The Charlotte Hornets Believe Tidjane Salaun is a Steal | The Drive with Josh Graham

the Charlotte Hornets truthfully believe that they’ found a gym at number six and French forward to Jean Salon you could choose to disagree with that and many are but you should know the decision makers in that building believe they’ve landed the steel of this draft and their pre-draft Behavior points to this this explains why Jeff Peterson was so secretive why he didn’t want any information getting out about his approach when asked about pre-draft about draft things during Charles Lee’s press conference a couple of days ago why unlike past years under past regimes the Hornets didn’t release any information about who was working out who was visiting pre-draft nobody connected Salon to Charlotte until about three hours before the draft when you had a Yahoo sports report that said Charlotte is very interested in the youngest player in this draft after the pick here was Jeff Peterson sold on their guy and saying that their guy was toan Salon all along can’t tell you guys how excited I am that we got tan he’s uh he’s the guy who we had organizational alignment and conviction in uh from the very beginning and you guys heard what uh what Charles was saying yesterday we want guys who give it an effort night in night out guys who compete um he’s the youngest player in the draft a ton of upside Great Frame uh I was fortunate I got to go to Europe a couple times this season to see him and spend some time with him he’s an amazing amazing human being and I know he’s going to uh you know do everything in his control to maximize himself this shouldn’t be a shock Charles Lee when he was introduced a couple of days ago when Charles Lee was initially the pick Celtics assistant what are the strengths that Charles Lee had this is going to be a developmental staff development is the strength of this staff this was Charles Lee’s calling card so you of so of course they’re not deterred by a guy who’s 18 years old the youngest player drafted last night of course they’re not worried about that they sought it out sought out perhaps the rawest prospect that’s out there this is a description I got from a scout close to the Hornets about Salon last night all caps love them got to be patient you hired a big time development staff with Charles love the pick positional size shows glimpses of being able to do everything plays hard as F just my personal opinion it seems the Hornets agree with that as well development is the calling card of Charles Lee’s staff give him something that he can mold give him some clay that he can mold and at 6’9 6′ 10 and some shooting ability and athleticism Sean Salan certainly has a lot of those physical tools and that’s enough reason to give Charlotte the benefit of the doubt here we can’t or you shouldn’t hire a new coach and GM and say this is the top GM on the market this is the top GM you could hire and then the first draft pick he makes says nah he doesn’t know what he’s doing no well this is why you hire this guy Let’s see we have no reason to believe he doesn’t know what he’s doing yet and we do have a lot of people myself included being wrong just last year about a hornet selection when many wanted scoot Henderson and instead they took Brandon Miller which brings us to hornet superfan Ethan gandora shout out to Ethan gandora here who last year had this to say hours maybe within the hour after Charlotte drafted Brandon Miller rather than scoot Henderson Michael Jordan you’ve owned the Hornets the Bobcat since I’ve been a fan man and every time I think you’re about to do something like bad you do something worse Hornets fans have been through it all since day one we have drafted more busts than any franchise we’ve had to put up with so much stuff it has affected my mental to be a fan of this team and the moment I think okay this is it this is our breakthrough you know we draft Brandon Miller so I’m rooting for the guy I guess it was the wrong pick I’m rooting for the guy gandar not gandora my apologies yes we up and drafted Brandon Miller what a catastrophy shout out to WBTV that did that interview a year ago and smart enough to track this guy down again last night after the Hornets took Tan Salon I’m sure this guy learned his lesson right I thought I was numb to this man bro we got the three pieces we got Brandon Miller we got Mark we got Melo Connect 4 was about to happen who the is TJ BJ man how would you say your mental is right now man man I work at the bank I thought my mental was low but no this is something different this is something different I hope this guy is good and we can print the shirts who is TJ BJ man I just want that on a t-shirt who is TJ BJ man he should if I’m to John salant I get that t-shirt made and wear it to my debut that’s that’s what I wear a t-shirt that says this who is TJ BJ man that’s if he’s any good that’s our new Charlotte Hornet’s drop as far as I’m concerned who the is TJ BJ man I am TJ BJ man it’s great I don’t know why I made him Russian when he’s from France but yeah he he didn’t really learn his lesson from last year and let’s hope that many people are wrong again their initial reactions are wrong when it comes to the latest Hornet’s pick

Josh explains why the Charlotte Hornets were so quiet leading up to the NBA Draft and why they believe they have a steal in Tidjane Salaun.
