No way!

Come on you just need a fresh perspective...

Nate Hinton - this guys m.o. is grabbing loose balls so should be great in the locker room badaboom

Kaleb Wesson - imagine if we drafted Jalen Smith 32 & Kaleb Wesson 56? Smith & Wesson see what I did there?

less than a week till draft night the possibilities are endless

get hype!

I LOVE what you did there as well but whats more interesting is that both guys can actually SHOOT haha.

We draft SMITH, WESSON AND KILL-ian How deadly of a draft that would be haha.

As do I, but it sounds like there's a better chance he goes top 20 than falling into round 2.

Question:

Who is the prospect you are sick of hearing about?

And...

Who is the prospect you wish you were hearing more about?

If there is one player I could name that never gets mention on this board that I think we will regret not drafting that player is

Mason Jones.

Due to me being a Isaiah Joe fan and him being on the same team as Jones leads me to never mention the guy.

My top 5 sleeper regrets on us passing are

Ty'Shon Alexander
Mason Jones
Skylar Mays
LaMar Stevens
Rayshaun Hammonds (who I think is the best Center in this draft)

I guess given the year 2020 that answer is most appropriate

Wesson has the longest standing reach and excelled at the combine 3pt shooting drills. Surely he goes before 56

FWIW, these are the draft workouts I found that the Hornets took part in (limit of 10 this year):

Ball
Edwards
Wiseman
Toppin
Jayden Scrubb (JuCo POTY)

Notably, many agents are telling players not to reveal who they worked out for. That includes Okongwu and Avdija. Also, I know Hayes did a Zoom interview with the team, not sure if that coincided with a workout.

I mentioned in the Hayes thread that he has been working out with Bacon, not sure if that is assisting Charlotte or not.

I was active for a bit there after the lottery, but then retreated back because there's only so much more I can research/discuss about this draft class.

Got very invested in the lead up to the election, and then several days of tabulating results... but once we got like a week with no concession I started getting caught back up on here.

I am excited though about the draft! Every class in my lifetime (and likely before 1990, too; didn't feel like looking any further) has had at least 3 All-Stars*. So I'm pretty confident they'll be coming away with a good player, should they stay in the top 3.

*This obviously doesn't include the last two drafts, though 2018 already has 2.
