Kemba/Graham
Bacon/Monk
Miles/MKG/Batum
Marv/PJ
Cody/Biz/WHG

Need a backup PG (I'm praying so hard for Rubio ya'll have no idea)
Need a C (should be some solid options later in the draft and you know Borrego will be playing PJ at center a lot)

I'd try like hell to trade back into the 1st for Goga Bitazde and sign Rubio with the MLE.

Kemba/Rubio/Graham
Bacon/Monk
Miles/MKG/Batum
Marv/PJ
Cody/Goga/Biz/WHG


I'm fine with Graham being our backup he showed me enough last year that he good enough to carry the load with the 2nd group.

Graham ranked 483 out of 514 in RPM last season (-3.75), which is almost as bad as Monks rookie season as a 19 year old, and hes already 24 years old. Monk was only -2.63 last season as a 20 year old.

I think this is the most positive you've ever been about a Charlotte draft pick since I joined the board. Now i'm thinking hes an MVP candidate by year two :wink:

Yikes!

So is it expected that Reddish would play the 4?

I LOVE the Hunter pick for them. Young and Collins look awesome.

Not sure how Reddish fits though?

Completely talking out my ass b/c I've done zero research this year but PJW seems like a solid pick!

He's got to be better than the last PJ we drafted.

I saw someone say he is more like Paul George than Reddish is. The optimist in me is asking if this is at all accurate lol
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

I want Mitch to trade up with the Celtics to get Claxton, Keldon, Little, or Fernando.

I had my heart set on Goga, but I really like Claxton as well.

NBA draft moves so slowly wish they would speed this up cause this is taking forever and its boring.

Why is Little falling?

we need to trade up before he falls to the warriors and they get another gem.

I can't believe he is falling this much.

I would be "ok" with Porter Jr at #36 but I would much rather take Obeisie if he were there
