Moody to GSW at #14 and Jalen Johnson to ATL at #20 are the steals of the draft.

Overall I give our draft a B so far which is pretty good.

I hated kids until I had a couple.

Mitch is on FIRE!!

While he's hot, trade #37 and #56 for a future 1st - a future 1st in the same draft we traded our future 1st in to land Kai.

Then we will, without question, know that Mitch walks on water.

Sims, Bassey, Quentin Grimes, Kessler Edwards, Aaron Henry ... lot of possibilities with #37.

Funny - I don't actually hate kids. Just the idea of having my own. I've become 'fun uncle' (insert drunk for fun)

My love for both Sims and Bassey has been made clear, but I have an unspoken love for Grimes - he'd be gold.

Mitch managed to come out of the draft with my favorite guard AND big. I'm more excited for the future of Charlotte basketball than I think I've ever been. I've been the "realist" around here for awhile but somebody might need to take my place now.

Man, this city and franchise are so beyond due for a resurgence to the epic 90s Hornets era. We've waited so long. Please let this be the start of something great.

I would have much rather had Moody, Sengun, and JJ than Bouknight. I was super wrong about LaMelo, so maybe I'm wrong again.

What are the Knicks thinking? They must be absolutely in love with someone further down.

Maybe Day'Ron Sharpe at 37?

That'd give us a player at every level. G-F and a C.
