Man,.....

Still on time delay, but the east is on notice with the pick the hornets just pretty much stole.

As they got the actual best game player in this draft and arguably a prospect to be a future top five sg potentially.

This is excellent after that Howard trade.

The hornets look to be trying to kick somebody's ass.
This makes them on paper in that raptors to celt's playoff level team on paper, as a real thing now potentially.

Oh sheit,... Those wolves vs hornets and bucks vs hornets games seem like a move now.

If Bam turns into peak Serge Ibaka then Miami has a major piece. Putting him next to Whiteside allows him to roam and be a weakside defender and pick and roll lob finisher because whiteside requires a double team in the post most nights. if he can hit 18 footer and develops a 3 pointer he can be very dangerous.


Let these nikkas sleep. Dude is gonna be major for us :ahh:

he is not an equal shooter and just as bad if not worse defender, plus doesn't have the same height.

I watch every Duke game breh, i don't need to watch the tape. I know he's an athlete and actually matched Winslow in vertical. Still this draft is deep and I dn't think he would be a 1st rounder...my opinion.

I've watched every duke game multiple times for the last too many years. he is an equal shooter when healthy (he had a bad hip, shoulder, foot/toe, ankle, and dislocated L finger throughout the year). by the end of the year, he was actually shooting better than kennard. his sophomore year percentages are comparable, and the eye test shows he is an equal shooter. yes the draft is deep but a player like him who can shoot and match that athletically would have a chance to move up taking into consideration how good he looked as a healthy sophomore. He easily could've gone first round. and in terms of size, he's 6'4.5" and kennard 6'5.5", but kennard has a 6'5" wingspan compared to allen's 6'7". not to mention weight, strength, athleticism advantage. comparing their sizes is a moot point. and you clearly didn't watch duke games enough if you think he's anywhere clsoe to as bad a defender as kennard is. he was better even when he was basically plauing on 1 leg for a quarter to a third of the season.
