You're the Charlotte Hornets. You get the #2 pick in the draft...what do you do?

Scoot. Let them boys figure it out

Always BPA if you suck enough to still get a top 5 pick.

You pick Scoot immediately without any time going off the clock.

Team isn’t going anywhere with Lamelo as THE GUY.

Have them figure it out.

They both have a modern skillset so pretty interchangeable at either guard spot but looking down the line you probably gotta move Melo 1-2 years before his extension ends & he hits UFA

He’s wanted the keys since day 1 and has never gotten them. I wouldn’t roll that dice

He’s significantly altered NBA history by flattening the odds

I’ll forever be amazed he was able to get that off

 

[frshstunna]

Long as one can shoot consistently you can play both those dudes together, so shouldn’t be an issue drafting another guard if you the Hornets

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Scoot and Lamelo would be great combo.

You need two playmakers anyways.

I was gonna save this take but I might as well let it blow. Vic's 3 pointer is the equivalent of Kareem's skyhook. Completely unguardable and he knows it. He should be taking 10+ every night when he's not mixing it up in the paint. He has the potential to shatter the all time points, rebounds and blocks records..all in 2-3 years faster than they were set

He was just hot that game.

Even though I doubt actual NBA length will bother him on contests that much, his mechanics are very good. Should be a 35% 3pt shooter.

that's really the central question about him imo
jumper looks good, but he's been far from elite historically.

sub 70% from the line, 31% from 3 on 130 attempts.


but it certainly looks good mechanically.

ive given up on trying to predict who will be an high level shooter and who won't

Already seeing round 2 going to be a rough one. No where to go but down after Tuesday

That list of highest drafted Frenchmen was rough.

This dude looks like he can get hurt very easily.

What a bad omen for Ousmane Dieng. datznasty

I saw video of Ooz working with Chip England, but defensively he is already an asset. 6’10ish with a plus 7ft wingspan and he’s very fluid with the ball. I just dont get why he is such a poor athlete, he isnt fat. But I like him from what I have seen so far. The Thinder cant shoot, none of them (well Dort and SGA are Muscula are sitting rn) so that is what it is but again I have been more than impressed defensively even the rookies. When they switch everything nobody gets passed their man, even Jokic couldnt get off

He will be fine - love Scoot
