MJ gives stamp of approval for Lamelo. 

I'm starting to wonder if this is BS.  I want Melo, but the flood of news about us wanting him now, the day of the draft...  it just seems a bit convenient.

Oh god, it would just be the most Hornets thing ever to take Ball.  Let's hope they don't pull the trigger for him/this is just a smokescreen.   He's a chucker who can't play defense. I don't care how gifted a passer you are, that recipe is not going to be very successful in the league and is certainly not worth the #3 overall.

No one plays defense anymore in the NBA. So, disagree.

A lot of basketball guys, not your average Joe’s like me really do like Ball and believe that he is the most talented and has the highest ceiling. I would rather have Ball than a soon to be 33 yo Russell Westbrook.

Agreed on the Westbrook point considering his contract.

All three have flaws.

Edwards is lazy, currently out of shape and just had an interview where he says he doesn't love basketball. Huge red flags if you ask me. 

Wiseman is slow laterally and will get torched on the perimeter which means you can't play him to close games or in the playoffs as teams will just take their center out of the game or play someone who can shoot. Also a big red flag.

Ball is weak physically and has a subpar shot form. I feel like both of those can be fixed with years of NBA training, so my money is on Ball to be the best out of the three. Defense will be fine because of his length and size, he'll put forth the effort when it matters. I also trust reports that Ball has been training all year on tightening his shot and he loves basketball.

I think Wiseman makes it to 3 and we draft him though.

      When you have to bring up college to defend Young after there is 16 games of tape its probably best to delete the post before hitting submit.   His college play is totally and completely irrelevant at this point.

      Yes... he threw some beautiful deep balls to Williams 3 years ago.... but he didnt do it the next year at alabama or last year in the NFL.  This has already been pointed out and serves hardly any purpose to be relevant now. Its the same as someone still posting his college highlights. Mingo couldnt make any adjustments because bryce flat out missed him.   Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls - Carolina Panthers - Carolina Huddle

      They won't draft another QB the owner loves him lol. And once they pay him his help level will decrease. What a waste of a great roster and coaching staff. The media wrote them off half way through the season last year because they were so weak against contenders. McDan will get fired after that extension when they are still not winning in the postseason and I am curious how he matures through that process. His 2nd HC gig could get someone a SB, his talent is there for sure.  The bar is so low it's in the ground. People are just losing their minds with another Tepper quality Panther year lined up while others are just doing fan things, irrational to anyone but them but that is also normal in any fandom. I go away for a bit and come back for the laughs. Poor fans, it's freaking bleak and this go around isn't much better than the last just some changes in the SSDD approach that has been the norm the last couple of years. Sign the best OGs for too much and then use scraps at center just lol.
