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..

    • The Raiders have already shown enough interest in Jeanty that anyone after 6 that wants him and would trade up for him, will already be calling the Jags for a trade anyways. The only thing them signaling interest in Jeanty could do if their interest was to trade back, would be to bluff the Raiders into making a swap with them to add draft assets while still drafting whoever they are actually targeting.
    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
