Could the Hornets Select Glenn Robinson III if we lose Eric Gordon?

[heybigmatt]

Whats wrong with this pick? Could play SF and SG.

[ItsPaulyP]

Robinson isnt a SG :/

[RaisingTheBar]

If we took him over players like Burke oladipo porter id be pretty upset.

[BallSoHard]

Robinson was lackluster in the first half last night, but he impressed me later in the game. That being said, I really dislike inconsistent players, and by inconsistent I don't mean by how much he scores, I mean how he plays the game. Don't shoot 1 shot in the first half and 9 in the second. I'm not sure if how he played last night was par for the course and would love to be educated more on him. But if it is, pass.

[HornetGuru]

he is a pure SF, he doesnt have the handles or creation ability to play the SG but i like him for SF regardless of what we do with gordon, but id much rather otto porter

I watched him a bit when I was watching Burke, and his inconsistency does seem to be a problem. He disappears, and then he makes a wow play. He puts up solid stats because he is very talented and has superior athleticism. I like his shot, and he is relatively aware defensively. However, I question his aggression, and it worries me moving forward. It could just be because he is a freshman, or maybe I have to watch more of him, but from what I've seen, he isn't as aggressive as I'd like him to be. That said, Aminu wasn't aggressive coming here, and now Monty got him to rebound like a mad man. I do love Robinson's potential though.

Don't see why not.

[nolaslim213]

He's listed as 6'6, but he definitely grew and inch or so, just watching him on the court. His advanced metrics are really nice. Great Offensive Rating, good Defensive Rating, Low TO%, high TS%.

He certainly has potential, but I think he can be had outside of the top-10 for sure.

[Silverfoxx]

He should be in the 20th draft range

Weak handles and poor jump shot right now. Also can't create on offense. Most of his points are coming in transition, cutting to the basket, and hustle. Amazing potential but needs another year or two to grow and develop.

I can agree with this, except I think he has great form on his jumper. He just needs more reps, but I think he'll be a good shooter when it's all said and done.

[AD23nEG10]

they could take him and keep gordon if he has a good workout. he's the best SF fit once porters gone if we're that adamant about filling that slot

[NOLa.]

GR3 Should definitely be capable to play the 2 spot, especially his first couple of years in the league if he decides to come out.

[smcgull]

I use to see him going in the 20s, then I started seeing him in the teens. I guess the better Michigan did in the tournament,the farther up in the draft he went.

I wouldn't say his handles are weak actually. I get the distinct impression that he's either timid or being asked to hold back. He's capable of way more than he's doing.

Don't know what makes me say that. Just the sense I get.

[Kibner]

Whether Gordon leaves or not doesn't affect who we will pick in the draft. BPA.

this.

I think he is the most intriguing prospect. He's a better athlete than Otto porter, he has better footwork and he is a better ball handler.

Hm... You might be confusing your prospects. While Robinson has the bigger ceiling, his handles and footwork isn't at the level of Porter right now.

His handles are clearly weak. He looked horrific when trying to navigate the pressure packages Louisville employed on Monday.

[new city champ]

GRIII is an intriguing prospect, but he's not NBA ready based on what I saw this year. Not to say his game won't grow, but he's not someone you could stick in the starting l line-up right now. He's a guy I think would benefit from another year in college. If he does come out, I'd think he'd be late teens or twenties pick, who might sneak into the late lottery with impressive workouts. Great pick if you want to give him a few years to develop.

[Purple Haze]

GRIII is one of those guys who is going to go back to school and add even MORE talent to next year's draft. It's gonna be a great one.

[Silverfoxx]

GRIII= JuJu 2.0.


DO NOT WANT.

[HornetGuru]

I really see a ton of paul george in GR3, he needs to go back for his sophmore year like george did, he can shoot, slash, defend, and rebound.
