How could the Hornets pick Justice Winslow...

[yasuhara2241]

its not like you couldn't have mkg and winslow! why is it one or the other?? Winslow learns behind Batum and takes over the SG position if Batum doesn't resign and he shows growth. 

And MKG is very important and under appreciated by many on here. Look at our teams record without him on the court. Some things aren't noticed in stats.

MKG is the most overrated player in the history of Charlotte professional sports. He's not underrated anywhere. He's a glue guy who people think is an MVP candidate (or at least is "untouchable.")

I disagree with the most overrated part. He was one of the few good picks that we have had. He has shown improvement every year and is a lock down defender that improves the team defense when he is on the court. That last part is my only problem with him. Due to his style of play we have yet to see him play a full season. For that reason he isn't untouchable for me but I would need a great offer to trade him.

Hornets fans trashed getting a guy similar to Brad Miller, but still vehemently defend their orgasms over picking Tony Allen second overall.

Winslow's play at Duke consisted of tripping, grabbing, kicking and a few basketball plays thrown in when he wasn't busy glaring .  I imagine his tripping, grabbing and kicking days are over which make him about a 6 point....2 rebound a game player in the NBA.   He can glare from the bench at his new coach.

I hated the MKG pick, but MKG is a really really nice role player / glue guy on a good team. Just have to pair him with a sharp shooting scoring SG

 

The Bobcats weren't a "good team," so why did they draft him? The Hornets still aren't, so where are they going if he needs to be more than just a role player for them to get anywhere? That's the problem, and has been since they drafted him. If the roster was better, I wouldn't have called it a stupid pick before they made it to now. It's not a good situation for him or the Hornets.

Incorrect, I wanted Beal over MKG. I also wanted DeAndre Jordan over Alexis Ajinca. I honestly could've done a better job as a GM for the Hornets than these incompetent ass holes.

"Incorrect"? I'm glad my post was written EXCLUSIVELY for and about you.

It may have been mentioned somewhere, but maybe the worst part was passing up the Celtics trade offer. Simmons said it was a 'mega-Godfather' offer...I'm assuming both their 1st rounders and Sullinger, from the rumors from last night. So, take Justise? Naaa. Take that nice trade? Naaa. Give me Frank the Tank. Thanks, MJ and Cho

Opie, be sure to bump this thread in February when Winslow is riding the pine and MKG is in the running for DPOY.

Well, you were speaking in general.  So I was just stating.

Of course you could have both, but the Hornets obviously see Winslow as a SF as do most. His height is less important than his frame and skill-set, which fits SF better than SG, and we know MKG can't play SG.

The statement was correct, in general. You alone aren't "in general," lol.

That's fair.  Also, if you want to get technical if Utah didn't fug MJ and sign Hayward we wouldn't be having this conversation because we would've made the Playoffs.
