There was talk earlier that Kings wanted to trade up to get McLemore. You're welcome Kings.

Bass, I get you but I am tired of rooting for outsider and Zeller with his physical limitations will be esence of it, put him next to NBA big body and it will look almost unfair.

It is only right for Pelicans to have featherweight frontcourt

What i like about Zeller:

- good defenssive IQ
- good p&r defender...very very good
- runs the floor very well
- versatile scorer
- can shoot from distance
- strong
- can put it on the floor
- good upside

What i don't like:

- questionable if his game translates to NBA
- ability to finish against stronger/longer defenders and NBA defense

The only big guy to work out for us or the only player to work out for us?

@rick_bonnell: Reaction at the Bobcats draft party to Zeller selection: A chant of "Bobcats suck.'' Really.

Nerlens Noel went 6th for the New Orleans Pelicans but Pick made for someone else. #NBADraft

I don't hate Zeller. I hate that we passed on Noel and McLemore. So much for Cho drafting for talent.
