You don't think Dwight Howard, Blake griffin, Anthony Davis, paolo and Derrick rose were "worth it" at number 1 in those years? I'm confused by your logic.

The Bobcats era would have been totally different with Dwight instead of Okafor

Paolo and Griffin MAYBE I thought about but even Paolo I can't because he hasn't played long enough... For the most part after about 4 seasons Blake, Rose and Howard were mostly ROLE players. As far as Davis goes he is the most talented one *when you are LUCKY enough to get a half season from him* so imo wouldn't want the headache...

Like the legendary Phil Collins would say, we are "ONE MORE NIGHT" away from draft pick selection.

I think the lyrics are

ONE MORE NIGHT, GIVE ME JUST ONE MORE NIGHT. CAUSE I CAN''T WAIT FOREVER....

Or something like that lol...

I can't wait lol. Hopefully we land pick 1 cause I don't trust us with pick 2.

Not sure why but this is the first lottery that is invoking a feeling of dread from me.

You guys have been using fish sticks for luck, but I think that ship sailed years ago. What will each of you do for bringing the Hornets the BEST fortune of the #1 pick?

I’m going to put honey on my morning cereal, and anything else I can. I know Hornets don’t produce honey, but it’s the closest thing to bees I can come up with.

I just want them to not literally get the 7th pick. Theres six players I'm comfortable enough with. Flagg, Harper, Edgecombe, Bailey, Fears, Jakucionis

dude. come on...
I am not Dwight Howard's biggest fan, especially later When he was with the Hornets. it was mostly empty stats. but... come on... He was an absolute **** monster for 10 straight years. 8 time All Star. 3 time Defensive player of the year. 5 Time all NBA defensive team. 7 all-nba team team

You can't ask for more out of a number one pick.

For some reason it's forgettable to me... I guess it could because when he landed here he sucked lol. If I were to give a casual thought it seemed like Blake Griffen had the better career imo... Either way pretty bad list for first picks lol. My apologies to Howard tho...

You guys are lucky I am not your GM cause if I was I would trade all three of our picks for a 2062 2nd rounder and some enveloped singles *look around before you take it while wearing shades* cash.

Seemed like back in the day we were always trading a dude for some CASH lmao

I wake up to breaking news that Giannis is open to leaving the Bucks.

Now im watching the teams like Houston/San Antonio/Dallas. Those are the teams who could be major players with a top 3 pick.
