The Official Draft Thomas Robinson Bandwagon Thread

If we don't get the 1, I'd be happy with Robinson, MKG, or Beal. I wish we were in the Hornets position and had 2 1st round picks. There are some good players to be had in this draft.

It's just a matter of time bro!

And the Charlotte Hornets select........

Can't fuging wait

robinson is the only player with a real motor in the top 10

Not a Robinson fan but you're right about this considering where you may put Zeke. Zeller runs the floor exceptionally for a big man. One of the best I've ever seen and no doubt will be a good NBA player.

Regarding TR:

He's tough and gives a lot of effort. Pretty good around the outside considering his size, too.

A couple things that bug me about him though. 1. He rode the bench at KU before last season. 2. I honestly think he has peaked physically. 3. Not a franchise player to build around. Reminds me so much of DaJuan Blair.

I know MKG is probably going to be the pick, but aside from Anthony Davis, a lot of these Kentucky guys recently scare me. MKG was basically Davis' clean up crew.

Right now, and my mind can change, I'd pick Beal at #2.

like kemba and ammo, i don't think beal's game translates to the NBA as well. from what I see, there are 3 players in this draft that are better than the rest, and each of them have their question marks

anthony davis - offensive game, strength

robinson - low ceiling

harrison barnes - no motor

the rest look like they could be solid players, but those are the three i could see becoming perennial all stars if they buckle down when they get to the pros

i think barnes is the most likely of the 3 to be a bust, but he could just as easily be the best of the three 10 years from now

definitely do not want MKG. he's probably going to be a good NBA player, just not elite like the other three have the potential to be

    • 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.
