Hornets would love Andre Drummond at #10. If he's gone, they'll look at Austin Rivers, Tyler Zeller and Meyers Leonard:
Assuming Rivers is gone...if they REALLY like Drummond that much, i'd bet on them taking Meyers Leonard.

Leonard is basically the white Andre Drummond with a lot of the same strengths and concerns.

As much as Drummond gets hammered for only putting up 10/8,Leonard put up 14/8 as a sophomore. I'd assume Drummond's scoring could've gotten to 14ppg as a soph.

All the NBA writer's twitter accounts

I think most people assume they'll be gone by 10

Nah. Leonard and Drummond are pretty dissimilar.

Leonard has a decent post game and he's questionable defensively, I wouldn't call them similar other than both are pretty raw.

Thats what i meant. The risks/rewards with both. Both have huge potential, both could be huge busts.

They're both huge with great length and athleticism. You hesitate to pass on guys like them because they don't come around often.

Most 7 footers are either rail thin and clumsy or if they have NBA bodies, they can barely move around the court.

The top of New Orleans' wish list at No. 10 leads with Duke guard Austin Rivers, league sources tell Y!

Anything on trading JJ. If we do pick Rivers or Lillard I would love to get a Terrence Ross or something for him.

DraftExpress: From what I'm hearing New Orleans seems to be leaning towards taking a big man at 10 if Rivers is off the board. One of Zeller or Leonard...

DraftExpress: Portland is putting out serious signs that they might take Waiters over Lillard. Could be smoke but teams taking it serious. Rivers goes 7?

Seems fair on both ends. But Charlotte's risking Washington taking Robinson
