It won't be long now... HOOP TALK

It won't be long now! Soon we engage in some season long basketball talk.My observations and comments as I see the Hornets perform this year.

I like what I've seen so far.....lol.

But the interesting thing will be to see if Austin Rivers turns out to be a scrub or not.

How long did it take to tell that CP3 was going to be a star?

The season needs to come fast. This part of the off season is what I like to call "dry season" no news worth looking at at all. Cant wait for AD23!!!!

random question, but who else thinks people are overreacting to the saints 0-2 record? The defense looks horrific but our offenses put up 27 points. Get spags new system down and we've got ourselves another playoffs season

The Good Music album will help speed up the time, followed by Kendrick Lamar and PA4. So back to Kid Cudi-Creepers I go while time fly by.

Rivers is coming out as a freshman. Also, he is switching positions from SG to PG. He was drafted as a "project," whereas CP was already NBA-ready. You know that. Come man... Use that noggin.

Lol some people are already labeling Rivers a bust before he even gets the opportunity to prove his doubters wrong. It doesn't make any sense, especially considering that many of these people include Hornets "fans".

Rivers is a polarizing figure. Some people view his confidence as a bad thing, and it turns them off completely. I guess I can understand where they are coming from, but I couldn't disagree more.

I just wish people would give him a chance. I know that he probably won't set the world on fire this year, and I'm cool with it. He needs time to transition to a new position. It is what it is. I just know that most people won't give him that chance (people were already bashing him after Summer League).

What it boils down to is this: do you trust Monty and Dell? If you do, then shut up about the pick. If you don't, then I'd really like to know why because they have done a fantastic job since they got here.

On the Hornets Nest main page, where you can see all of the threads, towards the top left of the screen above the bolded words "Forum: Hornets Nest" there is a blue "button" that you click that says "+ Post New Thread." Click it, make a title for your thread, then underneath in the big box, write what you want to right.

P.S. Welcome to the board.

I listened to Ab Soul and have all of Gambino's Stuff, but because everytime a thread turns to music, you mention XV, I finally went and got his stuff (I only knew him from "Awesome") Was not disappointed, just wanted to say thanks

No problem. Check out his best two mixtapes Zero Heroes and Popular Culture!!!

With Gordon, Anderson, and Davis on the roster, the Rivers pick makes alot more sense now since he was the only guy on the board who could potentially start long-term. No other SFs available and Rivers was the best PG prospect at that point.

Exactly. I think, if Barnes fell to us, we'd take him over Rivers, simply because we need a SF more than a PG. Aminu can still develop into something, but we'll just have to wait and see on that. This will be a big year for him. Same with Henry. He can be a SF for us too. But Rivers at 10 was far and away the BPA with the most upside.
