Bleacher Report Mock

4. Charlotte Hornets: Khaman Maluach (Duke, C)

this dude shouldnt be picked in the top 10 and they have the Hornets taking him 4th.

VJ Edgecombe no matter what

Trying to fool them into drafting him. Hint, MJ isn't in charge any longer, hopefully this org is not that stupid.

The pick will be either VJ or Kon depending on how chips fall know how the hornets operate. 

I am fine with either personally, hope this is the way it goes.  Passing on Bailey if he is there is really risky with his ridiculous upside but the Hornets need high floor guys that can play now

I have Charlotte trading back to 7 with the Pelicans and drafting Maluach. Williams getting traded and Alvarado coming back along with other pieces. 

 

Hornets front office really like Maluach and he seems to be the target they want but not at 4.

I have been watching these guys for a while now and I like Kon, VJ and also Tre for that matter.  But I put on Ace Bailey it’s a different level.  That dude can easily be the best player out of this draft.  His upside is ridiculous.  His shot making at that size is nuts.  Put him at the 2 or 3 and he will have growing pains but whatever.  I think he can be great and it won’t take long.

I am convinced a lot of mocks just use Charlotte teams to get certain players to other markets

Not a stretch because the league actually does use us to facilitate players to bigger markets.  We’re the “just happy to be here” franchise.

Lamelo Ball come on down, Boston Celtics on line 4. 

Yeah, seeing a ton of talk that we’re listening to offers for him.  Going back to LJ, Mourning, Kobe, Eddie Jones, Baron, and now Lamelo.  It always follows the same playbook.  Media hypes and pumps “potential blockbuster” deals with our star player to the big markets/media darling teams. the smoke machine keeps churning.  Then it’s rumored we are entertaining said offers (even if there was never talks or substance to the rumors).  Then finally, we make a shitty deal that realistically only benefits the big market/media darling, get poo on, then languish in continued mediocrity with the added insult of having no star player whatsoever.  Wash, rinse, repeat.

    • Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?
    • He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
