										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hornets held their annual draft party for the 2015 draft, and I&#8217;m disappointed to say that once again they failed the fanbase. For a team that has hovered in mediocrity Charlotte seems to make lateral draft picks year-after-year leaving the franchise stuck in the mud.  The fans are hanging in there like champs but enough is enough.</p>
<p>To put it as simple as possible: <strong>stop drafting these guys Jordan.</strong></p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dwylh_3Gg0w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Stop drafting guys without a discernible elite skill. Frank Kaminsky is a taller, more fluid version of guys you already had in Noah Vonleh/Cody Zeller. </p>
<p>Seriously, why are you drafting 7 footers who don&#8217;t protect the rim or rebound? Just look at how that sentence looks when written down. <em>A 7 foot player who doesn&#8217;t rebound or protect the rim.</em></p>
<p>*Sigh* And that is why they&#8217;ll always be the Bobcats.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Justise Winslow could have easily went top three in this draft. Unstoppable motor, great defender, and coming on as a scorer.</p>
<p>Yet the BOBCATS select Frank Kaminsky. Yes, I will never call them the Hornets again. The Hornets were competitive. This bastardized version isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>This is the guy that the Heat needed. If DWade decides he can&#8217;t live without his $20 million in Miami, they can fast track a rebuild around this kid. He isn&#8217;t Lebron but hey he&#8217;s better than Luol Deng. Lebron&#8217;s opting out but he isn&#8217;t returning to Miami. <em>Or is he&#8230;.</em> (I&#8217;m kidding.)</p>
<p>And with that the live draft blog will conclude. Excuse me as I smash my phone and sell all my Bobcats gear on ebay,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hornets need a shooter. No Kaminsky, no other crap. Just a guy who can put the ball in the basket. Devin Booker or RJ Hunter PLEASE.</p>
<p>Here we go&#8230;<br />
<em><br />
WHAT DO THE HORNETS NEED FRANK KAMINSKY FOR?!!! WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION WITH BIG GUYS THAT DON&#8217;T REBOUND?!!!!!!</em></p>
<p>First YOU FAIL WITH ZELLER (trying to trade him now)&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;then you FAIL WITH VONLEH (traded yesterday)&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8230;so you select another big man that can &#8220;score&#8221; but doesn&#8217;t do it in the post? Or rebound?!</p>
<p>And ESPN describes him as &#8220;not much of a defender or rebounded.&#8221; So we basically drafted a worse version of every stretch four in the league. </p>
<p>Winslow still on the board.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m done with this franchise.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stanley Johnson declined workouts with the Hornets and every other team after because he was sold that Detroit was taking him #8. And that just happened.</p>
<p>I actually watched a lot of Arizona and I thought they had a few guys that could play. Johnson obviously stands out because of his size and ability to score on the break.</p>
<p>His Moms sounds well educated on the game, <em>can we fire Steve Clifford and hire her?</em></p>
<p>Interesting fact is that we are at pick 8 WITH NO TRADES!</p>
<p><strong>Charlotte is next&#8230;.</strong></p>

<p><iframe width="630" height="393" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w2MZ2TJQ9lw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>People thought he could go anywhere from 1 to 5 in this draft, but the injury in China kept him away from the eyes of scouts. In my opinion that move backfired on the court&#8230; but <strong>he got paid a few million </strong>so hopefully his family is settled and he can focus on getting better.</p>

<p>I really wanted to see him fall to the Hornets, but they&#8217;re doing Hornets things and will probably take Kaminsky. </p>
<p>Stein is just as much an internet icon as he is a basketball player. Think about it like this. On the court, he&#8217;s Tyson Chandler. Off the court he&#8217;s A$AP Rocky.</p>
<p>Boogie and Trillie is MUST SEE TV.</p>

<p>Drafting Mario Hezonja is basically exactly what this team needed. The guy plays with a chip on his shoulder, can shoot lights out, and will yam it on a defender if you try to jump with him.</p>
<p>I think the Magic will be very happy with this pick in 3 or 4 years.</p>

<p>Yeah&#8230; this is not going to end well for someone. I look for Nerlens to force his way away from this experiment.</p>
<p>At a certain point the spreadsheet guys have to start fielding competitive teams that make sense, and not just hoard high draft picks.</p>
<p>THE SIXERS HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY ARE KEEPING OKAFOR!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>D&#8217;Angelo Russell did a great job selling himself during the draft process. Not only did he sell himself as a combo guard, but he sold himself as a box office type of guy. Russell worked the ESPN circuit and the cameras loved him.</p>
<p>Now whether or not he will turn into Steph Curry, we will have to see. Like Curry he lacks elite young <strong>Derrick Rose</strong> level explosion but he simply puts the ball in the basket. That&#8217;s what the Lakers need on and off the court.</p>
<p>Now someone tell me why did Russell rock a bright red suit? *Scratches head* I&#8217;m sure he picked it out the Versace Willy Wonka Collection.</p>

<p>Karl came to the draft in style. He sported a grey suit with some sort of herringbone pattern. Looks spiffy, but you got to have confidence to pull this off. </p>
