Will the Hornets have an All-star this year?


Recommended Posts

Doubt it. Even though the Hornets have improved, I still think Cle, Mia, Chi, Was, Atl, Tor are gonna be better. Hard to get a player chosen by the coaches that isn't a superstar when you're 7th or 8th. I think best chance is probably Al to replace Hibbert if he has a bad season. But I think Horford might take that spot too.

So, you think we are going to be the 7 seed again?

No way this is a 7th or 8th seed team and Big Al deserved the all star nod last season.

If we're the seventh seed again than this season was a failure.

Personally, I think we're a five seed right now with the potential of being the second, third, or fourth seed if we get Boozer.

 

We were basically 2 games from the 5 seed last season.

You have to win the division to to get into the top four or be the next best team (i.e. probably Cleveland).

I still think Washington is currently the better team due to their experience and the favorite to win the division.

With Boozer though... look out.

 

Maybe, i dont think Pierce is an upgrade over Ariza.  

 

I really think we are better or push at all starting 5 positions.

I think we're better at the shooting guard and center position but Washington is definitely better at the power forward position and I give Wall the edge over Walker. I think a lot of our success is contingent on MKG and how he has developed.

Nonetheless, I still maintain that if we sign Boozer we will win the division.

Boozer gives us stability at all five positions and gives us some good bodies off the bench as well.

    • 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.
