History says that Williams will be a bad pick... I get the size and talents but a guy projecting to be end of the first that rapidly rises to the #4 pick in just a few weeks, those guys never turn out

A sixth man that averaged 9 points a game going fourth?

I get he has sexy measurables but surely production comes into it a bit?

Lots of Warriors coverage after their pick

Thus far no coverage of the Hornets

Expecting a commercial break soon


Okay we got a couple of minutes... now they're talking about some trades that have nothing to do with the draft.

Beats a commercial I guess

Sources got this Cleveland pick wrong, since 4PM it was locked in as 1. Edwards 2. Wiseman 3. Ball 4. Williams 5. Toppin

Patrick Williams gives me big time Dominic McGuire vibes

Not that their games are similar

More in the "I don't know who the **** he is" sense

Haliburton, Hayes and Okongwu are better picks than the last two IMO.

Maybe he will fall to us at pick 56

when are the trades coming? Atlanta want win now pieces to keep Trae happy. They've already invested $28 mill in centres

It's been a great night so far. Thank you fellow HORNET fans for making this possible. You guys truly are amazing. I think we will keep pick 32 since we have LaMelo but we will probably sell pick 56

Lots of really bad technical issues with the NBA virtual draft.

The NFL virtual draft was really smooth. I expected, given the opportunity for them to learn from what other virtual drafts did before them, that the NBA virtual draft would be much, much better.

I really wanted Wiseman, but Ball does not seem like a bad pick at all. I hope karma pays back for what it did to us with MKG in 2012.

Also, they have never talked more about the Hornets in Spanish media (even with Willy) in the last days due to the possibilities of having LaMelo here, so if it gives us a bit more relevance, I'm up for it.
