JuJu was another stupid pick along the likes of Cedric Simmons and Hilton Armstrong. Julian can play good D because of his size and length.

But watching him in the half court reminds me of the hot redskins cheerleader that could only walk backwards after she got the Swine Flu shot.

Trade him if we can. He does not need to play. New scenery will help his cause as much as it did for Simmons and Armstrong.

Maybe you're missing when he plays. I understand the half court problems, but he plays great defense and he does rebound really well. Mo Pete brings NOTHING to the table. Might as well just let assistant coach Robert Pack suit up and play...

all I hear from you guys is how Armstrong and Wright sucks, they are lost, well if Scott and co. had developed them properly in stead of playin them sporadically throughout their careers, those 2 might be quality role players by now instead of the same unsure, low self esteem guys they have become.

San Antoine knows how to develop young players, so do a lot of other teams, they play them from day 1, they don't say assinine shite like Scott has said that they are not ready yet, well how in the frick are they supposed to get ready coach? idiot, he should hire Nagin on his next staff!

Juju reminds me of a shorter, less savvy, lower bball IQ version of Marcus Camby. Freakishly athletic; can dazzle at times by leaping out of the gym, but very limited basketball skill.

Hilton was never good in college. EVER. I know he got the Big East DPOY, still doesn't count for poop to me.

Julian Wright played two years at KU and to me was just a kay cog to an already loaded team. Everyone looks good on those teams.

To me they never had a chance to begin with, although I give a slight nod to Wright as far as ability.

Play JuJu because he's better than MoPete. Not exactly a ringing endorsement there. If the roster weren't so full of holes you wouldn't even be asking this question.

I'm not so sure it's "full of holes", well if CP were healthy. With a healthy CP, the only significant hole is somone who can adequately play a combo 2/3 position. And it doesn't even have to be top quality.

So one extra player would really put the hornets in the position of having some minor holes, which when you think about it, which NBA team doesn't have any minor holes?

CP, MT, DC, DWest, Okafor, Peja, Posey, Songalia, Marks, JuJu isn't really a bad rotation of players. Just need one more guy who can give you good minutes at the 2 or 3 spot. And of course, if CP is playing, then you don't even have the MoPete vs JuJu argument. MoPete never plays and JuJu does exactly what he does now coming off the bench.

The problem with that rotation besides being small and not very physical, is that it has lots of duplication. Not everyone on the roster is a bad player, but for instance, center by committee with power forwards is a roster hole IMO. You'll have to see several roster changes before the Hornets can move much beyond being a 6-8 seed playoff also ran.
