Might not be there at 43; may even have a late first round spot.PF Stephane Lasme, 6-8 225 A very tough shot blocking presence in the post, Lasme averaged a whopping 5.1 blocks per game at UMass this past season. Could spell the end of Brandon Bass if drafted, but probably wouldn't see time either way.PF Rashad Jones-Jennings, 6-8 231There is not much of a buzz for this guy, but his rebounding is his strength, averaging 13.1 rpg at Arkansas. Wouldn't really help us; might not even get drafted at all.PG Leroy Dawson 6-2 Averaged 14.8 points and 4.2 assists at NAIA Southern Nazarene college. Likely not to get drafted at all, and the Hornets are his first workout. Scott has said that he hasn't ruled out inviting him on their summer league roster. Honestly, I wouldn't want this guy on our roster, but let's see what he can do.</div>
I think Terry would be a steal at 43, but he may not fall that far... If does he should be up there alongside Demetrius Nichols on the Hornets draft board.
Talent or no talent, I wish we could quit looking at and picking up 6-8, 6-9 PFs lol. We got Cedric last year and he's 6'9". West is 6'9", Brandon Bass is 6'8" but maybe he's a SF I don't remember. Can't we get someone who isn't undersized to kind of mix things up in the post and give opposing teams different looks? Terry would be a nice addition, but likely won't happen.

I doubt we'll be drafting a big man, unless someone really good falls to us.

A more athletic 6'9" guy would maybe be find, but otherwise, a 6'11" - 7'0" guy that can block shots like Hilton / Tyson at the PF position would be nice to add.

I always thought that it would be nice to have a bigger big man on the Hornets roster (the last 7-footer we had before Chandler was Todd Fuller I believe, or even Vlade), but our undersized big men get the job done trust me. Bass has shown some offensive flashes in the post, David West has been great, and Cedric will be a nice defender with his 7'4 wingspan.
