Is it too early for a Hawkins eat crow thread?...

Or should we wait? Nah, why not, there are some gems in there...

We can't stay at 14 now AND take Hawkins. We have to take someone else or trade back.

Pels_Yaz

I seriously just want to go somewhere and cry. I thought I was speaking it into existence..

Balsamic_duck
This is why this team will forever suck

Balsamic_duck
Exactly so take the big swing with whitmore. Don't be a bitch and draft for need

RUFshreve
He'll be targeted and eaten alive on the defensive end in the playoffs. Griff just bunted with a lottery pick.

Townedrunkard
Griff is an idiot. Have to roll the dice when u picking 14. Bilas had him as #4 overall.

Balsamic_duck
We just drafted a 186lb shooter that can do absolutely nothing else on the basketball court. We should have traded that pick, i guarantee you we could have gotten someone better

Macintosh504
is this kid even gonna play under Willie? I’m only annoyed because you have a consensus top 5 guy in Whitmore and an all’s round guy in bufkin in your lap.

Balsamic_duck
I will bet anyone that Ben Sheppard who the pacers just took at 26 will be better than hawkins. Similar players but sheppard is superior at playing basketball and just went 26

Balsamic_duck
The pelicans have pretty clearly has a bottom 5 draft night. I honestly don’t know who you could argue had worse? We drafted safe at 14 and then were too pussy to make any moves in the late 1st/ early 2nd. Remember when griff said at the end of the year he was glad it ended the way it did because it showed we couldn’t be complacent. Then he just turns around, drafts safe at 14 and leaves hardly any room for improvement in the offseason. Yeah… big changes griff. You really shocked the world

Could've quoted much more, those were just some highlights from the draft thread, much less all the other threads at the time.

People were in love with Whitmore and Dick. Whitmore especially. They are averaging 2.6 and 3.6 ppg respectively and haven't made as many 3's combined as Hawkins did last night alone.
