No. We have two , 14 and 16. This is a good thing because of the depth of the draft. Everything will be fine.
And the conspiracy folks will make hay outta this one! Hey, Tom, wanna buy the Hornets? No. Several times No. OK, for the #1 pick included? Sign me up at your price.
@Jonathan_Feigen: I wrote in Dec. that it'll look horrible when NO wins lottery. It does. But anyone that's been in room (I was in 2002) knows can't be fixed. Can we stop all these lottery being rigged talk like spoiled brats already? It is what it is.
dude in football there are 7 rounds as opposed the nba format of 2 rounds so of course its much more feasible for someone to drop that far especially when it concerns NEEDS. QB, for example, wasnt needed by those other teams from what i remember so obviously rodgers dropped. Also with obvious roster size difference in the nfl and nba (50 something to 15) then of course someone of his stature can drop. however i understand that its a possibility that the likes of drummond may drop to #10 BUT his immense potential and size will make him be OVER drafted by a desperate team, like the rockets or another team looking for an impact big... 7 footers are very rare, so of course he'll be overdrafted. MKG however is a top 5 lock in all the mock drafts so i dont see him dropping at all. i'll just go charles barkley and say "i maybe, i maybe wrong!"
I was just throwing out names with Drummond and Kidd-Gilchrist it doesnt matter who they pick at 10 projected top ten is as follows First Round Anthony Davis PF 19 years old; 6'10"; 220 lbs. Kentucky, Freshman Thomas Robinson PF 21 years old; 6'9"; 240 lbs. Kansas, Junior Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF 18 years old; 6'7"; 228 lbs. Kentucky, Freshman Bradley Beal SG 18 years old; 6'4"; 201 lbs. Florida, Freshman Andre Drummond C 18 years old; 6'10"; 251 lbs. Connecticut, Freshman Jared Sullinger C 20 years old; 6'9"; 280 lbs. Ohio State, Sophomore Harrison Barnes SF 20 years old; 6'8"; 223 lbs. North Carolina, Sophomore Jeremy Lamb SG 20 years old; 6'5"; 185 lbs. Connecticut, Sophomore John Henson PF 21 years old; 6'11"; 220 lbs. North Carolina, Junior Damian Lillard PG 21 years old; 6'2"; 185 lbs. Weber State, Junior Kendall Marshall PG 20 years old; 6'4"; 180 lbs. North Carolina, Sophomore Perry Jones PF 20 years old; 6'11"; 220 lbs. Baylor, Sophomore Austin Rivers SG 19 years old; 6'4"; 203 lbs. Duke, Freshman Tyler Zeller C 22 years old; 7'0"; 250 lbs. North Carolina, Senior It doesnt matter who @ #10 bottomline they getting two great players to college standards
Thomas Robinson or Kidd-Gilchrist would instantly be the best player on that squad, far better than any free agent they could even manage to convince to visit. This is hardly a one-man draft.
The poInt is the rockets are less likely to make the playoffs and this is a rockets fan forum...of course this sucks for rockets fans. There is a chance the rockets end up being the worst in the division.
understood man. its a very deep draft and there are many potential things that can go our way so hopefully morey makes something happen
SPO A So Alex Smith went #1 in that draft he better than Rodgers my whole point it doesnt matter who at #10 the Hornets are getting a good player
Nope, just the worst record of ALL-TIME. That is a total stain on the franchise; that is a record that might never be broken. There is probably a better than good chance that the NBA ends up owning the Bobcats during the next CBA negotiations if they can't land an elite player very soon. Everyone b****es about #14, but at least the Rockets aren't an embarrassment to their city, to basketball, and the very idea of professional sports.
They'd only be the best player on that squad because the Bobcats have nothing to build around. Again, THE WORST SEASON IN NBA HISTORY! If that's not getting you a guaranteed superstar, it just isn't worth it.
Yup, it does pay off as long as it does not become a way of life. The Mavs lost Shaq in the draft because they beat us in a meaningless game.. The Spurs got Duncan tanking.... We got Olajuwon... Like Amaru said, the Hornets in one year of rebuilding have passed us long term.
And after years of collecting assets they have more value in one player than we do in our entire team.
Houston has better looking women than 90% of the rest of the country.. The North East is full of ugly chicks.
The Bobcats are closer to be contenders than this Rocket team. The Rockets franchise are an embarrassment to their fans....they literally don't give a **** about us
Hooray! Let's get another superstar at #14 so we can form our own big three with Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris!
