You give Kemba a A but lists Damian Lillard as a miss. You included players that were drafted in the 2nd round as players Charlotte missed (every team in the 1st round missed)

You would have really drafted the Greek freak with the 2nd pick at that time?

Didn't you have Vonleh as your avatar?

I'm going to start the NFL List

Tom Brady

Randy Moss

Richard Sherman

Aaron Rodgers

Etc.

Kemba was our best pick in the Bobcats/Hornets era. It is well known we suck at drafting BSPN makes fun of us a lot on NBA talk. Heck, even last year with drafting Frank over Winslow was questionable. It's still early for frank though. We have missed on a lot of picks. But we are competitive. Nail FA and a draft, we will be ok. Also, whatever happened to that poster "Thinkaboutit"

The winslow pick never made sense for the hornets. Charlotte signed MKG to a extension and traded for Nic. Winslow is a good defender but has a questionable jumpshot just like MKG.

Yeah good point, I'm just saying there were better players than Frank at that time. I do still think Frank will make a solid player.

Before they traded for Nic, I thought Devin Booker was going to be pick. After the trade It was the worst kept secret that the Hornets wanted Frank.

Do you think Frank is having a hard time adjusting to new three point line?  I can't figure it out.  He's been pretty atrocious from three outside of a couple games.  In college, you basically assumed it was going in when he put it up.  Now, well, it's the opposite.  At least he's funny.

I'm all for pointing our the front offices' short comings.. they need to be held in check and accountable - but when you cross over into the ridiculousness - you lose the credibility and people just wave you off as a cry baby and our FO's problems get swept under the rug.. 

I think i have been leading the "trade MKG wagon" but Listing MKG as an F is silly.. Zeller has become a much better player than I thought he would be.. PJ netted us Courtney Lee - without him, we dont make the playoffs.. Frank is still a question mark in my book - but from game 5 alone against the Heat in the playoffs last year at least gives him a C..

    • 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.
