Hornets NBA Draft News Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm honestly torn between Bennett and Oladipo. 2 weeks ago Bennett was my guy. The injury and weight gain is concerning. Oladipo can do a little bit of everything, and while he may never average 20 a game, he is going to be able to contribute immediately and contribute on both ends of the court. I still think Burke is the only potential superstar out of all the guys being discussed. That's not to say that someone may still strike gold in the late 1st or 2nd round. 

 

Do not want Len. I know he would fill a need, but he's still raw and is already having foot problems. 

 

For me:

 

1. Bennett

1A Oladipo

 

really hope Burke isn't there. Gotta pick him if he is.

I can almost guarantee it'll be Zeller at 4. Typical Charlotte Bobcats.

 

he's getting a lot of buzz lately around here that's for sure. I would be okay with Zeller if we traded down and were able to acquire another pick in this draft. 

 

I've said this 100x now, I'm not sold on a lot of these big guys being discussed in the 1st round. I wouldn't touch Plumlee or Olynyck. Too many red flags with Noel. What position will Zeller play in the NBA? How durable and raw is Len? 

 

I dunno man

I will kill someone if we take Zeller at 4. Trading down, I'd be fine or will try to convince myself it's okay.

Zeller will play the 4, and I think he can be good there.  He compares himself to someone like Aldridge, etc.  He won't be a 5 so we'll still have a need there.  Zeller at #9 after trades is good, #4, IDK.  Then again this draft is weak, every pick is almost a risk, if there's a draft to go risky, it's this one.

I'm not a big Zeller fan, but fug it we need some big men who can score and he does that.  Hell he could end up being the best big guy in the draft with the injury problems the other guys have

 

This is true.  Zeller seems to be only one that is truly healthy right now and from I remember, pretty durable.  There IS something to be said about that.  He was one of the few guys that could actually work out for us.  I also heard he was draining 3's like no other during workouts and really impressed.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
