Knecht would be a good fit in Charlotte. Him and Miller would be giving out BUCKETS years to come. After watching him in the tournament this year, I think his game translates to the NBA one of the best out of anyone in this draft class

LaMelo needs ankle braces. The Hornets need to go to the top ankle specialist in the world, with LaMelo in tow, and get him the best ankle braces available. Then do the same with back doctors for Mark. If those 2 stay healthy, then that core 4 is going to the playoffs.

As a hornets fan, I really want us to be good cause the game I went to for the bucks was alright but we lost by like 11 or 20 cant really remember but it was bad. Also since this year Leaky was a rookie hopefully he’ll get more experience and end up really good!( also for the draft if we could get Harrison Ingram that would be awesome! 2 UNC players would be great!)

Hi, excellent video! I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan and the truth is that I would like the starting point guard should be Nick Smith jr.... I like him a lot, I also think he is a steal of the draft, I hope they give him a chance!!!! I'm so glad they got Clifford and Borrego out, two coaches that don't value or have vision for young up and comers. I hope Lee gives opportunities to the younger and with future, for me Nick Smith jr is one that could be the point guard of the future of Hornets!!!! Now if you ask me what I pick in the 6th of the draft: I like Ja'Kobe Walter!!!!! He is far away, but for having been on a team that didn't win!!!! Too bad it's so hard for the Hornets to see him!!!!

@nambawan2351 3 күн бұрын

So what about lamelo..

@Muertesutil 3 күн бұрын

Charlotte Hornets is the franchise with the least attraction for the players... Nobody wants to play in that city!!! If they don't move to Las Vegas, they will never be able to do much.... Why do I say this, because Lamelo Ball is a mega star that if I arrange to stay with the Hornets!!!! Same as Bridges (I think) that's why it's not so easy once you pick in the draft, many wait to go to another franchise more showy!!!!! The NBA should do something about that, example give more millions of dollars to those franchises so they can give a plus to the players and they want to be part of it!!!!! PS: That's my humble opinion!!! And I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan!!!!

Miles Bridges absolutely SHOULD NOT be playing the 4 next season. If he is, that is a failed offseason as far as I’m concerned. I’m tired of seeing a 6’7 PF out there. If you draft Knecht or any other wing player, then Bridges needs to go. You only keep Bridges if you trade down and pick Kel’el Ware to play PF next to Mark Williams.

Man fuck a tony Parker, I want another Jeremy Lin! That was really our last good back up point guard, we just need a guy who can play make, run a pick and roll, score 15-16 points, and we’ll be good. I don’t wanna draft a point guard tho, we need a starter at the 2, or have Brandon miller run the 2 and draft a 3. This is hindsight obviously, but I heard rumors of us trading up to 3, maybe we’ll take Sheppard at 3.

Use Bertans contract, this year's 1st and the 2 1st we got from Dallas and Miami to Utah for Lauri. Rather we keep Milies or sign n trade him for bench depth is up in the air. Ainge loves picks and I think a lineup of either Melo Miller Bridges Lauri Williams or Melo Miller G Williams Lauri Mark is easily a top 4 east team when healthy.

I think the Hornets gotta consider drafting Bridges replacement. At 6 there might be forwards there and Bridges just shot under 50 from the field, 33 from 3 and hes not good defensively. Thats not even mentioning the off court issues or the 100mil contract your projecting. Depends how the draft falls but i think moving on from Bridges should definitely be on the table.
