This ^
I assume it's due dilligence if we slide back a few slots, but even then, I would flip my isht if we select him, regardless of position. There is nothing about him that I want any part of in a Hornets uniform.
Ditto...DO NOT WANT!

I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

He looks stiff as hell. As if he can't bend his knees or something.

Re: The Myles Turner Thread
I'm actually a big fan of his now. Unlike all the guys propped by "work ethic" and "potential" and "drive", this guy actually did a MASSIVE amount of work with trainers to fix his gait on top of the regular rehab and basketball work. I don't think we'll draft him, but I have high hopes for him in the NBA.

Re: The Myles Turner Thread
I'm growing on him. Even with our log jam, I could see him being the best player down the road. What I don't get is how he had such a poor year in college.

He's a great prospect. His biggest issues were the injury concerns other stuff. He measures very well and has all the tools you'd ever want a modern NBA center to have. Money is the Pacers take him, keep him in a very minor role for a year, then show off a guy that could've gone top 5.

Re: The Myles Turner Thread
I could easily see him be a 12/8 center with 2blocks per game in a few years. the super rare shot blocking stretch 5. he seems to be very smart, if he busts it will be because of his bad athletic ability, he has a good skillset.

probably need to get ahead of Indy, so that means us or Miami.
