I haven't see much Rocco Zikarsky, he seems like a solid 7'1 dude, but nothing blew my hair back.

I want Danny Wolf. The Jewish Jokic

I just love smart big men who can create with the ball.

If he played defense he’d be legitimately perfect for this roster. Let’s hope to see that develop.

Ace Bailey looks similar to Brandon Miller with more athleticism.

Wouldn't mind him running with Melo/Miller. We would have to get lucky to get a top 2 pick because I don't think he last past the 2nd pick.

Deserves a look in the 2nd. 6'9" 20 y.o. junior, shoots threes, averaging 10 rebounds per.

As long as whomever we pick can shoot a basketball im down.

If players keep getting injured we might end up with Bailey or Harper. I could live with that.

Tyrese Proctor has become a knockdown shooter. Encouraging for a 6'5 pg.

Struggles defensively. Can shoot the piss out of the ball now. He won't come out this year but as a senior I'd take him with a 2nd round pick.

I'm only casually following this draft class (besides Flagg), but my vibes based read right now is that Dylan Harper and Egor Demin seem like the most interesting prospects after Flagg so far.

JMAC3 · Post #31 » by **JMAC3** » Wed Nov 27, 2024 4:01 pm

My early read on Flagg is that he is more of a Chet Holmgreen type of player than a Paolo Banchero type of player. And before we freak out, no I do not mean he is a Center or exactly Chet. What I do mean is that he is a better complimentary 2-3rd option that does everything well to win games and that being a ball dominant player might not be his best path to success.

That would actually fit in what the Hornets probably need, but again trying to get your hopes up for #1 pick is a bad process.

This draft is just more than Flagg or bust.

I wouldn't mind a top 5 pick because guys like Harper/Demon/Bailey would all be great fits on this team. I can see all those guys fitting with Melo/Miller.

I'm honestly real high on Egor Demon. His basketball IQ with his size and shooting ability is a deadly combo. He can play 1-3 and would be great as a secondary playmaker. This offense could desperately use another playmaker besides Melo.

Ben Henshall starting point guard for my Perth team has been getting better and better.

6’5 guard with a decent 3 point shot he’d be a great second round pick

Thomas Sorber looking intriguing. 6'10" two-way beast.

So far, the Rutgers kids look better than Flagg. Especially Harper. Top 3 in this draft would be pretty epic for us if it happened.

And all 3 would fit on this team.

GiggitySmalls · Post #37 » by **GiggitySmalls** » Tue Dec 3, 2024 9:36 pm

Any one of those 3 would probably be my happiest moment as a Hornets fan. We haven't had much to be happy about for decades. Those 3 are worth getting jacked up for. Either one could change the trajectory of this team in an instant.

Kinda crazy how much more exciting this freshmen class feels compared to last years.

Do not take Egor Demin.

Cooper is exactly like you described, but if the game is on the line he will take over. Or try to. What I love is he might be the best player in America and is only 17. His body is perfect for the NBA right now as well. Let alone a year or 5 years from now.

Him Miller and Lamelo would win a title together. But it's a pipedream.
