Yeah, this pick does nothing for me. Hopefully I'm wrong, or it gets traded.

PJ
Fine with me
Replaces Marv and should pair well with Bridges as tough forwards

Not sad. Not happy either though. Pretty indifferent really.

If we get Bruno with our next pick I’ll be happier with a PJ/Bruno combo draft.

I think they had Rui circled but settled for PJ.

Not mad at all though. This was fine.

Seems like a low risk/high floor kind of player and who are we fooling? Its a total crap shoot at this point in the draft.

I didn’t like that Clarke has no shooting range.

At least P.J. can spread the floor. Seems like a young version of Marv, which isn’t a bad thing.

They were saying in the pre-draft show that P.J. is the angriest (plays nasty - in a good way) player in the draft.

I like that. We need some sand paper.

People forget that MKG, Miles, and Cody were said to be "Pit Bulls" on the college court, but look like scared puppies in the NBA. Just another boring pick for a boring team
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

2nd year in a row that they picked the guy I wanted in this range. Hope it works out, but I'm very happy ATM!
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I definitely don't hate the pick or anything, but it just doesn't excite me and I still really want to trade back with Boston.

And for the record I find PJ anything but boring. He's not a swing for the fences pick, but he has huge wingspan, can defend, and shoots 3s. He will be able to play.

Apparently he was hurt before their last tourney game and instead of sitting out he played and told the guys to feed him the rock because he was hungry

Ended up putting up 28/13 against Auburn in the Elite 8.

He also showed serious improvement from his Freshman to Sophomore years, which in my opinion bodes VERY well for his ceiling. I think he still has a lot of improvement left
