11th...

Charlotte isn't the greatest organization but I think playing with Melo will get him an extra 2-4 points a game mostly because he has a chance to run and to go downhill when so much of his UConn career was half-court-oriented.
 
was hurley at the draft or was there a limit on attendance?

Am I the only one who is tired of those commenting on facial expressions or body language who think they know what Bouk is thinking or feeling? Hated it during the season and still do. I would bet James is ecstatic about becoming a multimillionaire and getting paid to play a game he loves.

Nope but it’s a visible noticeable true aspect of the kid. If I were him I’d be visibly disappointed last night too, all this smoke about going 6-8 to have that many pass you up? But I wouldn’t be surprised if that dismissed look he had in many games last year is a reason some teams didn’t draft him. I read that after the magic he didn’t work out for any of the other teams til the hornets, so him going at 11 makes more sense to me now. But that mopey look? it’s gotta be a turnoff and he has to stop doing that. He’s on the hornets, not GS so he will lose many games. Fans and management don’t want to see that even if you’re losing, NBA games flip in a 3 minute span, gotta keep the head up and keep working

I can't wait! But don't buy yet, he is probably switching numbers!

Plus my experience, Fanatics brand stinks!

I’m definitely waiting until the number is official.

I don’t think all the items on that site are actual Fanatic brand. I believe they’re more of a distributor. They sell plenty of the same products as other stores and stores.

Yeah absolutely, it's a great fan shop for the good brands ... but they do have their own brand of gear and it sucks. This particular jersey you linked to is Fanatics brand. Just a heads up, I've had some less than stellar stuff from the brand.

Wow, I didn’t even look that closely. Thanks for the heads up!

Good chance (not great) that Hawkins could be a lottery pick next year. He has a prototypical NBA skillset and height. Only thing against him will be that playmaking, ballhandling and getting stronger. If he can put up 12ppg on 40% 3 point shooting, he's gone.

If coaches are willing revamp our offense to showcase shooting and young talent, we could become a real destination.

The showcase is for national championships.

Agree Bouk did some fantastic things for UConn but he never was a particular favorite of mine just because of the body language.

PS I never said I didn’t like him. Just not a favorite.

1,000% correct. Two of the best jerseys ever, those Hornets and Magic 90s.
 
Who cares about facial expressions? So many people quick to judge cause he might’ve looked disappointed or pissed. But every kid acts differently. Bouknight has always been more reserved in expressing emotions, you guys should know that from watching him the past two years! He’ll eventually learn the business/showbiz side of it, but gotta understand, he’s only 20 years old…

More importantly is how he is as a teammate and person. I’ve never heard anyone say anything but good things about him in that regard. Good teammate, well liked, and is a hard worker. That’s what matters (along with talent of course).

As expected, no more Monk in CHA

Yep, as expected. I like Monk, but his inconsistency and inability to stay on the court is so frustrating. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he kills it on a new team tho, he’s super talented and really young. But when Bouk fell to the Hornets, they weren’t passing on that talent and it’s not worth it for the Hornets to extend him at that point. Now I’m curious to see what happens with Rozier and Graham. Either way, very excited for James and what’s to come, he’s in a good spot and an actual GM that has a plan for the roster.
 
One man's opinion. For Bouk's sake (and ours) I'm hoping the team surprises the league.
 
Certainly changes things for Bouk. It was an odd fit prior to these moves but now there are serious minutes available.

Sure seems like Bouk is the projected starter.

Almost like Charlotte knew they weren't going to offer a contract to Monk and let Graham walk

I was on a walk tonight through Uptown Charlotte and happened to see this while passing Spectrum Center. Thought I’d share
