Not sure what to expect tonight

I can't wait for this game. Last game Zion went against YuTa, and this game McDaniels. I feel sorry for him. He gonna get da work. They shoulda brought him along slowly instead of throwing him to the likes of my guys YuTa and McDaniels.

McDaniels had a decent 1st game. I think Clifford likes him.

My man Murphy 'finna' drop a barrage of threes on us. Taking a gamble on him at 11 doesn't look like such a reach at this point. *reclines armchair

I often agree with your picks... I was high on Murphy as well but backed off when he became POPULAR. I hate popular players lol. So I remained high on Aaron Wiggins as his replacement. This year my super sleepers are Trevon Brazile, Majave King, and Matthew Murrall.

I think I called his thread TD III or something lol.

Ha - yeah - you definitely mine the outer reaches for gold but I appreciate your long-shot love. Murphy just had so much going on for him - size & length, athleticism, a sweet shot, defensive instincts. Knock on him was motor/aggressiveness, but I chalked that up to system play.

EDIT - and for the record, I don't think I outright thought we should take him at 11 - I was joshing. Would've been a real reach. I was just really high on him and he'd look excellent in teal about right now.

Lol yeah I try to find gold and often end up with bronze lol. But I truly like Mojave King. I think the HORNETS fans here will as well. I just looked him up and barely realized he played the other day in the Scoot vs Wv game. He looked just as good as they did imo. I am not big on Vw much at all.

Let's try to contain the future draft prospects talk to the draft specific thread.

According to rotowire nba starting lineups, he is indeed out. Haven't seen his status anywhere else though.

It's like just because Plumlee is a semi-decent passer for a center he thinks he's freakin Jokic and it results in some of the most boneheaded passes

We gonna get chops busted. Zion will explode on PJ and company (will destroy McDaniels). Hope I eat my hat on this but the Spurs game was like playing JV. Pelicans are at least playoff caliber…not Bucks quality though.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Offense looks garbage but is getting bailed out by Gordon.
