Got to say, the LockedOnLive thing is probably the easiest to watch/listen to of the three in the first round (so far) - bringing in the local podcasters is kinda cool.

I listen to Locked on Hornets pretty much everyday, enjoy Locked on
@FoundingHornet - your take if we don’t pick a big at #32, are you thinking we in play for Wood (or someone else of some significance) in free agency?
Crossing my fingers Jaden McDaniels keeps falling
Would like Vernon Carey
I wanted him initially but there seems to be some real concerns about him being a flake. And, not sure how many pairs of relatives we want on one squad lol
He wouldn’t be the best fit but he’s just got alot of talent, if he falls out of the first I’d just take it
Knicks should take RJ here, they’d make out of the draft pretty well
Damn… didn’t realize Carey was in the draft bc I haven’t heard anything about him. I know he was highly regarded as a recruit.
What happened to RJ Hampton? Why is he falling?
Have not heard much there
I think we like Joe as a 2 Guard but after selecting Ball and not trading Monk, pretty sure we go Azibuke or Oturu.
Woods would make a lot of sense but my guess is we sign Biz, draft a Big and hope Zeller stays healthy.

Ok, the picks and trades and complete shuffles and the timing diffs between LockedOnLive and my TV are making me think I might wind up in 1985 in a DeLorean.
Here’s excerpts from the espn write up of the Charlotte ball pick:
Oh, this is great.
“Has struggled to score efficiently throughout his career. Shot just 46% from 2-point range and 25% from 3. Shoots jumpers with unorthodox mechanics”,
…” but his inability to buy a basket at times this season in the half court was discouraging”
“Indifferent defender for much of his career. Still reverts back to that frequently, especially off the ball. Struggles to get over screens due to his lack of strength. Has been maligned at times for his work ethic and level of focus.”
…” Projected role: Franchise point guard”
I’ll say it once. Ball was a horrible pick. Absolutely dreadful.
Knicks shoulda just took RJ
I am team Azubuike for sure. 7’ with a 7’7" wingspan? Let’s go
That’s who I like but Oturu could be a steal too
I would really like Vernon Carey Jr. if he makes it to 32. The defense is concerning but the offense is already there, and apparently he’s spent the offseason dropping some weight trying to get faster to improve his chances on D. So he realizes where he needs to improve.
Welp.
So much for that.
So we’re down to Tillman or Oturu at this point it would seem if we’re getting a bona fide big.
Sorry, implied in that is that I am not real high on Carey.
Not nearly as good as the Others and I’m a Miami guy
Oturu… cmon… move up
