as Jeremey Lamb NOW (so probably will fill out more)

Can play PG to let Kemba rest

But can play SG, with his PG skills, probably one of the better handles, and passing for 2Guards

Can shoot

Create his own shot

And defend 

 

 

Plus should be around our pick

tankathon has this for the hornets 
http://www.tankathon.com/hornets
I like it for the front court. 

Hornets could go in a direction with resigning Kemba and offseason trades of youngsters.
If they are going as hard for experienced help in Kemba prime. 
They could trade the rookie contracts of players and draft picks. 
If they want to keep Lamb they need to make the room in the cap space. 
As Lambs replacement, I wouldn't mind seeing Bacon play 24+ mins a year.
It seems JB will use Kemba and Batum handling the ball. 

Anyway, it's difficult to comment on the Hornets as it's messy situation.
Regarding the draft picks. 

I'm afraid of Hornets drafting guards, most draft picks haven't worked out period. 
Next draft im liking 
6'6'' Culver
6'6'' Keldon
6'5'' Nickeil (would have been cool to have kept Shai and draft his relative also, anyways I like Miles)

The other guards may work out but If I have to go safe I like those 3.
Maybe there are other options if trading up or down.

The forwards 9 (I prefer to pick forwards and keep Kemba handling it)
6'9'' Sekou
6'9'' KZ
6'7'' DeAndre
(I'm worried with Gonzaga picks but maybe either Rui or Clarke both 6'8'')
(Also worried with Kentucky picks but maybe PJ 6'8'')

The bigs (Maybe good value after the forwards, defensive, length, athlete, pressure on/around the rim)
6'11'' Jaxson
7'2'' Bol
there are more in the back end if we trade down etc.

Interesting to see comments what the community thinks.
I'll be watching the draft

Id love to see a 

PG: Kemba

SG: Coby

SF: Bridges

With Monk coming off the bench as the 6th man scorer like Eric Gordon is with the Rockets 

 

 

Trying not to be a homer but id really take a real hard look a Cam Johnson in the 2nd.

How this dude isnt getting more love by NBA people confuses the heck out of me (reminds me of Danny Green coming out how underrated)  He is leading the whole ACC in offensive efficiency.  He is listed at 6'9 and playing the 3, but I think he is closer to 6'10.  He towers over other guys listed 6'8 (kinda reminds me when Texas listed Durant at 6'10). Dude would make one hell-of-a option as a stretch 4.

Dude is 

Putting right up at 17 points 6 reb playing less than 30 min a game.  He's shooting 47% from 3 and 51% from the field

I don't get it either.  Feel like he's going to sneak into the late 1st or be really early 2nd.  The Danny comp even makes me think a smart team like the Spurs would grab him, and make the rest of the league look foolish for passing on him. 

His age, injury history, and lack of perceived athleticism maybe hurting him?  Would be a 2nd round steal

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
