    Yeah it could be Jordan's friends. There's probably a lot of people in the inner circle of the Hornets though - so it doesn't have to just be Jordan, could be one of the new owners, GM, somebodies wife, one of their friends, heck maybe even LaMelo was told and LaVar is in Vegas throwing those big baller bets down.

    If Scoot ends up being a great talent, then he will be taken before our pick. Conversely, if we take him, he will turn out to be way overrated. I don't make the rules, it's just that we're cursed.

    (Of course, the Hornets are pretty cursed, too - so maybe that will work in our favor?)

    Did this apply to Dame and Sharpe as well?

    Shams just posted that the Blazers could shock the draft and take Thompson at 3 if Scoot is taken at 2

    I know the Blazers like Amen but what if they are trying to get the Rockets who I believe is in love with him to trade up with Portland to get him

    Blazers get the Rockets other 1st to move up one spot then Blazers get another asset AND Miller OR maybe Miller is taken by the Rockets and Portland still takes Amen at 4 but still get that extra 1st.

    Only problem with that is I am not sure Cronin is that smart but I guess we shall see

    Are we just allergic to wings, is that the reason?

    Thompson can play a wing position too.

    Just a hunch. I think Scoot at 2 noise is coming from a possible deal the Hornets have with the Pels for Zion.

    Hayward + Scoot for Zion.

    Haha yeah... Cronin was set on Scoot to pair with DameAnt. Miller as a forward? Hell no, we need more GUARDS. So we're pivoting to the next guard option.

    Dame, Ant, Sharpe... and now Amen!

    Problem is we traded away both Hart and GPII... what are some more GUARDS we can sign with the MLE? Then we can have FIVE or SIX guards. Lets us play GUARDS all over the frontcourt for the entire 48 minutes of a game.

    That should not be shocking at all.
    Several draft evaluators had Amen ahead of Miller and also some even had Thompson with a higher ceiling, than scoot.

    Does that mean Amen or Ausar?

    Yeah Ausar at #3 would REALLY shock the draft.
