This draft is all kinds of awesome. Noah and PJ...MIND BLOWN. First of all i thought Noah would go before 6-7 for sure and i thought PJ would be gone by 18 for sure. Both players fell into our lap. I'm stoked.

I was super stoked too. Then I realized we'd be getting the guy that most north carolina fans will over value. Not that he isn't worth the pick or isn't a good scorer/shooter. I haven't seen the guy play 1 minute of basketball.

I just get tired of UNC fans always trying to get their homer college guys on my NBA team. Even today I still have guys talking to me all the time about how we should trade MKG for Barnes. UGHHH.

I'm happy with the pick though. Hopefully he shines and blows up summer league!

It was a great trade by Cho. The Hornets needed perimeter wing shooting and P.J. Hairston was great value there. On top of that, he added another 2nd rounder. I wonder what he'll do with #45 & #55. I wouldn't recommend trading up anymore. There's not really anymore worthy picks in the 2nd round to me, at least not point guards. He should just take Semaj Christon if he's still available and gauge him in summer league and training camp to see if he's worthy of a roster spot. Christon's stock took a hit, and rightfully so, but he has game

No need to be sorry. I'm no longer a Sixers fan. I've disowned them 'for life'. Embiid will not pan out. His foot will be a chronic problem. At best, he'll have a couple of good years like Andrew Bynum with the Lakers before his knees degenerated, but with Embiid it'll be his foot. Philly is the city of almost champions. We don't have the type of fortune to gamble on three straight bigs with serious injuries in three straight years and expect different results

I'm pretty excited about getting Hairston, and i'm a Duke fan. I just thought he was solid in the NBDL and he has some real potential if he can focus.

.....and it begins lol.

Love the pick but we all knew he was this type of person. Let's hope when it comes time for work, he shows up, and he shows up to work.

I always wonder why teams randomly gift superior players to division rivals.

Well then, welcome the Hornets war wagon. *upgrades MrKIA from junior member to full member*

(I think Philly is on the right path, personally)

This was a nice pick up at 26. Should help right away if he stays out of trouble. I think Kyle Anderson was BPA but I don't even want to entertain the thought of Clifford trying to figure out where he would have played so I'm good with PJ.

Fair warning though: My nickname for PJ is Cro Magnon b/c he has an immense supra orbital ridge and robust frame. Not being mean, it's been my nick for him for awhile.

I use to work for a late night food place called B-Skis. Delivered food to Hairston once. He didn't leave a tip despite delivery being free.

It will be hard to root for a tar heel but as long as he makes his shots then I think I'll live.

I just cant for the life of me figure why we helped Miami out though. :confused:
