2015 Hornets Draft Watch


JJman Returns

Recommended Posts

We are officially one week away from the NBA Draft. As most teams do, we've held numerous workouts with early and late first round talent and of course, with guys who we could target in the second round. As of right now, it seems the three favorite first round targets are

Devin Booker, SG from Kentucky. Willie Cauley Stein, C from Kentucky. and RJ Hunter, SG from Georgia State. I doubt Stein falls back to us at number 9, and I doubt we'd take Hunter at the number 9 pick. I do believe Devin Booker will be the pick and he'd be a good one. It seems also that Stanley Johnson and Kelly Oubre are in the discussion as well.

So who do you want?

Not a fan of Booker. Trade up and get one of the top prospects, or stay put and draft Stanley Johnson, a guy that can be a two way player.

I'd rather have Oubre than Booker if we trade down. 

​Johnson is actually a decent possibility.  Hell, if we're expecting Clifford to be Clifford, then might as well get a guy to fit in the roation behind MKG ahead of Hairston/Taylor in the SF/SG mold.  Then, get a true SG/PG type in the FA or via trade.

It seems like this board never wants us to draft shooters, yet complains about us not having shooters. Devin Booker has all the tools to be a starting SG with above average height. It is time to stop putting this aside. Draft the shooter and move on. Unless we plan on pursuing Danny Green or Belinelli in free agency

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
