I've been sitting on this discussion for awhile and had meant to make it back when Hairston lost his eligibility at UNC. We need to take this guy. He is going to be a scorer and a straight up dawg every night when he gets to the league.

As a reminder that I should make this thread, Hairston dropped 40 last night in second game in the d-league, lol. Do what it takes to draft him. I said the same thing about Dwight Howard, Chris Paul over Felton and MAYonnaise, and Steph Curry when we were within reasonable distance to do so. Any of those picks could've dramatically changed our franchise's course, but we always made the wrong decision.

Hairston is a dawg - a winner, a fierce competitor, a bad ass dude. All these other guys that have been up for discussion as the top pick are soft ass kids. We need to do what it takes to draft Hairston, that is the bottom line. Trust me.

If he's in the D-League, does he have to be drafted?

And I don't want to put too much stock in two d-league games

In his situation, yes you do. Similar to what happened with Glen Rice Jr. last season. He got kicked out of GT and he decided to play in the d-league but missed being able to declare himself for the draft BEFORE starting the college season. So, in that situation, if they lose their eligibility or are kicked out mid-season, they have to wait to declare for the next draft and play in the d-league for the time being, or they can go overseas. So, yeah they're still considered an amateur to some degree and have to be drafted.

And as I said, this post wasn't concerning his two NBDL games, I intended to make it around the time he was ruled out by UNC. I felt he was a legit prospect following last season. Now, his performance in the NBDL is further proof of that... Roy Williams had said a couple weeks back that Hairston was looking like the best perimeter player he has ever seen in his time at UNC, IIRC.

I question his drive. Of course he's gonna play his hardest in the D-League. He just got kicked from UNC and his draft stock plummeted with everything that went on. He's honestly a douche and a dumbass, and I personally don't think I'd want him on my team.

 

However, I do think that he can be a solid scorer of the bench in the NBA.

If we don't get him, I hope we can land Marcus Paige, James Michael McAdoo or Brice Johnson

I'm a HUGE UNC fan and I wouldn't touch McAdoo... He's too soft

 

Paige and Johnson have a higher upside though.. Think I'd take Brice over Marcus just based on Paige's inconsistency

 

I would not hesitate to take Hairston in the first at all

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
