yeah newman wasnt awesome or anything, but he a decent all around player that could score efficiently

we picked Gill #5, his numbers dont look too bad but he wasnt a good teammate and we basically were forced to move him to Seattle... management hated the guy... they even got fooled into trading back for him and it didnt work out the 2nd time either...

jr reid was a huge bust he went #5 as well....

Zidek was miserable, he was drafted in the late teens though i believe... i actually witnessed him lose us a game on a lane violation one time... i mean my god.

6/28/2006 11:11:17 PM

damn, didn't expect Noel to be drafted.

6/28/2006 11:12:02 PM

it'd be sweet if the bobcats took bennerman

6/28/2006 11:21:29 PM

not gonna happen

6/28/2006 11:29:04 PM

not now, since they've already picked and it wasnt bennerman

6/28/2006 11:29:56 PM

exactly

6/28/2006 11:32:09 PM

Poor Bennerman, keep your head up young buck


Kill the workouts

6/29/2006 1:04:11 AM

last season, the Hornets player who averaged the least minutes got 7.2mins/game (i'd guess cause they got blown out a lot). So atleast we'll get to see Ced, unlike Hodge


and here's their depth chart: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/depth?team=nor

6/29/2006 9:16:29 AM

I really like the Morrison pick...

and JJ actually got a pretty good deal going to Orlando

6/29/2006 9:18:38 AM

how did we let either Guillermo Diaz, Taquan Dean or Kevin Pittsnoggle pass us up at the 50th pick for that UCLA tard?

6/29/2006 9:22:20 AM

^thats what I dont understand

cant believe those guys slipped out like that

6/29/2006 9:29:11 AM

Damn I just now realized nobody picked this cat up.

He would make a good NBA player.

6/29/2006 9:54:56 AM

Adam Morrison?

Way to Wiz on the Bobcats, MJ. He can be the next Jason Kapono!

6/29/2006 9:55:25 AM

first off he's better than Kapono already

second off dont fault Jordan for drafting Kwame Brown...any team with the #1 pick wouldve taken him

fault Jordan for trading Rip Hamilton so he could open up a roster spot for himself

6/29/2006 9:59:29 AM

MJ is not 100% to fault for that Kwame pick

its not like he would have helped the Wiz that much if he was as good as they thought

people act like he would have put them in the NBA finals in a couple of years

I havent seen LeBron do that yet, and he had a hell of a lot more hype around him and known talent than Kwame

I hate this kid. Are they saying he is marketable just cause he is white? Since when is being a goofey white kid that hits themselves in the head and cries during the game marketable?

6/29/2006 11:32:20 AM

^ Michael Jordan said they drafted him because he cried during a basketball game.

6/29/2006 11:48:07 AM

tis all bout putting your heart into everything and intensity

if you dont cry about somethin, safe to say you never really cared

6/29/2006 12:24:51 PM

who is a more marketable than morrison that was drafted?

i mean maybe marcus williams can get a deal with dell or somethin

Everyone. Morrison is a loser. Who wants to buy a Morrison shoe? I would rather buy a Smush Parker shoe than a Morrison shoe. In my opinion Rudy Gay, Ty Thomas, Rodney Carney, and even second rounders like Dee Brown are more marketable than him. Morrison might be good at basketball, but I just don't see him selling anything because he is such a fag.

Haha funniest thing Ive read on here in weeks.

I am NOT happy with Morrison. Maybe Ill be wrong, but Roy or Gay could score more easily than AM.

6/29/2006 2:29:22 PM

then why didnt they?

6/29/2006 2:31:21 PM

Maybe because Gay was playing Syracuse, Seton Hall, Cincy, Louisville, Georgetown, etc. and Morrison was playing Pepperdine and San Francisco.

Gay had 3 other teammates picked in the 1st round. He can't do all the scoring.

Jordan gets a bad rap for this trade, but I'd trade Rip Hamilton for Jerry Stackhouse straight up any day.

Hamilton is one of the most overrated players in the league, he has no three point range and he sucks on defense. He can score, but he can't take over a game the way Stack can...


Also Kwame Brown was a really bad pick... but if he had picked Curry, Chandler, or Battier instead everyone would just talk about what a horrible pick that was... I dont remember any draft experts saying that Pau Gasol should have been the #1 pick that year prior to the draft...

6/29/2006 3:32:23 PM

i wouldnt trade hamilton for stackhouse any day

hamilton is one of the best shooters in the league from inside the arc

6/29/2006 3:43:29 PM

First off, as Bilas said, Morrison couldn't guard a bank with a machine gun. Second, what makes anyone think Morrison is a sure scorer in the NBA? I could see his quickness, moves and shot being successful if he was a few inches taller, ala Dirk Nowitzki. However, he is sub-6'8. Guys that size in the NBA need to be explosive athletes, even if they are great shooters (I would rate Morrison as a very good shooter). On top of this, the NBA has a long season, and I could see Morrison as a serious health liability. Morrison will probably be a contributor on offense, but I don't see him having the firepower some claim based on his college production. No defense + questionable offensive productivity at the next level + health issues = A bad pick at #3, even in this draft.

I want to pull for the Bobcats. I really do. But if it's not Bob Johnson's crappy business and PR moves, it is the draft (Okafor excepted) making me shake my head that stifles my interest in pulling for them.

6/29/2006 3:44:39 PM

It's not a wash out by any means, but Stackhouse can do a lot more than Rip...

Stack was one of the most talented players in the NBA at the time of the trade and Rip had yet to establish himself...

Stack was clutch as hell in the playoffs, he definitely should have been the one taking the big shots down the stretch instead of Terry & Dirk.

Noel hasn't even made the team yet... and no fucking way he would start over Bobby Simmons if he makes the roster. Mo williams would be well ahead of him on the depth chart too.

As Steven A. Smith. the Bobcat's head guy doesn't care about winning. It's all about the money.

6/29/2006 3:57:48 PM

I'm not a big fan of Stephen A. Smith, but I enjoyed watching him call out Bob Johnson.

maybe if he was talking about Stackhouse in 1996 and not 2006
