Re: 2020 Draft Discussion
You don't see guards as strong and skilled with the ball as Edwards is very often.
His free throw shooting percentages concern me, but they aren't Lonzo Ball or Fultz level bad. If he can show improvement in his shooting and he plays smart 2-way basketball under Crean this year I'll be sold.

I'm guessing you're asking would I be mad if we kept Kemba. And, I'd be annoyed because the ultimate goal of a franchise is to win a championship. Treadmill teams have to get extremely lucky by hitting a guy like Kawhi or Giannis to do that. I'd much rather take a few elite prospects and go from there. Obviously, didn't work out too well for us last time, but I'd rather crash and burn until we get it right than accept mediocrity.
The Charlotte Hornets will win their first round series against the Boston Celtics in the 2021 Playoffs

Re: 2020 Draft Discussion
Any chance we get to land future first round picks this year, we better take. Even if it’s way in the future. We are more likely to get a 2021 or 22 pick for someone like Marvin, Zeller or maybe even MKG. I’d be ecstatic if we were able to do that because you never know who is going to suck in 2-3 years.

OMG! So the two highest rated players in the 2020 draft don't even make your list?! Wiseman and Edwards are better than anyone on that list.

I think choosing wiseman is a mistake or could be. NBA is more a guard/perimiter league now and I think he is not a SURE THING. I would rather draft a big later on.

Re: 2020 Draft Discussion
I hope Mitch can find a trade partner that will swap Marvin and the Cavs pick for a 1st round pick in the late teens to mid 20s. That way if we aren't in a position to take Wiseman or we aren't in love with him we can take the best of who's available and also grab a big later in the first.
Charles Bassey, Isaiah Mobley, Kai Jones, Vernon Carey, and Armando Bacot are all guys we should be scouting heavily. A lot of them will likely stay in school another year, but we should scout them anyway just in case.

Re: 2020 Draft Discussion
We need a SG and a C. Which is great because the top two prospects are SG and C.
I'm hoping we can get another late lottery pick/pick in the teens. There have been some nice players drafted recently in that range. Bam Adebayo would be amazing here. F the Heat for constantly hitting on their picks.

I really hope the team will end up with Wiseman or Edwards, but the lottery has hated Charlotte ever since the original team left town. New Orleans put a voodoo curse on this franchise.

Insert Edwards beside Bridges and PJ and the future is set in stone.

This fanbase deserves a young star player. MJ needs to do whatever is needed to remove the NOLA voodoo curse on us.

If I tune my tinfoil hat just right I get a strong suspicion Zion's shoe exploding in the UNC/Duke game was a warning shot from MJ. Nice future face of the league you got there...be a shame if something were to happen to him.
Silver didn't listen, and now look what happened. MJ hired some random goon to knock his knees and finish the job, OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE.
Make the right choice commish, don't put anymore kids at risk.

Wow! Is his dad a factor in when he gets picked? It has to be. Probably not the deciding factor, but for sure a consideration.

His shooting still needs work but he has a great feel for the game
