I wish we had the #2 pick

First off I am very excited that the we got he #1 pick. It brings a great deal of notoriety to the team and it will help to invigorate the fan base. Tickets, sponsorships and spirit should be at an all time high especially after the rebranding.
With that being said our biggest hole in our team last year was low post scoring and scoring at the SF. I would much rather have Robinson and Barnes then Davis. Since Davis is the obvious can't miss media driven first round pick there is no way we can't pick him. Yes I know most scouts think this as well. I still don't think the Hornets at this point need another defensive minded big especially if we keep Okafor. Robinson would be a tremendous offensive player from Day 1 which is what the team needs. The #2 pick would have made us a lot better right away but I do get that Davis has all the upside.
I am just stating my opinion which is that of a fan that wants nothing more then to have a successful basketball team in my backyard.
I'm growing a unibrow as we speak BTW.

I see what you're saying about Davis, but Barnes and Robinson aren't worth it. If it was a deeper draft year, perhaps. I really am not impressed by this years draft class.

This ain't about filling holes from last year's team.

Davis is the next Tim Duncan, bro.
We want him.

I think you are trolling but if you're not.. you don't ever pass on a sure fire franchise center in the draft. He's the type of player you build around and win lots of championships with, like Tim Duncan. Robinson and Barnes are no gurantees and could both end up being very average players.

I'm sure the Bobcats would happily exchange picks with us in exchange for a few handies.
Still, Davis right off the bat >>> TRob, and that's 100% excluding the ceiling he has.

went to the Friday practices they had in the dome and watched all of UK's Davis was banging 3's and long ones at that the whole warm-up time. Kids got more offense than you think, it was just that UK being so loaded that he wasnt asked to do that there, and yes I know he didnt shoot well in the championship. Kids gonna be a stud
