Whats your take on him? Ive never heard of him, but looks like hes older, played for a crappy school, and didn't shoot a very good percentage from 3pt.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I'm not even sure if Rich Cho selected 3 players in the 2nd round his entire tenure as GM. Mitch Kupchak just did that in one night.
The draft is certainly more fun to watch with him in charge.

Purely based on his name I expected him to be a PF - not sure why.
Was quite surprised to just find out he is actually a PG.
Go figure.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
The production this team has been getting out of second round picks isn’t just an improvement over what we’ve done in the past pre Mitch, but it’s defying the odds of second round picks making it in the NBA. Cannot say enough about the way this franchise has turned around its ability to draft in the second round and then develop that talent using the G league.

Article below goes move in depth but he's an elite scorer/finisher. Undersized but athletic. He's older and played at a small school so likely overlooked.
He's a steal at 56. Praying we keep him.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
We didn’t pick any players I wanted but I’m happy with this draft. We picked up plenty of intriguing prospects

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
This was one of the best drafts for a rebuild that I've ever seen. If things go as planned, we'll be adding another top pick next season.
The Charlotte Hornets will win their first round series against the Boston Celtics in the 2021 Playoffs

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
This draft was so deep Devon Dotson didn't even get drafted and imo he is a franchise PG

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I am hoping that we pick up Josh Hall as an undrafted FA
Kid played at Moravian Prep on Hickory, NC which is 45 minutes from Charlotte. He was going to go to NC State, but decided to enter the draft. Kid is very talented, and potentially 1st round pick had he gone to NC State.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
Undrafteds to consider: Diakite (really like his defensive ability and potential), Whitney (KY) and Trent Forest (Florida State). All three for some serious defensive potential. Forest might be the best of them. Yurtseven, formerly of NC State(?) intrigues, but is so much a plodder. Josh Hall would be a dart board developmental prospect. Just what the G-league was made for.

Would love to pick up Hall and send him to Greensboro. Diakite and Forest would be great too.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
We've drafted 7 guys in the second round in Mitch's 3 drafts, and that doesn't include Caleb Martin. What a dramatic change from when MJ forced Cho to sell our 2nd round picks.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
Kupchak has discovered that there's value in the second round in older players (golly, 23!) who have experience and are ready to play. I love the approach. But the cautionary tale is to not expect too much from second rounders. It's not often a franchise commits to youth and development the way the Hornets have. Yet talent is talent and winning requires it.

I'm far out of the basketball loop, but if I wasn't, I think I'd be very excited about this draft.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
LaMelo mentioned (pre-draft) discussions with his brother and how he could go higher. Then mentioned Lonzo chose 2 because he was drafted 2nd, of course a Terry has 3...BigSlam wrote:So we drafted two guys who both wear #1, and Monk already wears #1.
Who gets the #1 next season?
3 men enter, one man leaves....
