I had an OT picked...and was pissed like I said.

I knew the pick once the trade was shown as commencing, but the Stewart pick will and continue to be a head scratcher. Honestly it was higher than Stewart was going in most mocks and expert's boards.

I predicted we would draft Stewart in December (4 months before the draft).. and also made the thread at that time named "Jonathan Stewart".. Delhommey is the only one that would remember that. So I wasn't all that surprised, but I did want Clady, and was pissed when the Broncos took him. I was expecting the Panthers to take Chris Williams, but was pumped when they took JStew.

Yeah...I was a little perturbed when Clady went right before us...and was torn on what might happen, knowing Chris Williams had some issues surrounding him. Otah was next on my plate, but when Stewart I was like wtf and started two fisting beer.

every offseason there are sixty thousand threads about different college players. most of you who happened to start a jonathon stewart thread happened to hit the jackpot and get lucky.

in a year or two we'll have posters scanning this offseason's thread archives trying to remember what college players they started threads about so they can brag about it later.

none of us are reporters or analysts so why try to brag about your predictions? :rolleyes:

..as for my actual reaction, i was definitely surprised, but i tried to keep an open mind about it. once we traded back into the first for Otah i knew exactly what we were doing.

I remember another guy who had a mock draft at around the time I first predicted that we would take Stew. His thread was actually way better than mine. He had an incredible amount of info on Stew and some other prospects.

    • Of course, everyone has film. That is probably fresh in their mind though. Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
