Paul Silas' Draft History


Porn Shop Clerk

Recommended Posts

I haven't seen this brought up or discussed anywhere since everyone wants to hang picks on Jordan's head, but I was doing a little looking around today and compiled a few things I think are of interest concerning Paul Silas' draft record:

1998: 19th overall, Ricky Davis

50th overall, Andrew Betts

1999: 3rd overall, Baron Davis

43rd overall, Lee Nailon

2000: 19th overall, Jamaal Magloire

2001: 16th overall, Kirk Haston

After that, in Cleveland he drafted Lebron (can't really give him credit for that pick), Jason Kapono and Luke Jackson.

Overall not bad at all.

B Davis was his best draft pick IMO. I really used to love that guy in his first years here. I still remember when he dunked on KG on a open court fast break his rookie season.

Cosign Davis has always been one of my favorite players to watch .

Hopefully Silas has more say than MJ although MJ likes Kemba and I am a fan as well.

Was at the game, the place went crazy.

Kirk Haston was an awful pick.

This, I think, is the best youtube clip of the Hornets:

Lee Nailon and Eddie Robinson...I remember them lol. They were some pretty decent players. I always thought Nailon was going to be a star, but he never panned out.

Back when the Hornets were here, I remember every game I would go to, Baron would make some amazing play. He was my favorite player for the longest; atleast until Paul came in the league. I still remember being in the Hive when they decided to sport the headbands for the playoffs. Big Elden Cambpell in a headband :rofl:

Silas wont be the man making the call. He will have input, but no where near the input that Larry Brown had(Which was wayyy too much).

MJ and Higgins will select who they feel fits in the best. There are rumors on BobcatsPlanet that the Cats could deal 1 or both 1st rounders and Augustin for Steph Curry which would be a fantastic deal.....especially considering the jersey sales and the fact most fans would forget Wallace if Curry was brought in as the face of the franchise.

    • Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring. 
    • I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.
    • Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
