Noel doesn't make much sense to me for the Hornets. He plays the position where the team is already the strongest, and his weaknesses are the same as Davis (i.e. at this point a bit too thin to shift to center). Plus of course he is coming off a big injury and isn't much of an offensive player.

The draft is pretty weak and none of the guys look like sure things, but McLemore looks the closest and if the Hornets get the #1 pick they should take himi. After him there are about five to eight guys who all have lots of positives and negatives. IMO whenever the Hornets pick should choose from whichever of those is left and best fits the needs of the team.

I just started playing around with Chad Ford's lottery machine in class and he has us taking Smart with the first pick. Would we take him over McLemore?

Actually, he doesn't have us taking McLemore at all. It looks like he thinks we go Smart, then Porter based on availability

Serious question:

Isn't Noel considered more of a true defensive center with limited offensive game where Davis is more of a C/PF with a good handle and shot?

Wouldn't an NBA comparison be Noel would be more of a Dwight Howard and Davis would be more of a Tim Duncan?
