When we pick 3 white dudes in the draft we'll be the Timberwolves of the south

I want zero white dudes. Not because they're white. I just don't like any of em.




and they're white.


edit: I'll take Mitch mcgary at 24.

What I like about McGary is he's a team player. It's one of the things I really like about Stauskas as well. I enjoy watching unselfish ballplayers and I like to see how everyone around them plays better when they're on the court. We really should be watching the Spurs and not swinging for the fences for individual opportunistic performers. And it's not like Stauskas or McGary don't have other NBA traits/skills that translate. For me, being a playmaker is a big deal on this team because we've got too many unskilled players playing hero ball.

I see what you're saying. I just think stauskus wont pan out at all. They're are other options for that. Also there's free agency for proven role players. I want to draft talent

He seems to be good enough for the elite franchises, but not for some of our fans.

I don't want a guy coming off an injury that won't allow a physical before the draft and who hasn't played in almost a year.

He makes Jefferson look like he has Howard type athleticism.

How weird would it be if the Hornets big board comes down to Harris vs. Stauskas at 9 and Payne vs. McGary at 24? UM vs. MSU all over again.

Cho normally runs a very tight ship info wise.

How did this promise get leaked? Seems unCho like.

Maybe the leak came from the outside. Higgins is on the loose.
