2017 NBA Draft [Archived] Basketball • Page 2

I don't think there's that much difference between fox and ball

 

I think Ball is a better shooter and playmaker. If Fox's jumper (preferably three) is more consistent, than the gap is smaller imo, but I would still take Ball.

 

I want Tatum but that'd require a trade up.

Will either Kentucky guy drop to Hornets?

 

Fox? Why would you want another point guard?

 

We just need people that can score. And we need a second PG. it's not like Fox will be a big impact as a day one starter.

 

Monk and Fox should be gone by the Hornets pick.

 

He's not really a scorer, his jump shot is eh. Also I disagree, I think he'll be an impact player very much so. There's no way he falls to 11 though, idk if he'll even work out for them tbh

 

Honestly, the Hornets are near the point in the draft where GM's will start seriously thinking about Collins.

 

@Swoos you should be looking at guys like Terrance ferguson, Donovan Mitchell, Luke kennard etc. maybe trading down would make sense or just trading the pick like last year

 

I'm all for trading the pick over taking another PF who needs a few years

 

I'm sure you can get scoring guard in FA though, why not actually try to get a rim protector this year? The tears of willie trill still run rampant

 

The Hornets are in a tough spot at 11. Bridges staying in school hurt them, he would seem the obvious pick. Anunoby makes some sense. Maybe Ntilikina will drop but I doubt it

 

They should make the lottery earlier this year since the finals are over

 

Anunoby sounds good in theory, but there are some folks that think he needs to miss the whole season a la Simmons. I'm not sure what the Hornets horizon looks like in that regard.

 

The more I think about it, Collins would be a good fit beside Cody which is the hardest part of finding another big. We are so much better with a healthy Zeller. He runs the P&R so well with Kemba. Collins is a solid defender but athletic enough to avoid clogging up the middle.

In free agency I want to find someone that can score and replace MKG as the starter. I know that sounds crazy but I think I like MKG off the bench, almost like an Iggy type role, more than I do as a starter.

 

So.. Justin Jackson?

 

We were close to Hayward a few years ago when he was a RFA. I doubt we can lure him in but wouldn't shock me if we tried again.

 

It would be the celts if anything.

Ideal for Sixers would be Fultz at 1 and Monk at 4/5 right?

 

Any chance Ball goes over Fultz? Haven't been following too closely. Knicks or especially Lakers?

 

Lonzo Ball looks like a dork.
