    If anyone wants to listen to some draft talk, Mike Schmitz was a guest on this show and gave his opinion on the prospects in our range. Interesting stuff said about Skal, Davis, & Baldwin. For anyone that doesn't know, he's the guy that does all of the draftexpress strengths/weaknesses videos & last year, i believe he said he would've taken Mario #2/3 and he was his favorite prospect.

    Only real problem I got with Barnes is the contract he's going to get this offseason, he's only 23 the verdict isn't out on him yet, his numbers will look better in an extended role and I think he's a better defender then people are giving him credit for, I personally think that would be a good look for NO especially if they drafted Hield who's probably more NBA ready than anyone coming out right now, until the contract becomes a major issue signing other free agents which I don't see happening in NO I would blank it out and just focus on the player and the fit around AD, or they can stick with Quincy Poindexter and Alonzo Gee at the 3

    Was just watching Hield's and Jaylen Brown's draftexpress videos, if Hield don't end up in Boston I hope it's NO where he can be a number 2 option right out the gate, that's a yearly game I'll be at whenever he comes to Boston, heard he's working out with Kobe

    Jamal Murray hit 79 of 100 3’s in Boston last week. Buddy Hield, per source, hit 85 of 100 in front of Celtics brass today in California.

    I'd rather just draft Jaylen Brown and pay Eric Gordon to comeback than vastly overpay just for that underachieving ? to join our squad

    I see the Pelicans Report fanatic wanna wack me for my stance on Jaylen Brown and Harrison Barnes but can't explain why being scoreless off 8 wide open field goal attempts in the NBA Finals is worth ANYWHERE close to $20 ? million dollars a year over a 19 year old who probably can become a DeMar DeRozan type of player in the NBA with time

    I didn't wack you for Harrison Barnes. Dude is straight garbage. I wacked you because Jaylen Brown is a player that needs to go to the right organization to become a good NBA player. That's not new Orleans. This coming from someone who watched alot of his games and kept up with dude. Dude is VERY raw. He has a broken jumper, no post game, can't play defense, is turnover prone, and is not good around the basket. Only thing he got going for him is athleticism and potential . Dude is JuJu Wright IMO.

    The Pelicans have not improved they developed players yet. The only thing they have done is fix guys 3 point jumper, but outside of that I can't think of anything elese. I just believe the wait for Brown to become a "decent " player is not worth it with AD timeline.

    Dunn
    Murray
    Heild

    Is all I want. All three I think can contribute immediately and take pressure of AD and Jrue. Dunn and Murray both still have potential to grow. Nor sure about Buddy.

    I think he blew that 20 million dollar a year contract after the last two games, he was having a good enough series before that to have teams make a desperation move and actually give him a max, Ainge just recently met with Jeff Shwartz which is Barnes and Love's agent smdh

    DeMar DeRozan, as well as Kawhi Leonard were already complete all-around players coming in to the NBA when they was drafted :/

    Will according to Chad Ford Jaylen Brown killed it in a workout for the Pelicans. Since the Pels are tight lipped, I think they told the media this to engage a trade with Boston. Boston likes Jaylen and wants two top 8 picks. So we shall see. I'm just hoping we draft one of the three guards and I'm Gucci.

    He has the potential to be a two way player, after Ben Simmons, he's the most athletic in the draft and has an NBA ready physique.
