So it is a little early but right now it's looking like our pick will be between 11 and 15 unless something crazy happens. Where do you see our needs and who do you like in this draft.

We are going to really need a PF and I like PJ Washington from Kentucky. He is a 2 year player which mean he is a bit more polished and should be able to come in and make an immediate impact. He has a really long wingspan and has been improving as a 3 point shooter. I think he would pair very nicely with Miles.

It looks like Batum is now our SG again and I don't know what the plan for Monk is anymore (I don't see any chance of us being able to re-sign Lamb and I don't think we should) but if we go with a shooting guard I really like Kevin Porter Jr and of course Coby White.

I’m thinking the same for little and white

little is a long, long way from being an nba player

white can shoot and get his own shot, but would get eaten up on def and his floor game isn’t as polished as it needs to be

I have a feeling they both may return to school to make a run at a title next year.

Coby White- same size as Jeremey Lamb NOW (so probably will fill out more)

Can play PG to let Kemba rest

But can play SG, with his PG skills, probably one of the better handles, and passing for 2Guards

Can shoot

Create his own shot

And defend 

 

 

Plus should be around our pick

tankathon has this for the hornets 
http://www.tankathon.com/hornets
I like it for the front court. 

Hornets could go in a direction with resigning Kemba and offseason trades of youngsters.
If they are going as hard for experienced help in Kemba prime. 
They could trade the rookie contracts of players and draft picks. 
If they want to keep Lamb they need to make the room in the cap space. 
As Lambs replacement, I wouldn't mind seeing Bacon play 24+ mins a year.
It seems JB will use Kemba and Batum handling the ball. 

Anyway, it's difficult to comment on the Hornets as it's messy situation.
Regarding the draft picks. 

I'm afraid of Hornets drafting guards, most draft picks haven't worked out period. 
Next draft im liking 
6'6'' Culver
6'6'' Keldon
6'5'' Nickeil (would have been cool to have kept Shai and draft his relative also, anyways I like Miles)

The other guards may work out but If I have to go safe I like those 3.
Maybe there are other options if trading up or down.

The forwards 9 (I prefer to pick forwards and keep Kemba handling it)
6'9'' Sekou
6'9'' KZ
6'7'' DeAndre
(I'm worried with Gonzaga picks but maybe either Rui or Clarke both 6'8'')
(Also worried with Kentucky picks but maybe PJ 6'8'')

The bigs (Maybe good value after the forwards, defensive, length, athlete, pressure on/around the rim)
6'11'' Jaxson
7'2'' Bol
there are more in the back end if we trade down etc.

Interesting to see comments what the community thinks.
I'll be watching the draft

Id love to see a 

PG: Kemba

SG: Coby

SF: Bridges

With Monk coming off the bench as the 6th man scorer like Eric Gordon is with the Rockets 

 

 

Trying not to be a homer but id really take a real hard look a Cam Johnson in the 2nd.

How this dude isnt getting more love by NBA people confuses the heck out of me (reminds me of Danny Green coming out how underrated)  He is leading the whole ACC in offensive efficiency.  He is listed at 6'9 and playing the 3, but I think he is closer to 6'10.  He towers over other guys listed 6'8 (kinda reminds me when Texas listed Durant at 6'10). Dude would make one hell-of-a option as a stretch 4.

Dude is 

Putting right up at 17 points 6 reb playing less than 30 min a game.  He's shooting 47% from 3 and 51% from the field

I don't get it either.  Feel like he's going to sneak into the late 1st or be really early 2nd.  The Danny comp even makes me think a smart team like the Spurs would grab him, and make the rest of the league look foolish for passing on him. 

His age, injury history, and lack of perceived athleticism maybe hurting him?  Would be a 2nd round steal

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
