Paul Silas' Draft History


Porn Shop Clerk

Recommended Posts

I haven't seen this brought up or discussed anywhere since everyone wants to hang picks on Jordan's head, but I was doing a little looking around today and compiled a few things I think are of interest concerning Paul Silas' draft record:

1998: 19th overall, Ricky Davis

50th overall, Andrew Betts

1999: 3rd overall, Baron Davis

43rd overall, Lee Nailon

2000: 19th overall, Jamaal Magloire

2001: 16th overall, Kirk Haston

After that, in Cleveland he drafted Lebron (can't really give him credit for that pick), Jason Kapono and Luke Jackson.

Overall not bad at all.

B Davis was his best draft pick IMO. I really used to love that guy in his first years here. I still remember when he dunked on KG on a open court fast break his rookie season.

Cosign Davis has always been one of my favorite players to watch .

Hopefully Silas has more say than MJ although MJ likes Kemba and I am a fan as well.

Was at the game, the place went crazy.

Kirk Haston was an awful pick.

This, I think, is the best youtube clip of the Hornets:

Lee Nailon and Eddie Robinson...I remember them lol. They were some pretty decent players. I always thought Nailon was going to be a star, but he never panned out.

Back when the Hornets were here, I remember every game I would go to, Baron would make some amazing play. He was my favorite player for the longest; atleast until Paul came in the league. I still remember being in the Hive when they decided to sport the headbands for the playoffs. Big Elden Cambpell in a headband :rofl:

Silas wont be the man making the call. He will have input, but no where near the input that Larry Brown had(Which was wayyy too much).

MJ and Higgins will select who they feel fits in the best. There are rumors on BobcatsPlanet that the Cats could deal 1 or both 1st rounders and Augustin for Steph Curry which would be a fantastic deal.....especially considering the jersey sales and the fact most fans would forget Wallace if Curry was brought in as the face of the franchise.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
