I've seen this heralded as a two player draft, so that means the Hornets will pick 3rd, just missing the good talent.

We all know this going to happen. Wemby and scoot are generational players.

I don't know if I would say they're generational players, but yep, the NBA won't allow the Hornets to get a top player.

The way they have the lottery set up now makes it extremely easy to rig and not ever get questioned about it. The 4th worst record only has a 1.5% lower chance at the #1 pick than the 3 worst records, the 5th worst record only has a 3.5% lower chance. The NBA is fuging atrocious, they care so little about parity and bad teams turning things around and meanwhile the teams with the stars literally cheat fans out of money by sitting their whole team for a game at the last minute after fans have already paid money to see the stars.

I would be elated if we got the #1 pick but nothing anyone could say can make me believe the NBA would actually want it to happen. Not since the 90's??? With our record over the years including the Bobcats? They hate Charlotte.

The refs either must feel sorry for the Hornets or they're trying to keep things sort of close for Vegas.

Could have been a little of both.

This is one of the many reasons I am slowly but surely losing interest in the NBA.

Just seems to be the way things break for the Hornets and the NBA doesn't seem to realize that having stars on every team increases the health(profitability) of every team and the league itself. So yeah, I could see that happening.
