Wallace > MKG > Little

3rd times the charm right?

You'll likely get your wish. This board will spend years trying to make Little happen just like it did with MKG.

Nothing is broken with Little’s shot though so there is that. He has a lot of work to do but at least he doesn’t have the same terrible form MKG has.

Guys in the know say there are going to be more trades today than any draft in the last 20 years. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Do you guys want me to put up the draft chat? Hard to believe the draft is here already.

Langford feels like the guy that's going to out perform his draft position or randomly go in the top 10 to the confusion of everybody.

I am preparing for a crazy day for the Hornets. They are desperate to keep Kemba here and Desperation usually breeds bad ideas.

In unrelated news, I think it's odd that both the Gonzaga players are usually mocked next to each other yet the consensus between the eye test people and the analytic people couldn't be further apart on the two.

I don't get it either.

They are both PF's playing on the same team in the same draft and are mocked next to each other a lot.

It's weird.

Here's where I think I sit (in absolutely no order):

Would Be Ok With:
Zion Williamson
Ja Morant
DeAndre Hunter
Jaxson Hayes
Bruno Fernando
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Mfiondu Kabengele
Cameron Johnson
Daniel Gafford
Jontay Porter

Don't Really Want:
RJ Barrett
Sekou Doumbouya
Cameron Reddish
Rui Hachimura
Nassir Little
Goga Bitadze
Bol Bol
Brandon Clarke
Matisse Thybulle
Kevin Porter
Nicolas Claxton
Naz Reid

The rest I'm kinda indifferent about.

Keep in mind I really have no dog in the fight because I hardly watched any college basketball this year and aren't really invested or genuinely opposed to any specific players.

I'll add mine since it's draft day, but I'll keep mine generally in our projected range and guys we've all talked about at least briefly.

Cool With:
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
PJ Washington
Goga Bitadze
Sekou Doumbouya
Romeo Langford
Cam Reddish

Meh:
Nassir Little
Rui Hachimura
Bruno Fernando
Jaxson Hayes
Nicolas Claxton

No Thanks:
Brandon Clarke
Keldon Johnson
Tyler Herro
Mfiondu Kabengele
Bol Bol
Kevin Porter Jr.

I mostly just view him as a 15-20th pick guy. I'm not super high on a big who doesn't shoot or space enough to be a 1/2/3 option on offense. The value just isn't quite there for me at 12

UNCNYC · Post #1194 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:46 pm

As a HORNETS fan its' predictable who we are going to choose at #12. It will either be RUI, or Clarke.

_tijo_ · Post #1195 » by **_tijo_** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:50 pm

I have a feeling someone is going to drop unexpectedly, and we are going to draft them because we can't resist what pundits say. Like when Vonleh fell to us, or when we took Monk even though the plan was to take Mitchell.

I'm thinking it's Reddish, Hunter or Hayes.

LofJ · Post #1196 » by **LofJ** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:52 pm

Hachimura is a lot of fun to say.

Say it with me - HA-CHI-MU-RA! Now imagine Collins saying that on a nightly basis.

UNCNYC · Post #1197 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 5:02 pm

Who I would love at #12

WANT
Culver
NAW
Samanic

OK WITH
RUI
Sekou Doumbouya
Goga

NAH SON (Im from N.Y. LOL)
Kevin Porter Jr.
Bruno Fernando
Keldon Johnson
Tyler Herro
Mfiondu Kabengele
Bol Bol
Jaxson Hayes
Nicolas Claxton
Brandon Clarke

KingCat · Post #1198 » by **KingCat** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 5:15 pm

So what’s y’all best possible (realistic) scenario that can occur in the draft tonight? Mine is we find a way to trade up to a 4-7 pick and get Culver. Think he would fill in nicely for Lamb and excel as a secondary ball handler next to Kemba

Liver_Pooty · Post #1199 » by **Liver_Pooty** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 5:19 pm

Hachimura sounds a lot like Hiroshima which is whats going to happen to us if we keep poking Iran. Jk.
