I know the East is a pretty poor conference but I gotta say, this season doesn't appear to be a fluky one for us.

 

  • Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson have really stepped up to make this a formidable squad. You can just see it in the way Kemba plays..he's really brought his game this year and Big Al is just a dominant force.  
  • The team has strong role players. Particularly in Hendo. A Good 6th man to have in a lineup.
  • And a very important point: I think we found a coach to have for a bit in Clifford

 

If they can just hit the mark on a draft for once, we could have a very solid Charlotte Hornets next season with 4-5 seed potential.  There was a mini slide recently but our wins this past month or so have really given me confidence in this team.  I like what is forming and it's sweet to have good basketball back in the QC.   

 

My 2 cents.

There isn't an electrifying young star like Larry Johnson or Baron Davis, but this team is very fun to watch as a whole. Kemba is pretty exciting and is a very good player but I don't think he has the high ceiling those guys had. Big Al isn't flashy but he is a flat out monster. He is big time and elite. Other than LeBron & Durant there isn't any other player leaps & bounds better than Big Al. Clifford is a good coach and has them playing great team basketball.

I agree.  Detroit needs to just keep losing and we can definitely get someone good in the draft.

I too like where this team is headed.  If all things continue trending the way they have been, the official "Bobcats" may get a playoff victory or two before the name is retired into NBA history forever.  I have often wondered how long it will take for the nation to forget there ever was a Bobcats.  Looking back, it will be like the Hornets started here in the 80's and never left. lol

Kemba and Big Al are 2 players we can build around for sure. I'm excited about the Charlotte Hornets 2.0 !!

 

Sign Heyward and if the Pistons pick is #9 and we get the rights to it we can draft a very solid player or even use our other pick to trade up for one of the top picks.

 

Just feel this team's in a lot better shape now than a year ago, I have faith Cho and Co. know how to put together a winning program.

 

Hell, even Cody Zeller has turned a corner and could end up being a very reliable player.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
