PJ working out for Hornets June 4th

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

The 9th pick seems like a worse pick than our later pick..seems like there is a lot of peer pressure to draft from a few guys at a number.

[Night Prowler X]

If they feel he's the answer at SG they'll run to the podium at #9.

Goodbye Gerald.

I honestly think PJ at 9 is a bigger reach than Cody was at 4.  

[WolfpackPantherMan]

You seen who is projected around 9-13? PJ is easily on their level both skill wise and athletically. 

 

I don't care about, what I'm only assuming is Bleacher Report, is projecting. PJ is too much of a reach at 9.

^^

 

Not a reach when you have arguably lesser talents being projected at 9. 

 

PJ would have arguably been one of the best if not the best SG in college last yr.

Co-signed by the Duke fan.  Only UNC fans think this guy should be picked at 9.  I can deal with 24, but dominating in the D-League doesn't warrant the #9 pick.  I don't know if anyone has ever watched a D-League game, but its basically a pickup game at Atlanta's Run-N-Shoot.  No defense played whatsoever, so of course the offensive numbers are going to be elevated.  It is completely possible for a guy like Julius Randle to fall to 9, which would be a much better value pick.

As a Heels fan I have more bad feelings towards PJ than good. As a Hornets fan I think it's obvious that he and Staus are the best SG. And IMO they're not too far off from one another.

I'll leave it to the guys whose job it is to evaluate the talent. Getting you guys to admit that PJ would have dominated college basketball this past season is useless.

Edit: I have no problem separating my college fanhood from my pro. You guys should try it.

So there is absolutely 0 concern about Hairston's 0.8 assists a game?

If we take Hairston at 9 we'd be insane, and yes I'm a Wolfpack fan, but I'm also a reasonable one. I wanted Barnes in '12 and have never held grudges against college players, I just know that Hairston at 9 is stupid.

I'll still be the guy who wants McDermott or Stauskus at 9

[WOW!!]

Duke fan here and I see no problem with PJ at 9. 

 

If it wasn't for the off the court stuff. He is a no doubt top 10 pick. 

 

Also D-league competition is way better then college.

[WOW!!]

And you'll be the guy in a few years saying "I thought Mcdermontt would be better boy was I wrong".

 

 

PJ without a doubt dominates Mcdermontt. Now that they are known to be close in size and weight. They might match up on the court.

And it won't be pretty.

Why do people always say that?

Did I say anywhere that I didn't like PJ? No.

I'd love to get the kid at 24. JUST NOT 9

AMEN!

PJ is a scorer, not a facilitator. You draft him for his shooting, scoring, and toughness, not his passing. 

 

His talent is def worthy of a 9th pick.
