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.
