I know players and agents wait for the market to be set by the top FA before they sign but do Miles think he's worth PG13 money? I'm sorry NO

Sign and trade Miles for Lavine, I’ve heard that the Bulls are willing to throw in a 1st round pick for whoever takes Lavine.

How do teams like Philadelphia have the funds to sign about 2 to 3 players to maximum contacts… When we can barely afford to pay one player like Miles Bridges🤔

Jalen Smith is an underrated free agent. Can play both 4 and 5. Sign and trade Miles with Jazz for either John Collins or Lauri Markkanen.

hope we keep miles at this point. he has chemistry with the guys and durability is underrated in the league

He's like a French Shawn Marion

If you've watched his highlights if he can make his highlights his floor he'll be a good role player at the 4

no tanking, charlotte must be done tanking and rebuilding. folks please do not forget, we are banking on growth of the team, not this draft pick. This pick is a bonus piece that WILL contribute.

His floor is a younger, bigger "PJ Washington" that's a better finisher around the basket. If he eventually shoots 38-40% from 3, he's an All-Star.

It's clear that the Spurs had definite interest at #8 and the Spurs know more about French basketball than any other nba team. What's refreshing is that this pick was not a Kupchak pick. Mitch would've taken the safe choice rather than a swing for the fences. The Hornets will never escape mediocrity unless they have the stones to take high upside risks. Blocks are not that important if you can alter shots adequately.

So if charlotte picked Dalton knecht they wouldn’t be tanking? lol like what. y’all really think dalton would have made a HUGE difference in between the play in tournament and tanking?

Everyone will hate this but Tidjane S. reminds me a lot of Jaxon Hayes, but the verson of Hayes where he can shoot and has grit toughness, dog, work ethic.

Miles can play the 3, I’d say grant Williams should be watching draft and feel worried lol

That pick shouldn't be shocking if you follow basketball.

I LOVE THIS PICK. Fit, Youth, Upside, Height, Wingspan, Heart, Hustle, Want to get better... and hes a better shooter than Matas, Holland, Sarr, Castle, Clingan, etc... This piece keeps you in the lottery next year when we could lose our first rounder. This new staff is one that specializes in development. They hang their hat on it and believe it will pay off. Coach Lee worked with Giannis and Tatum. He knows what makes a prospect like that pan out. Get Hype. The push towards dominance has BEGUN.

Having him at 19 is crazy, ngl

Did you Kevin Pelton's statistical prospect ranking? Dalton missed the top 30... Cody Barely made it. Reed 1, Clingan 2, Risacher 7, Castle 10.. I bet all 4 are gone by 6. Hornets should TRADE BACK... Richaun Salaun or Jakobe Walter or Tyler Smith or Kyshawn George. That's where I'm at.

He'll be a solid career backup.

Great to have Krysten on with her excellent insights. She believes in Castle’s potential to improve his shot, so hopefully we have that choice at 6.

You guys should ask why do players leave and make finals 2 stright years. Look at Martin what he did in Miami for us now he’s gonna get paid. For ur team he just never got used

Completely agree guys, with risacher likely gone he should be number 1 on our board by a wide margin. If this team is ever going to be relevant it has to start on the defensive end and Castle is the perfect player to set the tone in Charles Lee’s system.

He's Ben Simmons 2.0. Yet analysts are high on him???

He's not a good shooter the Hornets need scoring castle is just another mkg

Chase's volume is so much lower than James' that it is near impossible to enjoy content, thanks.

perfect? he cant shoot so perfect isnt the right term... how is his D against nba guys though... is castle better than tre rn?

Chase needs to turn up his mic. Can hardly hear him.

drafting for defense is a really really bad idea -- draft for offense ceiling and FA for defense and rebounding bc u gotta know your dogs not guess

cons... if u cant score u dont play in elite crunch time... hard pass

But he had no answer for Jack Gohlke who may go undrafted.

Theres no way Klingan carries a team on his back to the NCAA championship. Swap him and Edey in college and theres no way

It's just wild that Clingan is being even contemplated as a top 10 pick. His comp: Mark Williams (a much better free throw shooter) didn't even make lottery pick, yet despite Clingan's injury history he's still projected to go top 10. Either that speaks to how weak the class is or how out of sync the scout analysis is.

i dont understand the clingon hype... how is he gonna score? edey had faster footwork

If we draft clingman, we could consider trading him

As a rockets fan I don’t think they do this. We don’t have any rotation minutes for Martin. And Jock contract is not guaranteed. Plus could probably get more from other teams looking to trade up.

I like Cody Martin when he's on the floor, but he seldom is. I'd do this in a heartbeat if I'm Charlotte. I don't think Houston will go for it though. Way too much injury risk with Martin. I just don't think he has much value because of that.

Carter will be the shock pick of the draft. Spurs could take him at 4 or the Hornets at 6. He will be a guy in the NBA! He’s not getting out of the top 10.

no 1 prospect by far

If they’re drafting him, it’s got to be because he has a high floor, and they know they’re getting a high end, off the bench guy. He’s not a starter on a playoff team. No knock on him, props to him for getting himself to this point, but that’s just the way the league is going.

NBA height measurements are routinely misrepresented. Your list doesn't include Steph Curry, Jalen Brunson, Terry Rozier, Tyrese Maxey etc... Kemba Walker would have made the cut as well as last year's coveted draft pick Scoot Henderson, Mike Connelly, Darius Garland. Even Donavon Mitchell is listed at 6'3" in shoes. Not buying what you're selling because as all the names above attest, talent trumps size.

I’m ignoring all content about Devin Carter from this point on. No thanks, especially at #6. The fact that people are even talking about him like this reflects poorly on this draft class overall.

Omg so much passion on the scouting report specially on the negative way, Chase was over the top to get his negativity point across the line. Every player in this draft is not perfect, this guys is an offensive player, he needs to work on defense and playmaking, but I don’t think he is a liability as Chase was eluding too. What I will like to see is a matrix decision in terms of weight on what is important vs other potential draft players at 6. Knecht is not going to have the ball on his hands, and he will provide effort on defense.

Charlotte Hornets history began with a high flying three level scorer that played average to less defense named Rex Chapman.

NBA is transitioning to 3 point shooting and knecth can shoot and attack the basket. He can figure the defense out(he has the size/ability). He was dropping 30-40points in college so obviously wasn’t focused on defense as prime job. Castle/sheppard will be gone by 6 imo, so who else you picking? Clingan? I want knecth. Yea if we trade back to like 8-9 it would make more sense but from the mocks I’ve seen knecth goes earliest 5 and I’m convinced the spurs will pick castle 4 and at 8 they will select knecth so trading back to 9 won’t get you knecth.

the key for a real playoff run this year will be martin playing elite D and finding a rebounder who can score a little

i seriously think nsj is gonna be MIP next year so drafting a pg like castle who cant score over nsj isnt it for me

dalton would be a great 3rd option at the 2-3 beside bm and melo on offense but i doubt charles lee wants him on D

I'll like Dalton and if miles is gone , I would rather have Caleb love at our pick !!!

im cool w dalton w a trade back w grizz but then let miles walk and sign a good FA like claxton who w mark stops the bully ball against us

Dalton Knecht is super intriguing as a player but man we need defense so badly. It’s hard to justify that pick without a clear plan to improve defense elsewhere.
