Article: Why Hornets Should Draft Andre Jackson, Jr

[mrl2016]

I know. It's hard to cut it in the northeast. We are overcrowded any way. Can use the space.

Stockholm syndrome?

Stockholm syndrome?

Probably not since I lived in LA, Miami, San Francisco , Boulder , Manhattan , Connecticut . It’s probably just that in all my travels NC sucks?

Interesting take... Dissing a whole state when you took me to task for dissing Cleveland here in the Yard a couple of months ago. I think I will quote you: "You are all blocked up..."

I have found over the years that NC is a beautiful and great place, especially when compared to LA, Miami, SF and Manhattan... So, perhaps you should take some of your own advice: go there and eat some peyote, take a hike in the woods or play some golf, see what it really has to offer, and perhaps clear your blockage...

But, that does not mean that the Hornets do not suck as an NBA franchise!

It blows. I’ll die on that hill.

Yikes! You are really blocked! What happened to you in NC? It could not be worse than what happened to you in Scotland, could it? Btw, we are still waiting for you to finish that saga....

I have never met this dude but if you asked me to name his four least favorite places in America I would have gone 4 for 4.

Why Hornets must target Andre Jackson Jr. in 2023 NBA Draft

The Charlotte Hornets taking Aandre Jackson Jr. with the No. 27 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft would provide them with their own Andre Iguodala.

Anyone who defends the Hornets should be banned from posting on this site and from rooting for UConn.

Cool, less people on the best mountains on the entire east coast then. Perfect

I think Jackson has the attributes and mindset to fill in much of Draymond Green's role if the Warriors decide not to pay Him what he'll like ask for. Can guard the 3 or a small 4 on the perimeter, rebound on the 1st and 2nd level, and run the offense without being asked to shoot too much.

Nets like to develop guys, but they also already have a non shooter in Ben Simmons meaning they could be looking at Andre as a long term project and building him up in g league

While I agree NC mountains are beautiful, I would argue that Vermont's mountains are as, or perhaps more, beautiful!

I think they are done with Simmons

Somehow people still believe in the franchise tanking players talent myth. It’s like talking to your buddy who says NFL teams shouldn’t draft the QB from X college because they never had anyone succeed in the NFL.

Qbs from X college isn’t a good analogy and that was always a stupid myth. Comparing the Browns to the Hornets is more accurate.

 

[Scoe]

Yep. If the Pistons, Knicks, Net's, Wizards, Magic or Hawks had drafted the same UConn players we'd hear the same crap about how they are a horrible franchise, etc.

All have had more success then the Hornets.

FWIW, this mock has Jackson going #39 to Charlotte.

A lot of debate on that….I personally think they wait one more season and then see if he’s moveable as an expiring. Doubt they attach assets just to move him

I now live close to Chatlotte. He gets drafted here, I will go to my first Hornets game decked out in my UCONN gear. Still won't go to see the Hurricanes though.
