The super ninja cho draft selection

Also some thoughts on PJ since he was mentioned above...

 

I think he could be a steal this draft, and someone that could be a great 6th man his first couple of seasons and maybe a good starter down the road. But I also think he needs to get as far away from North Carolina as possible. Get drafted by a team a few states away, far from all the idiot friends and influences here, and he will have a lot better shot at reaching his potential IMO. He may have changed for the better already and I hope he has...but give him a million dollars close to home and all his family and "friends" right here? Could just further the problems from the past couple of years.

Cho did say that he's drafted a player before that he hasn't worked out.

Yea Saric isn't working out for anyone, he is however in the states for interviews. I wonder if the Hornets are one of the teams planning to interview him.

I have said the same thing. He needs to go to a place where he can just be a pro and not worry about some of the hanger ons and childhood friends.

Most people who know PJ don't think he is a bad kid, but sometimes runs with some questionable people in Greensboro and Durham.

If we draft him I worry about some of the people around him that are childhood friends and their friends more than PJ himself.

But hopefully he learned from his mistakes if we draft him.

I really don't want Saric.

I don't so much not want him as I don't know much about him. I like watching full games rather than video clips on youtube.

But NBA scouts have access to more info on these guys than me. But delving into the unknown is always scary

Just saw that it is believed that Denver gave Saric a promise at 11.

He's got a promise from a few teams in the lottery outside the top ten. Rumor was a few months ago a top ten team promised to pick him.

Lakers were high on him at 7, but not sure that happens with them trying to trade it

    • 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.
