Mitch McGary Theory

Last year Mitch McGary would've been a lottery pick before his back injury and off the court troubles. Skip to 2014 the lottery pick talent is projected as a late first/early second rounder. The Hornets work him out and see that his back is fine and he is back to 100%. The Hornets promise to draft McGary at #24 in return that McGary shuts down all of his workouts in fear that another team will draft him much higher. The Hornets might be viewing this as getting a lottery type talent at #24

 

 

Thoughts? Unless McGary is just a smokescreen this is the only plausible explanation I can think of.

I can't find it anywhere but chad ford had another tweet saying something about it being a theory. And that him and his agent now hope he's gets drafted in the second round so he can control his options money and contract going forward.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Chad Ford like to come up with crazy BS that has no truth to it.

Yeah I kinda feel like most "mock experts" and such fling poo on the wall and see what sticks.

Also, I don't know if he changed it or not but yesterday Chad Ford still has us taking Hairston #24

FWIW alternative McGary theory I’ve heard: McGary may WANT to fall to the 2nd round so his agent can control $ and years of his contract

Also in regards to your other comment I'd be fine with PJ at #9

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
