so IF we draft McBuckets at #9....

[ThinkAboutIt]

have the Hornets not learned from Adam Morrison! you don't draft american whites!!!

You don't draft a "shooter" in the lottery if you can help it, you draft superstar potential, athletic freaks. Both McDermott and Stauskas will be drafted before 13. Neither should be.

I bet GSW is glad they didn't think that when they drafted Curry

I'd be completely fine with McDermott as the pick. He can straight up shoot the basketball, something we are missing.

No one should get drafted in the lottery just because they can "shoot" unless they are incapable of missing or being defended. 

[WOW!!]

Let's be real a second. In workouts that year Curry was showing people he could handle the ball and be a facilitator.

Yes, because that's all he can do.

 

 

Who do you want to draft at 9?

[WOW!!]

Terry does it not worry you that he is getting handled by a younger more inexperienced player like TJ? Who will be a later pick.

[WOW!!]

Yes, because that's all he can do.

Who do you want to draft at 9?

Right now that's his elite skill set. Every thing else is a question mark.

No one. Either trade up or back, or package the pick for a veteran if you're going to pick a one-trick pony that will break down the first time some heavy defense is on top of him. 

 

Without NBA defenders, he looks like he can do more than shoot, doesn't he?

Curry can do more than "just shoot."

 

Keep trying.

Keep trying.

There were a lot of questions about him before the draft. Many scouts didn't think he could be an effective PG and didn't think he was big and strong enough to be a SG. The only thing they knew was he could shoot

I think you're overestimating what a #9 pick in a draft can do. It's really a crap shoot. 

 

I'm personally down for any option to make us better, whether its to get a vet or another draft pick, but if we do keep our #9 pick, my top choice would be Zach Lavine based off athleticism if no other player projected earlier drops like Smart, Randle, Exum, etc. 

 

I'd really love to get a combo guard more than anything.

Everyone knew he had to be a PG to survive in the NBA. His projected position was clear. What's McDermott's? Anything you say is your opinion.

I used the word "package" because I'm not overestimating it. #9 alone isn't going to get you what you need.
