He’s making up scenarios with no facts or logic to back it up..

You guys make this board exhausting to read, that’s why I never post.

Lol Brandon Ingram / Zion Williamson and #16 isn’t worth Brandon Miller and his issues.

I’m a Hornets fan and I hope it works out but damn; these message board fans are worse than our front office.

I feel like maybe you don’t understand how NBA draft trades work, or maybe even trades in general. First, you need both sides to agree to a trade. It sounds like you think the Hornets can just decide to make a trade without the trade partner’s consent. Two, you don’t take the player and bank on trading him later. You work out the trade beforehand and select for each other.

As I’m typing this I feel like I’m pissing into the wind and I’m pretty sure you’re just going to repeat the same thing again so I’m done just be pissed over this nonsense whatever.

I’m pretty sure I know a lot about this topiic (more than most),  Charlotte has a ton of expiring contracts and picks and can make a lot of deals work.

Lol..

Its not even clear if that was even offered..

1. It’s 14 NO didn’t have the 16th pick..

2. Reports are now saying that NO wasn’t offering BI or Zion.. So please don’t run with unconfirmed narratives..

Newbies making weird nonsensical narratives make this board hilarious.. 

Please keep coming and making up poo.. It’s very entertaining..lmao

Y’all dying hard over this. Scoot is literally the offensive version of MKG. He can’t shoot. Why would you want and shooting guard that can’t shoot?!

Yes, Miller is a great shooter...and great at assisting shooters!

Just brutal.  Of course they question wtf MJ was doing anywhere near this draft

Loser: Charlotte Hornets

Rodger Sherman: Nothing is less reliable than draft night fan reactions. When they hear the commissioner announce the name of the player their favorite team has just drafted, fans inevitably will cheer busts and boo future stars. But it’s definitely not good if your team has the second overall pick and everybody is mad about it. That’s what happened in Charlotte when the Hornets picked Alabama’s Brandon Miller.

I mean, even the mascot was pissed. That mascot once cheered for Cody Zeller. When you’ve lost Hugo, you’ve lost everybody!

It’s possible that Miller turns into a fine player for the Hornets. He’s 6-foot-9, a fluid athlete, and a natural shooter. Naming Paul George as “the GOAT” was something … but we’ll let it pass.

 

It does, however, seem like Charlotte’s process was flawed. First of all, GM Mitch Kupchak admitted the decision was in the hands of Michael Jordan—who not only has a famously horrible history of evaluating draft picks (the list stretches from Kwame Brown to Frank Kaminsky), but is also in the process of selling the Charlotte franchise, and has no stake in the success or failure of this pick. It also seems possible—if not probable—that the Hornets picked Miller over Scoot Henderson because Henderson is a point guard and the team already has LaMelo Ball. This isn’t football! You don’t need to worry about your depth chart with the second pick in a stacked class! You need to take the best player on the board, and most draft analysts felt that was Henderson, not Miller. The Hornets fan base seems to agree.

I wanted Scoot but I am fine with Miller. We needed a shooter and he does have good size. The reason I like this pick better than when it was first announced was how happy Lamelo was that we picked him. He facetimed him and seems to really like him. 

Now, I do like the other picks as well. Overall, nice draft just not flashy since we didn't go with Scoot.

Are we pulling draft grades now?  Spoiler alert, they aren't going to align with many people on here.  I've seen mostly As and Bs...

He's tall, but he couldn't attack the rim against college kids before he lost 13 pounds to mono.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
