What about toppin from Dayton....that kid can flat out shoot

He is great offensively no question. If we got him I would be fine.  Heels fan here and I am not being homer whatsoever but people are ignoring Cole Anthony somewhat here.  Dude can flat out fill it up.  He is going to make a team look like geniuses.

was always wondering if we could package our two 2nd round picks and move back up to get him.. but he seems to be rising into the late-mid lottery and out of reach of us hoping back up.. I don't see us trading down unless Edwards and Wiseman are gone at #3 - and in that case, I'd still be fine with taking Okongwu..

Cole would fill a position of need as a backup PG.. especially if we trade away Rozier for something.. idk, so many options and things moving around now..

I don't see it with Okongwu. His game reminds me way too much of Bismacks game.

tbh, I don't see the similarity.. Biz was an old school 90s Big that would be exposed on the perimeter by guards and was just in there for rebounding and shot blocking.. Okongwu actually has post moves that Biz never developed and agility to defend on perimeter.. oh and he can catch a pass without bobbling it.. EVERY.. FUGGIN.. TIME..

ughhhh - can you tell my frustration with Biz?? He was a nice, great dude to have in locker room but so glad he is gone..

Same. I couldn't stand him. Reminds me of the enigma that is Teddy B. Sigh.

Not sure why so many are down on Ball here, he has star potential. His loud mouth dad shouldn’t deter us from drafting him.

I actually love Okongwu at 3.  This guy has some Chris Webber to his game especially if he improves the outside range.  He is a great defender right away as well.  He is ascending bigtime and could absolutely end up being better than Wiseman.

if Edwards and Wiseman are gone by #3 - i think we draft Ball and trade him to whoever want to pick Okongwu for us and give us something to sweeten the deal.. vet big man or wing defender

Seeing the T-Wolves are STILL undecided on Edwards or Ball. No kidding.

I have no opinion on Ball the ballplayer, have not seen one game and only highlights. Just his pops is a cancer and has no control. That alone gets a No form me. Jordan already is the best at tearing down this team, dont need another force of nature destroying this org.

Supposedly, Charlotte is enamored with Ball.

I hope thats mainly smoke for getting teams to trade up for him. Ball in Chitown or NYC would be the best for everyone. Again I can not comment on Balls game. You got any links for charlotte draft takes? I did some goggle news stuff, to try and learn about the draft.

I don’t think I’ve watched any tape of Lamelo since his early high school days. Can anyone give me a real profile on him without the bias love/hate that comes with him being a part of the Ball family ? 

[CarolinaNCSU]

Didn't the Bulls supposedly want Ball?  Maybe our "interest" in Ball is to get them to jump us to grab him, ensuring Edwards or Wiseman fall to #3. 

 

Or, swap picks with the Bulls and find a way to get Coby to Charlotte.
