Thor and Kia both need more strength. I think Thor could be a 3-D player. If Kia could reach say Jaxson Hayes level that would be a win for the organization. Bouknight is the mystery to me. If the Hornets select the  kid form Kansas what will happen to him?...The new coach will determine alot..

Oh no I think Kia could be way better then Jaxson Hayes..

Shooting for Jaxon level is a mistake and selling him short... When KiA  already a more skillful player ..

And if we're lucky the draft picks or 1 pick can be used in a deal to get a veteran big or get rid of Haywards contract..

Boukight needs to be developed he is way to talented to give up on now..

While I agree Bouknight is talented I thought Durate or Moses Moody should have been the pick. The Hornets need positional size. We already have a undersized shooting guard in Rozier. Like it's been stated on the fourm numerous times I get Monk 2.0 vibes from him. I hope I'm wrong. One of those 1st round picks should be for a vet. IMO the Hornets don't need to get too much younger. I would love to see Malcom Brogdon on this team.  A true pro. His affect would be similar to CJ McCollum with the Pelicans

Boukight is 6'5 that is perfect size for a modern SG..

Duarte is only a inch taller..

While his stats say he 6"5 he looked smallish when he was on the court. Boukinght is a talent no doubt that. I hope my feelings about him change. It won't be the first time I was wrong. I think Thor and Kai is more of what we need. Nice long athletic players with a chance to help us improve defensively

Bouknight is 6'4", Moody and Duarte are 6'5". Not much of a difference there. Monk is 6'3".

Great thread. The commom denominator  between all of them is probably strength then shooting. Bouknight is just a better 3pt shooter away from being the opposing teams nightmare in the league every night. Thor can be a really good 3 and D guy as well.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
