Really liking Cody Williams more and more. Starting to think he ends up going 1 or 2.

1. Cody Williams
2. Zaccharie Risacher
3. Ron Holland
4. Ja'Kobe Walter
5. Alex Sarr
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Welp this is a first. My pick for the first pick in the 2024 draft is 100% in as of today. That means that I cannot change my pick at all as far as our first pick goes... If I do you guys have the right to say NOPE your pick is already in lol. My pick is BuB Carrington.

It seems

is high on him as well. I just think he can provide so much for us. Great size and can play multiple spots. Could give us insurance on Melo and and awesome replacement for Rozier.

Hey guys BuB Carrington plays tonight against dook on ACC NETWORK at 8:00. Good test for him on the road... He played well against my TAR HEELS earlier stat wise with 20 pts, 4 rebs, 2 ass. That was the only other time I saw him play. I will be a tough road game for him.

The draft I most want is Carrington with the first pick and hope that Bobi Klintman or De Silva fall to us with pick 2.

This is him his first game of the season which he had a triple double

Hey guys reminder the game comes on in a few on ACC network at 8:00.

My dream draft is that we take BuB with the first and the 2nd we take

Bobi Klintman. He looks so improved. SIDE NOTE - I didn't know Naithan George was playing tonight. I like him for next year.

BuB Carrington has foul trouble but I really like his game. Very good defensively, creates for teamates, has a great shooting stroke (although it doesn't go in much lol) and only 18 years old. High IQ and plays both positions comfortably. I think he should be the pick. High upside

Eligible to play for Kentucky now and had a strong debut. A bit late in the season, but what are the odds he establishes himself as the top pick in 24? Would be somewhat similar to Kyrie going #1 in what was said to have been a weak draft after playing like less than 10 games.

Yes I am a big fan of his. I posted about him a few times in last years draft but I was too lazy to find out how to spell his name so I didn't bother to find it to post for this years lol. But he was the other big I want us to draft besides Klintman for the 2nd pick if he is there. Very athletic and runs the floor well. A steal imo.

This is what we need. A center that wants to be physical and box somebody out every time down the floor. Also helps being 7'3'' and 300 lbs. Dude has 60 lbs on Mark

Love that old school jump hook with either hand. He will be a handful to guard at the next level, but team has to be dedicated to a suitable style. He’s athletic but can’t see him lasting long in fast sprint mode.

BIG Z. Wasn’t on my radar which frankly hasn’t been turned on much, but oh my what a wild card possibility for the woeful Hornets! Could be a perfect fit at the 4 once he gains added muscle, but great looking shot, shot blocking, fundamentals for rebounding, and some amazing passing chops.

I WANT :D

The only two players I really like in the top ten are Cody Williams and Reed Shepard. I doubt we draft Reed because of LaMelo, but Cody Williams is going to end up a top 3 pick if not number 1. I’d say he might have went 2 last year if his season this year was last year (difficult call).

Anyways, I’m surprised he’s not getting attention. He’s be a perfect fit here. Ball, Miller, C. Williams, Bridges, and M. Williams is a lot of length and skill set.

With Euros I’m “okay” with but it’s a crap shoot. I don’t want anyone from Ignite. I’m seeing the evidence they just don’t develop players.

Cody Williams is the guy.

Miller/Williams we are set at the wings with size and athleticism both can shoot as well.

Melo has his wings and his lob threat Mark Williams.

Jakobe Walter should be the pick.

I don’t understand how you take Walter over Williams. I’ve watched a lot of both and I’m curious about the reasons. Williams just dominates. He has insane efficiency and is the ideal SF here with Miller at the 2. Walter is very streaky and I just don’t see it.

I admittedly haven't seen enough of Williams yet to base a comparison. I just like Walters game.

I'll start watching more of Williams though.

Please watch him. He's no superstar, but the dude just plays smooth just like Miller. Would be nice to have 2 long wings who can both do similar things.

I like Cody Williams and Sarr so far. Williams would fit great next to Miller and we could have 2 high end prospect wings on the floor at the same time.
