I'll preface this by saying I'm no NBA guru or follow it like the NFL and am not an NC State fan.. At all.

But I watch this kid and he's damn impressive. Good size, great scorer and a skillset that looks like will translate well and early in the league.

So if anyone has any opinions on him or wants to break him down feel free to in here.

We need offense and the kid brings it. He's one of those forward tweeners which may sway people away but if you're looking for points on the board, he's a viable option IMO.

What say you?

I thought he was great in college last year and I think he will transition well into the NBA.  He needs to improve his 3 point shot to be more than a role player at the next level, and unfortunately his lack of an outside shot makes him a bad fit with the Hornets roster right now.

 

If he's there at 24 I would be glad to take him, but I dont think he will be there and it doesnt make sense to trade up for a guy who wont fit the team right now

And lol at acting like there is much of a difference between the 2 spot and 3.

There is... one is a front court player and one is a back-court player.

The three is most likely more versatile because he can guard three positions on the floor.

Not to mention the way you play the game is completely different, you don't necessarily have to be a good shooter to be a successful small forward (i.e. Luol Deng and even LBJ early in his career) because your body is big enough where you can take it to the rack and even play down low.

However, you have to be a good shooter in order to play the two spot because you have to be able to stretch the floor so teams can't help out on your post players.

That's actually a pretty big difference.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
