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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
