Summer League Starts Soon In Orlando -- July 6th

Draft Reports: New Orleans

In Draft on July 2, 2008 at 12:15 am

No Picks

The Hornets sold their #27 pick to the Blazers. They ended up selecting Darrell Arthur for Portland. Arthur who is better than most of the available big men in free agency this summer and could fill the Hornets biggest void (backup big men) better than those players.

It’s never wise to sell picks. It always forces you to look into more costly ways (Phoenix – Banks $24mil instead of keeping Rondo) of addressing the issue and it takes away young talent from your team.

Arthur would have been a great selection for the Hornets

Conclusion: Terrible draft for the Hornets
