Halftime right now of this matchup. Two guys that are potential future Hornets.

Jones has 10 points at the half

Robinson has 12 and 5.

I gotta say, these past couple of weeks, I have really jumped on the TRob bandwagon. Whoever started it first, kudos to you. Love his talent.

Quincy Miller of Baylor is also a projected first round pick.

TRob just shows a little touch with an elbow jumper.

I like Robinson much better. I've yet to see what's so great about Jones.

If we get Robinson, can he get #21 so I can get a split Saints/Hornets jersey?

I think Dickie V just summed it up perfectly. Paraphrasing, love his talent he just needs to take his intensity to the next level.

I dont think he has an NBA position right now either. Not skilled enough to play SF, not strong enough to play PF

Is it just me or does it seem that they're a lot of tweeners in this upcoming draft.

There's a group of 6 guys that i think the Hornets HAVE to get at least one of:

Drummond
Davis
Lamb
Barnes
Robinson
Sullinger

Maybe Kidd-Gilchrist and Jones if they find a position

I have watched davis play at least 5 or 6 times this year on tv and he never is very impressive to me. He needs to add some pounds on before he gets to the NBA.

I think the top 5 or so have defined positions.

After that guys like Jones, Kidd-Gilchrist, Rivers, Beal are tweeners

He rebounds and blocks shots like a maniac

I think MKG has a true position as a SF. He's not the greatest perimeter shooter, but I believe he can continue to improve in that area.

75 percent he shoots from the line, 34 from 3.

Robinson now with the 18 footer. If this kid is able to extend his range and can knock down that shot with his quickness and ability to get to the goal, he's going to be one hell of a pro.

I understand that he rebounds and blocks shots. I just feel like we need a legit scoring option down low. Jared Sullinger,IMO, can score a little better.

Monroe averaged 16, 10 and 4 assists as a sophomore in the toughest conference in America. I really don't think too many people were doubting his intensity. However, I am still laughing at the Warriors for passing on a guy that was an incredible fit for their team in favor of Ekpe Udoh.
