Three Bees in Rising Stars game

Zion gets in as an "injury-replacement" for Wendell Carter after playing 4 games. MPJ doesn't make the cut.

Refreshing since we usually always have 0 no matter where we draft

I was hoping that we would get at least one in there, but it was really surprising to get three. Maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but did we get so many just because there weren't enough other guys willing or eligible to play in this game?

I kinda expected PJ to be here but I'm surprised at Miles' inclusion.

not complaining but I can think of a half dozen young players that deserved it more than Miles this year
investigate Adam Silver

Miles Bridges was MVP! I am in Belgium, so not much chance to watch the games this weekend. How did our guys do?

That bodes well for the future. I have been impressed with Graham's passing lately. I think once he figures out how to use his passing to set up his scoring, and vice versa, it will be a thing to behold.

Doncic was just laughing on that last tomahawk dunk. It was ridiculous, as was the off-the-backboard dunk.

Can't say I'm too surprised Miles went off in a game where no defense was being played. The main reason why he's stunk his whole career is because he is too soft to attack the paint. Hopefully, it at least increased his trade value.

They didn't say a thing about any of the Charlotte players and drafted them all pretty late in their funsies mock.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Return to Charlotte Hornets
