Can they even roster 5 players?

Yup, they have 5 open roster spots plus 5 guys with team options. So potetinally 10 open roster spots, if they wanted.Onus wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:If I'm the Nets, i make NBA history and use all 5 picks. I'd pick one of every position, 2 or 3 of them are bound to pan out.

Josh Green is also trash. Hes not a starting caliber nba player.

Hornets were one of the worst three point shooting teams in the NBA, Tre Johnson might be the best three point shooter in the draft. Josh Green is hurt, giant hole at shooting guard. Johnson makes too much sense, so of course, the Hornets are going to pass on him.
I'm going to be a Charlotte resident this time next week, so I'd like the team to be decent so I can go see some games.

They tried to postpone the game (or games), but the German league said "Naaah, we can't do that, but we could factor in the NBA Draft in future years" (which helps Ulm a lot in the current final series). They had feared that Ben Saraf would also fly to the draft, but he decided to play.
There was some controversy back in the day because Dirk flew to the Nike Hoops Summit game while his 2nd division team was fighting for promotion. But that game was a massive chance and it was what put him on the map. Donnie Nelson drafted him because he saw him practice in Dallas. But missing the deciding game(s) for the national championship because you sit in some big arena with a suit is nuts. I mean, I get it's great for a young player to get called on that stage in the NBA Draft, but leaving your team during one of the biggest days in club history?

Between a Defensive big like Maluach and an Offensive big like Queen, Essengue at 6’11 could play that pseudo-big position as he is a wing. Also i think he goes first overall as a prospect in last year’s draft. I’m taking this kid over Rissacher.
I’d imagine in smaller lineups when he gets stronger (shocked to learn the kid is only 18) he can slide into those 5 out small ball lineups and be a decent enough helpside defender. I especially like the pick if we keep Jakob as they both seem to be players that have decent enough play making at your big positions. The high-low synergy should be good.
Also at the 9th position I’m seeing a lot of good players. I think Noa may have the highest upside (Maybe Carter Byrant???). Excited to see who we pick but I think we’re going to get a decent player.

Is there someone you want Raps to avoid at all cost?

I'm nervous!
Some Celtics fans started trading our entire roster as soon as our season ended but I am attached to my guys and yesterday was rough lol. Hoping there are no more fireworks for me if I'm being honest. With my brain stuff I'm sensitive to noise and hate fireworks anyway haha.
