The sad part is we will probably be rewarded the #1 overall pick in the weakest draft ever.

Just the luck of the Hornets.

Please trade Rozier and Hayward to a contender please. These guys are not helping us win games time to move on.

I mean moving forward since Miller's out for the season, there's no more than 5 actual NBA players suiting up right now for this team.

There's no way I'm nominating players for hammers after that pathetic performance.

With the #1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets select Zaccharie Risacher!

Every year outside of last years draft is a bad draft until the draft. I’m sure if we’re picking top 3, we are getting a good player. But if there were a draft to trade a top pick in, this might be it.

We keep our pick and draft the best shooter with above average athleticism. I don't care who it is.

Watching our clueless "athletes" I'd settle for anyone with elite shooting and feel for the game. Reed Sheppard fits the bill perfectly. Everyone will overlook him because he isn't 7'9 with a 9" wingspan and he doesn't have a 40 inch vertical but I'd consider trading down for him if he keeps up his incredible play so far and shows he can play on and off ball in the back court.

There are still some decent prospects in this draft class. No "generational" guy but we can get a good player.

After this loss, I think it's safe to say we're the 2nd worst team in the league. Although we actually have a worse point difference than the Pistons.

In more positive news, the NBA is allowing Melo to show his neck tattoo.
