Cam Johnson is going to be a stud, if he's there in the second round when we pick I would sprint to the podium

Coby is a baller. If he stays at UNC one more year he'll be a top five pick. If we can nab him, get him now. 

Otherwise I love the dude from UVA

Shooting was not my point.  White is a smallish two guard similar to Monk.  He has not been as good in college as Monk was.  Langford at least has some size.  Sometimes shooting will come around being short and soft is not fixable.

Monk is 6'3

White is the exact same size as Jeremey Lamb at 6'5

 

 

Wasnt as good in college?

Monk was shooting 39.7% from deep.

White is shooting 37.9% from deep.

Monk played 32 minutes per game at 19.8 ppg, 2.5 rbg, 2.3 apg, and .9 spg

White 27 minutes per game, playing the PG.  16.3 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 4.1 apg, 1 spg

This while White playing far better competition.

 

 

 

Monk Still doesnt have the handles and passing abilities as Coby even in his 2nd NBA season.

 

Coby is bigger and more athletic can play the 1 or 2.

Monk is smaller and less athletic, and cant play the 1 due to his lack of handles and passing.   And is really too small to guard other NBA SGs.

White is only 185 pounds.  It will take him a good while to be strong enough to compete in the NBA, if he ever does.  We need a strong athletic guy with good size to play next to Kemba.  If we get a lottery pick I do not want to see us spend it on a guy who can't play with Kemba, unless Kemba is gone.  One of Monk's biggest issues is that he can't play beside Kemba.  That is one reason he does not get many minutes.

Jeremy Lamb- This Season.  6'5 185

Coby White- This Season 6'5 185

 

He is litterally the same size as our current starting SG and he's only 19 so he will fill out.  Plus with his experience at PG has better handles and passing than any SG we've had here. 

 

Your really reaching for excuses here

Lamb is not ideal next to Kemba either.  His defense has been nothing special, sometimes weak.  I think some of you are reaching so you can draft a tarheel.

So youd rather have a good who cant shoot as well, handle as well, pass as well, and defend as well......just because he's 20 pounds heavier?

Gtfo....thats how MKG picks happen

bit late now but it would have been interesting backcourt solution to have kept Shai and drafted his cousin Nickeil
here is some video of Nickeil, he is playing good comp in the ACC
his form looks good, mature all round game both sides of ball. 
size Shai 6'6'' , Nickeil 6'5''

I was happy to see us draft SGA.  I like Miles too but we might would have been better off to have kept SGA.  Losing Kemba would not sting as much if SGA were waiting in the wings.  We would not have needed Parker with SGA. 

yes unfortunately we see it so clear in hindsight, sigh our hornets could have should have. 
oh well, lets see our luck this year draft

SGA is a real point guard.  Coby is probably a two guard.  SGA is plenty big for the point.  Coby is smallish for the two guard.

Given how things are ending and the likelihood that Kemba walks none of this matters any more.  Just draft BPA and do not worry about need.

The thing is

The whole reason people wanted to bring him in, was to be able to pair him with Monk or even Kemba.  

For him to guard NBA 2guards because Monk and Kemba were to small to guards a SG

 

So explain to me how a 6'5 185 Coby White is too small to guard NBA SGs but a 6'6 180 SGA is big enough to guard them?   Your making no senses

SGA would play the point and guard other point guards.  SGA is a legit point guard.  Coby has not proven he can play the point at the NBA level which makes him a shooting guard when being evaluated for a lottery pick.  In my mind he is a similar player to Monk and would be redundant for us.

Again

The only reason he was being brought up because he was "big enough to guard SGs"  

Monk at 6'3 isnt big enough to. Monk would have to guard the PG. Some people even mentioned bring him to start beside Kemba, because he was big enough to guard SGs unlike Kemba and Monk

 

And at 6'6 180 he was looked at being able to.

Yet you point blank say a guy who is 6'5 185 and more athletic isnt big enough?   Your nit making any sense

Hornets could do some major moving in the draft if we start losing consistently in the next few games. It is possible we could drop to the sixth spot. It would take to some serious losing and some luck form some of the west coast teams we're in front of right now

      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.
