I’m a wizards fan from the UK, it’s painful, but it’s nice to hear you guys talk about them hahaha
What do you think the Hawks could have got for the #1 pick? Seems like in a down year they had no leverage to get an impactful player, especially with Sarr publicly refusing to play for them.
Im 100% on board with Banchero and the Magic.
I gotta say, it can't be ignored that the Hornets have actually filled their rotation with real basketball players in the last several months… for most of last season guys like theo maledon, jt thor, bryce mcgowens, nathan mensah, and leaky!!! black, were getting real minutes and they are now replaced with tre mann, grant williams, josh green, vasa micic, and seth curry. Not game changing but the baseline level of basketball should be a bit higher + better health and bmill 2nd year leap… but its actually impossible to be optimistic as a Hornets fan.
Knee injuries hurt Hunter. Hawks don't have their picks so they can't trade Trae. I think getting rid of Saddiq bey and more size on the wing will help them. Daniels ZR and Jalen have really solid defensive potential on the wing
