who do you realistically want us to take slam?

Rumors we promised Mitch McGarry at 24? That would throw a wrench

You guys saw that rumor about LAC being interested in trading 28 for either Hendo(!) or Shumpert, right?

Aaron Gordon is almost assuredly to be drafted before forwards Noah Vonleh and Julius Randle, front office sources tell Yahoo.

DraftExpress' latest updated mock a few minutes ago have Vonleh falling to the Sixers at #10. Do you guys think Cho would pass up on Vonleh at #9?

If Vonleh falls into our lap at 9 I will have a spontaneous orgasm, song and dance at the same time!!!!!!!

If he does land there and Cho passes, I may contact the nearest hit man.....

Latest DX mock has us with McDermott and Young. That would be a great draft.

Interesting. I'd be shocked with him falling. I'd also expect Cho to jump on him.

Jeff Goodman has Charlotte taking Vonleh at #9 in his latest mock draft, but that guy don't know shizznit

That would be my 2 favorite players (since Young/LaVine are Ying & Yang) for Charlotte. Indeed, that would be the most awesome scenario

Dude - seriously...........spoilers are NOT on.

I'd think long and hard about passing on Vonleh.

I'd be shocked if we trade Hendo. But I'd be going crazy if we could pull that off. Make it happen Cho!

Yes, a few pages back

Elden Payton · Post #232 » by **Elden Payton** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 11:13 pm

I'm surprised about the potential of Gordon going before Randle and Vonleh.

Some GM will probably get fired for that.

I'm not a fan of Young at 9. But getting him at 24 would be great.

Elden Payton · Post #234 » by **Elden Payton** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 11:14 pm

So I guess Afflalo isn't worth that much.

Shock horror!

I figured, they don't know anything concrete. I won't post anymore info from those sites or any other media pundit then. I'm sorry

Apart from Embiid and Parker (and Exum because of the Aussie thing) I'm not really attached to anyone.

I think I would be ok with Staukas. I think he brings a lot of what we need (another ball handler/play maker and a deep, deep shooter) and can have an impact in his rookie year.

I'd be 50/50 on it. So much potential. But so raw.

Honestly I don't see Cho drafting Zeller's replacement this early.

I was kidding - because you quoted Fats.

In case y'all were wondering what the back of Young's head looks like tonight.

I'm still a firm fan of Young at #9. However, if Charlotte can land him at #24, that would be the ultimate steal of the draft. As much as I like McDermott, put him and Young on the Hornets, and the latter will be the better player in due time, but it'll benefit the Hornets' franchise history. That's just my opinion. I'm not trying to shoot your's down. I have a great feeling about Young's prospects
