Stauskas To Work Out For Hornets Wednesday

[Bj-Monster23]

I believe the Hornets really needs to look at taking Stauskas with the 9th pick.

Having a "productive" swagger to your game, especially as a SG, can be huge. Think, Jamaal Crawford, and not JR Smith. I know Stauskas is more athletic than given credit for, but I do think he'll struggle initially and to get his shot off on a consistent basis. I see him being somewhere between a guy like Redick (tho Stauskas's measureables are better), who molded his game and became a legit role player and the obvious Klay Thompson comparison, that Stauskas himself is a fan of.

Here are some tweets...

@rick_bonnell: Stauskas is from Ontario, one of a handful of Canadians who will be drafted June 26. Andrew Wiggins also from Canada.

@rick_bonnell: Stauskas showing off quite a shooting stroke.

@rick_bonnell: Stauskas working out for only 4 teams: Hornets, Celtics, Lakers and Suns. This was his 1st workout.

@rick_bonnell: BTW, Nik Stauskas showed up for Hornets workout in teal sneakers. Guess he does his research.

@rick_bonnell: Stauskas: "(They) need a guy who can space the floor and knock down shots. I can definitely do that."

@rick_bonnell: Nik Stauskas has a lot of self-confidence. You need to believe in yourself to succeed at the NBA level, and he sure radiates confidence.

 

We already know that there is nothing objective about Bonnell, and he wants Stauskas. If he didn't, Stauskas could've made every shot and Bonnell would've been "qualifying" his comments with cheapshots.

Bonnell is definitely more of a Rodney Hood guy. He tweeted about it a while back.

He also seems to like Hairston.

You can tell after watching Coach Cliffs interview that he has a hard-on for Stauskas.

 

This is good to hear. Really hope we draft Staus at 9.

Really hope the pick gets traded. 

 

And what has "Coach Clifford" said about any of the other players who have worked out?

Yall think MJ could teach Stauskas some of his moves?

I have been defending McDermott a lot lately, but that doesn't mean I have hitched my wagon to him by any means.  There are several players I would like to see us draft at #9.  Stauskas is one of those players.

I heard he showed out so I guess it is between him or McBuckets.

We should trade down and get extra picks if we want him. If we want affalo which I wouldn't be against I would only want to trade the 24th pick for him. There will be too much talent to pass on with the 9th pick for a good vet. I think we should do everything possible to get Parker. If we decide to keep our picks then I say draft Vonleth, Randle or Gordon then with the 24th pick we should get PJ Harriston Rodney, Hood Craig McDermott (unlikely available) or Napier.

I wouldn't mind us trying to trade for Gordon Hayward or any other restricted FA considering it probably won't hurt us that bad since our draft picks will probably be in the mid to late 20s since we will be signing a big name FA and drafting a top player as well.

Hopefully Embiid falls to us now!

Apparently a team asked Stauskas if he would rather win rookie of the year or tour/party with Justin Bieber lol.
