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

Don't care, Sullinger sucks.

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.

Ray Allen/Eric Gordon isnt worth the #2 pick? Are you crazy???

lets say Drummond becomes Tyson Chandler.... is he worth the #2 pick?

or what if he plays with the half-assed effort that he did in high school and at UConn?

what if TRob measures in at 6'7 to 6'8.... is he worth the #2 pick?

2nd is a lot better than 4th but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken atm.

???? What??? #2 and Kemba for their two picks?[/quote]

you think they would do #2 by itself for their 2 picks?[/quote]

if they really really like a guy at #2 then yes[/quote]

I could see them doing that if they see the right player there for them. Yes. Would not trade Kemba in any deal. Maybe S&T with DJA would be considered.

I really like Robinson with that pick. He reminds me of Zack Randolf with more athleticism and a better attitude.

The Hornets wouldn't do that.

I like MKG and Beal. But not as much at #2 as I would rather have #6 and #11. But if Cho cannot make a deal, then those 2 are my options.

I think wizards will take BEal at number 3 he is excatly what we need a out side shooter. i see him going number 3 with us.

Don't care, Sullinger sucks.

you say Sullinger sucks, but at least he dominated the high school and college games

Drummond never played hard at any level.... he underachieved in high school and college..... yet he's the surefire #2 pick to you and Sullinger sucks?

if Drummond had Sullinger's heart, he'd be battling Davis to be the #1 pick

if the Bobcats draft Drummond, he's going to have a year similar to Biyombo.... add to that, Biyombo and Drummond makes ZERO sense as a frontcourt pairing

Not sure why some of you would take Drummond and pray that he lives up to his expectations when you can pick Gilchrist and know that you are going to have a kid with great athleticism that plays balls out night in and night out.

I don't think the Ray Allen/Eric Gordon comparisons are too accurate. Beal is more famed because he's a steady player that brings an all around game. Great rebounder for his position, good defender, can create for his teammates, score, but he isn't a closer either. In Florida's final game of the tournament Beal tried being assertive and he didn't look comfortable doing it, getting blocked twice.

I would rather risk it all on Drummond and Robinson and then aim high for Shabazz the following year.

Wonder if the Kings would give us #5 for Biz to team him with DMC?

Then we try and create a similar teaming by drafting Robinson and Drummond?

Zion Wembanyama · Post #54 » by **Zion Wembanyama** » Thu May 31, 2012 12:54 am

I think you guys should go Drummond, he's who I wanted the Hornets to take if we didn't win the lotto.

Post #55 » by **Diop** » Thu May 31, 2012 12:54 am

I'm leaning towards T Rob as our Pf of the future.

Drummond is going to be the next Diop

could not agree more

you dont have to worry about MKG's effort..... the guy is a competitor and a worker

yeah, he has weaknesses.... but he's the kind of guy that you know will be working his ass off in the gym in the offseason to improve those weaknesses

MKG = no brainer pick IMO

great, next year we can get the 9th pick... I'd rather get a crappy player (or at least one not nba ready) and get in the top 4 again.

Hornets fan here and just want to say im truly sorry, that really does suck. I hope whoever you draft (t-rob) has a good career

Who should the Bobcats draft at #2?
