Well lets see here...the Hornets were lucky and that lucks name was Bob Bass.

1991 LJ #1 pick started off great then damn back injury

1992 Alonzo #2 pick, almost had Shaq but lucky to get #2

1996 Kobe Bryant #13 pick. oh what could have been, he bluffed and was traded to LA for Vlade Divac

1999 Baron Davis #3 pick lucked out on lottery again.

Bass was in San Antonio for those first two.

True, but I meant that Bass was able to keep the Hornets talent given a forced hand in having to trade away star players. Doesnt work that way in the NBA anymore though. When a star wants out today he says where he goes and the team is forced to get nothing or some cracker jacks and expired coupons. LJ and Zo were the no brainer picks those 2 drafts.

and call me crazy but i dont think we are that far off. Kemba and bismack were good draft picks. I dont know why some people believe that if you pick in the top 10 you get an allstar. hopefully we get a anthony davis/barnes/gilchrist type player, have another bad year and get a high draft pick.

also in anykind of business you do certain things to generate excitement about your product.

I didn't .....and still don't....like the Kemba and Bismack picks.

Kemba is an undersized guard who is not a great shooter. I think he is going to struggle to get his points.

Bismack has so little offensive ability right now. He is a major project.

I still look back at the Augustine pick as the defining moment of this franchise....the reason they are still struggling.

He is a solid guard, but we desparately needed a big man....and Lopes was sitting there. Now he is a 20+ point and 12+ rebound guy. And, we still have no inside game.

We have drafted the same player three times. Felton....Augustine...Walker. We are the Detroit Lions (when they sucked) of the NBA.

And it has been reported that Augustin was a Larry Brown pick and Jordan wanted Lopez.

I think Biz has shown marked improvement since being inserted into the starting lineup. The Raptors game and @ Orlando are the most notable games for Biz.

8 pts, 13 reb, 7 blocks..not much more you could ask from a 19 year old.

He definitely is.

However, his brother Larry was a really nice guy. I played pick-up ball with him for years at UNCC and did not even know he was MJ's brother.

His other brother James was a world class a-hole, too. But he retired from the Army as a Command Sergeant Major, so I guess it came with the job.
