#40 Pick traded to the Hornets, Pelicans select Dwayne Bacon

[nctarheel0619]

I'm okay with this.  He's a solid pick.

Ok, ok.. I really like bacon. Probably my favorite food. That is a good start.

Eh

He was a good player at FSU, and he caught my attention several times.

He's not Canadian right? Then yeah, I'm cool with this

I hope his mumber is 00 so his jersey looks like bacon and eggs

Bacon can guard multiple positions

Cho has to trade our second rounder for cash and stuff.  Why not just keep Jackson?

Might be looking into a trade exception or something.  We freed up 3 million with this one.  Better than Jackson, in my opinion.

Fantastic pick. Love that we are swinging for the fences. In the modern NBA you have to have long wings that can score and defend. Perfect player to take a chance on the second round. 

 

Now we just need a serviceable backup PG in FA and this Hornets team is set to make a decent run (i.e. out of the first round) provided we stay healthy

I do like Bacon, not bad value there.
