1st rd pick general discussion #2 overall (Poll Added)

Of all teams to win it. Now they have managed to take CP3 from us via coin flip and Davis via luck. Unbelievable. That franchise has always had tremendous lottery luck dating back to inception.

trade #2 for both of portland's picks.

That would give them the #2 overall pick and the #11 pick though making them potentially stronger and impacting the value of the picks we are getting from them in the future.

If we have to make the pick I'd go with Robinson. I wish Minnesota's pick wasn't already taken. I would try to do a deal of the #2 and DJA for Derrick Williams and that 10 pick and take Lamb. No one in the top 6 has a player that I covet that I think they would be willing to trade.

before some of you jump off a bridge...dont sleep on thomas robinson..the kid is a BEAST in the paint and he has range...but because of the offense they ran at kansas he didnt get to show it.

[Kabookalu]

What I blow. I was hoping to see the greatest shot blocking duo of all time. Oh well.

Cho talked about wanting to develop his big young guys. If big man development is his focus maybe Drummond would be worth the risk. Thomas Robinson has great potential too, but not nearly as high as Drummond's, however his bust factor is also much smaller.

Again what a blow though.

i like the idea of trading #2 and Kemba for both of Portlands picks. Take Brad Beal and Sullenger.

[HornetJail]

Draft is rigged. U guys got robbed!! This is what happens when Jordan pissed off stern!

You don't say?

but hey, seems the general realgm public is finally on our side. things are looking up. haha.

I'd much rather have the #1 pick and get flooded by "THIS **** IS RIGGED. THIS IS ONLY HAPPENING CAUSE MJ IS THE OWNER."

trade #2 for both of portland's picks.

This is the ideal scenario. Throw Kemba/DJ in there too if we have to.

No. We would get both their lottery picks. They would not get #11.

I swear to my golden idol of Baal, I will stop following this team if we draft Sullinger.

I think he is saying trade our Number 2 for Portland's #6 AND #11. Thing is after the top 4 of Davis, MKG, Beal and Robinson, I'm not that high on the rest. unless you think Drummond has it in him.

???? What??? #2 and Kemba for their two picks?

[HornetJail]

Portland would probably draft Drummond #2, his legs would suddenly become Oden-like and they'd get like a top 5 pick next year, but it would still be just out of reach to grab Shabazz.

[Liver_Pooty]

I'm all in for Gilchrist unless he does sub par in workouts.

[penquin11]

what the ****, did that **** seriously happen- did the NBA owned Hornets just win the goddamn lottery? Holy Mother ****, Usually Im less livid but it is so **** hard to seriously follow a sports team when everything in the mother **** universe works against your team.... I might actually just stop watching NBA basketball because of this, **** this league.

you think they would do #2 by itself for their 2 picks?

[MBash721]

theyre not going to take Sullinger unless they trade down.... he'll probably go somewhere in the 7-12 range

to me, MKG is a no brainer pick

[Eoghan]

Let's say Beal is some sort of super hybrid of Ray Allen and Eric Gordon. Is prime Ray Allen/Gordon worth a 2nd pick? I say no. Ray Allen was a stud in Mil and Sea and they were still a mediocre team mostly.

MKG, same thing. If his ceiling is a better Crash, is that really worth a 2nd pick? Drummond and Robinson would have to really disappoint in workouts to be below those two on the Bobcats' draft board IMO.

[StitchJones]

If they would take it, I would send DJA and Mullens to NO for the #10 pick and draft Lamb. Take Robinson at number 2 and your lineup begins to have some real talent.

Kemba
Lamb
Henderson
Robinson
Biyambo

if they really really like a guy at #2 then yes
