I agree. You can't trust his health.

I'm actually surprised Kon went this high. Not that I think he's a bad player (he's not), but just didn't think he was a top 4 pick kind of player.

Ok. Still think we go Beringer/CMB but our pick should be telling


I don't remember Cowley citing sources very often like this.



A lot of crap, because the Bulls should've traded Coby to the Magic if they were interested in trading him. So just more smoke to get fans excited. You won't convince me anything will change until at best VUC is traded 1st, that Coby will be moved or any moves will happen. So in my mind AK is lazy and doesn't value picks.

Cowley saying Bulls trying to trade Zo or Coby before they pick.

If we trade Coby we gotta be tanking.

I am annoyed he played until he got his next contract.

He never seemed to be trying to come back.

Because Bailey is refusing workouts.

Kon is likely going to have a very nice career, but Hornets fans have to be feeling a little underwhelmed that after the season they had they are walking away with Knueppel.

Super important observation: I don't love the draft hats this year.

I didn't think Charlotte would pick him. He seems like a player without a lot of upside, but he should be solid.

I expect Fears, then Bailey to Washington. After that who the hell knows. Also, the entire internet is taking a dump on how atrocious the ESPN coverage is. So glad I have the Cards Cubs game on with the Draft off to the side for Silver's calls.

WHo goes 5, both white guys are off the board...Jazz in panic mode!

I half expected CHA to go elsewhere, and Kon to fall to Jazz
