If we're going by defensive potential, doesn't Thor have the upper hand? I hope that JT reaches his potential in Charlotte.

Thor maybe a good kid but he just isn't getting much better year in year out. Poku is so much better than JT, look at Poku's ball handling for one example JT can't even move without the ball never mind with it.

In the NBA offensive players will always be valued more than all defense and no offense players. Poku is miles ahead of Thor because he doesn't hurt the team on offense when he's on the floor. I can't imagine we keep Thor past this summer

Hornets bringing him in for a workout. 6'4.5" w/o shoes at the combine, 6'11" wingspan, played forward at 236 lbs. but could probably slide down to guard thanks to his handles.

Not interested in any lowerclassmen. Take the best junior/senior/euro player available.

Another one in for a workout, listed 6'6" as a shooting guard.

Devin Carter's partner-in-crime. Listed 6'9" with a 7'1" wingspan.

i think he could be a solid vet role player. seems to really know how to play. grant could be a great mentor since they are similar in build.

I am not a Dillon Jones fan, feels like the type of guy that has no NBA skill and you are just banking on him being average at everything. I would rather take a specialist in the 2nd round who I at least know he is bringing elite shooting, elite defense etc...

This reportis kinda interesting (not sure how biased/competent is the author)

He sounds intriguing despite his size. If he's sort of a Tillman (not talking about pure profile even though they are good defense/passing bigs apparently), he could be a good pick.

The downpart is that he won't necessary have good trade value because of his age and ceiling. Another question being his ability to perform well in limited minutes (which would be the case most likely).

After watching Boston play 5 out this entire playoff run I would assume Charles Lee will want that in his bag and right now we have nobody. A few guys worth targeting to fill this role are

PJ Hall - my new number 1 target at 42
31.5% on 4.6 threes per game
40% as a junior.

Branden Carlson- 7 footer Utah
5th year senior
38% on 4.7 threes per game

Quinton Post - 7 footer Boston College
5th yr senior
43% on 3.3 threes per game

So my obligatory project big man I always end up talking up no matter how many project big men we've already got on the roster. "Youngest player in the draft"

Return to Charlotte Hornets
