Hornets fan, I’m not totally upset with the Salaun pick. If there were ever a draft to go upside, it’s this one and from what I’ve heard, Tidjane has an insane motor

@woomington

2 күн бұрын

Hornets fan here. I like the pick. Pj Washington was small for the 4 spot, and was offensive minded. We won’t need Salaun to shoot the ball, so I don’t really understand his criticism here. We needed size and dept at the 4-5. We are so guard heavy, we had to select a foward, and I truly think he was the best option all along at 6. I just wondered if we could’ve got him while trading back, drafted Clingan and traded him to blazers, then got salaun, and a second round. I think Clingan is that good at center. Clingan edey and ware are the centers to immediately get minutes and starts. Now we have mark Williams and arguably the best backup value contract at center in Nick richards, drafting a PF makes the most sense so I 100% vote it’s a winner and not a loser. He’s a more athletic but smaller Rudy gobert who has potential to shoot the ball.

@@guibblegabble1280 yeah just thinking of matchups for him. He’s the only guy in the draft that can guard 1-5 efficiently, besides Alex sarr, maybe daron Holmes. He arguably is the best defender in the draft besides stephon castle or a Ryan Dunn. And this makes me so happy because we were high on Cody Williams and Knecht, so drafting Salaun suggests that our management has faith in Tre Mann and Nick smith jr, who I think will flourish into the best bench role players in the east in the next few years. So not trading Nick smith or tre Mann anytime soon. Big brain play is to trade up in this second round and grab Tyler smith. Or trade back, and grab a Jalen bridges. Add more length and youth please. We can get our vets through trades and free agency. We need youth on the floor

Idk what the Spurs are doing. Everyone talks about the "VALUE" of draft picks. Last year they traded away Leonard Miller, this year Rob Dillingham. Maybe one or both of these players would have worked out. Especially with a rebuilding team.

Timberwolves Boston Lakers are some off the top of my head

20:02 As a Charlotte Hornets fan at first I was highly disappointed and upset but honestly the pick is aging well so far just knowing the work ethic and the physical tools and the potential to develop the shot is exciting

Saläun has the potential to be the best player in this draft. Also has the potential to be a complete bust though 😵‍💫 I really wanted the Spurs to get him but I'm happy for him to reach such an unexpected high pick

and him going to the horbets makes the latter one more possible

The spurs trade bothers me having dillingham and castle in the backcourt would have been awesome to see.

I think the Hornets are just planning for the future and this guy is the definition of a future player. Let his game develop and let it all take time to come together. We are not ready to compete and no single player from last night was going to change that. I get how outside looking in it could seem like a loss. I really do. But Hornets fans have been asking for a proper rebuild/retool for years and this pick proves that we are finally getting one. I like Tidjane's upside and honestly outside of our key players, he might already be one of the best players on the roster. His game just needs to be refined and I actually trust the trajectory of his shot. He has been an elite shooter but has been respectable shooting roughly 35% across multiple tournaments, competitions...etc.

I am a french hornets fan since 1992 and I also saw Tidjane play this year...and from me it's really good pick it's a real dawg who loves work. Last year nobody bet on Coulibaly and for me Tidjane has a better potential

Yeah the Bucks showed their hand on this one. They are second guessing giving up all those picks for Dame and know they are getting older so they drafted a guy that could be great in five years because they aren't gonna get another chance for awhile.

As a Hornets fan, I wanted Matas Buzelis. But I'm willing to give Tijane a chance. Looking at his highlights, he has a high motor, attacks the rim aggressively, and is a lob option. Not to mention he won MVP of the Trophée du Futur tournament.

Spurs decided to move the 8th pick because charlotte took the guy they wanted. He has a a lot of upside he is a Gianni’s level athlete with a way better shot at this point. Incredible work ethic and a high motor when playing. I think in a couple years he will be a steal at 6

Love the troll clickbait thumbnail to make it look like Knecht was a Loser absolutely love it 😂😂

Any reason we didn't see any players traded last night?

Okc got a top 5 players, just gotta wait another year. The rich get richer

Pistons won if Fred Vinson fixed Herb Jones …OMG Ron Holland will be a monster

Thoughts on Ron Holland?

tbh I feel like the best fit for Charlotte was Ron Holland, but seeing how Detroit decided to sabotage themselves by choosing him as another non-shooter in their roster I feel like Hornets made a pretty bold pick, hoping that at the very least his rim presence will immediately translate into an improvement for the whole team, and if they manage his development well, then in 5 years we will be wondering why Spurs or Detroit passed on him. His 3pt shooting also isn't really that atrocious, it has to be noted that his % is much better than Wemby's was last season in the same league, even tho they shot at similar volume - although, obviously, Salaun wasn't even getting a quarter of Wemby's defensive attention. Overall, I'm intrigued by that pick, especially as a Spurs fan who hoped that we will pick him at 8th, it's a ballsy move from Hornets, just like last years pick of Brandon Miller, which turned out to be the right choice

Could have been better for Spurs but not bad. Not in love with pick but Castle will be aight. And snagging a couple of firsts for 8 was nice considering Salaun was gone. Good job. Second round should be fun.

If he’s a PG then go for Klay Thompson in free agency or trade for Zach Lavine. If he’s a SG then go for D’Angelo Russell or Tyus Jones. Either way this pick enhances the Magics FO flexibility. Magic look promising and can see them being finals contenders in 2-3 years

I disagree with your take on the Hornets being losers. I mean, last year, you said they were losers for picking Miller over Scoot but liked James Nnaji in the second (that guy might not ever play a game in the association). Frankly, I see way more potential and polish in Salaün than I did with James.

Blazers should’ve kept their second lottery pick and all those future picks and just selected Dalton Knect at 14. Stupid.

Agree w most of this, but I think Castle will bust as a non-shooter. Maybe a good defender and decent slasher, but more of a 12-15 type pick and comparable to Cam Whitmore.

Dillon Jones isn't even really a guard, an he plays much more like a wing. He was also one of the best rebounders at his position in the country. He has excellent defensive instincts and is decisive with the ball, which is a very good thing in OKC's offense. He also fits the Thunder's Modus Operandi of players who can guard multiple positions at a high level. Also why would the Thunder need to address size in the draft when they have like $35 million in cap space? There is no reason to stress about size in the least right now.

He was by far the best talent available at pick 12, and no, he isn't just Giddey 2.0. Topic has better handles than Giddey at the time they were drafted, and while not quite as gifted a passer, is much better at finishing at the rim than Giddey. Dillon Jones is a big, physical, tough body with good defensive instincts who was statistically one of the best rebounder for his size and position in the nation.
