You like Harris, Young, or Stauskas? I'd like to see Stauskas be the pick unless there was a chance Hairston would be there later.
I don't like Young at all and I'd rather take Hood to be straight up about it. All things considered, he had Randle playing 1 on 3 bully ball all year long and he really didn't make the most of it. Harris had a similar role while playing hurt in a somewhat alike situation. Nik... I don't want to say he's 'safe', but I can't think of any other way to describe him. Like the yahoo link says - worst case scenario, he's gonna be a good shooter. And everybody needs a shooter so :manny:

Harris isn't even 19 I think though. If his only knock is his height, then you have to take him. The Hornets aren't at the position where they have to draft based on need yet. The team is really young and between this year and next they'll have plenty of shots at FA. If we were gonna pick up one more high potential kid, I'd be perfectly fine with it being Harris in a free 1st round pick that actually came from dealing Stephen Jackson back when people were saying we should've kept the 'core' together. :mjlol:

Harris off the bench for Charlotte? What's good with Gerald Henderson? And if you want Harris to be the starter, wouldn't that be a cause for concern size wise with a potential Kemba/Harris backcourt?

Kemba's not a bad defender by any means. I'm not worried about that. And Gerald Henderson just proved this year that he should not be the starter for this team anymore. Hornets were already shown as interested in trading for Afflalo anyways - and they definitely can't afford to keep him with Oladipo and Harris needing more minutes.

I doubt Harris starts in any circumstance though.

Interesting. Well I guess there's more Cavs fans than usual.

Talk about that in the Cavs thread and lemme know what y'all come up with

Dude I've been a CAvs fan it's pretty much a bunch of is ohio dudes.

And I'm also on the wiggins bandwagon.

But brehs I'm telling you if Parker has his weight in check and shows up at individual workouts well I'd take Parker especially if it means kyrie returning

@phillycavsfan @SoulController I figure y'all get first crack at the Philly pick unless y'all pass

im just in the media market, not my squad dont really have one. they cant lose, no matter how bytchy the fans get. they can use any of the big 3, and didnt get screwed out of the 10. i think they may reach a bit for need at 10 if need be, a ready made 3 like Dougie could be ideal with 3 other young players in the starting lineup (and Thad)

i know its not a unique distinction, alot of guys dont play D but Young's is just horrible. im sure he can improve but damn he doesnt even know where to be half the time. hes gonna give up as much as he scores for a minute
