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.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
