What are you looking for specifically? You want them to wear an oversized plain suit like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony 20 years ago?

Times change 🤷‍♂️

No, my gripe is they all look the same. I get it, they're kids. They dress what's popular. It'd be nice to see someone with some individuality.

How did we draft Melo? Williams looked solid as well? How is this possible since it’s the Hornets??

It was a 3 player draft and we had the 3rd pick. Fortunately for us Warriors went Wisemen (who we wanted over Melo btw). We basically dumb lucked our way into Melo.

And many fans wanted Wiseman while calling Melo a bust/failed pick.

I've tried to tell everyone that they were considered equal prospects by the majority of teams. 

 

It was legit the media, fans and mocks that didn't know this and got it wrong. 

 

Scoot g league tape was going to be hard for him to come back from. 

People have lost their damn minds. This is exactly like Bryce Young/CJ Stroud where people thought Stroud was the higher rated prospect just because that narrative built up when it wasn’t even reality.

Here’s a CONSENSUS big board with Brandon Miller as the CONSENSUS #2 PROSPECT based on multiple national media big boards.

But people still trying to say they drafted for fit. Just dumb af.

Brandon Miller is a Hornet.  Totally supporting this guy.  He has special talent and appears to be a bright and determined person.  I liked his interview after the pick.  He fits the team so now we have to support this guy and make sure Clifford doesn’t stunt his development by sitting him on the bench.  I would find it maddening if he doesn’t play right away.

He absolutely does not seem like a bright person.

I was on this forum the night Malik Monk dropped to us. Everyone was breaking out the party hats. We'll have to see how this plays out. 

I didn't like that pick and Monk never really acted like he wanted to be in Charlotte. That said, the coaches did jerk him around for whatever reasons they used.

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
