Re: Player you don't want your team to draft. If the Hornets take Acie Law I'll be disappointed, but I'll be happy with anyone we take. We need depth at every position now that injuries have become a factor.

New Orleans should just take Nick Young, not that hard of a decision to make.. he's 6'6, 7'4 wingspan, tons of room to improve defensively, and a great scorer/finisher. His ball-handling skills are superb and he could take some of the responsibility that Chris Paul has as New Orleans' PG.

Besides, New Orleans would have a tiny ass backcourt. They'd be beaten by stronger and taller guards.
Re: Player you don't want your team to draft. The Hornet's are better off bringing in a SG/SF. They already have an all-star talent at PG, fill the backup role with a FA, not a lottery pick.

Most players gain lots of weight and muscle when the season ends and he has put on no weight. He still showed ALL his weaknesses that he showed during the season, in the workouts. He's a project with no work ethic.
Re: Player you don't want your team to draft. drafting the guy I want (Green) and giving him away for a 32 year old SG who's coming off knee surgery... OH F#*K!!

But dont be surprised if we see McRoberts get a 15ppg season in sometime during his career. With the right team, players and improvement, he has the talent to be a mediocre scorer in an uptempo system.
