The Hornets got a little lottery luck and landed the 2nd overall pick. They are on the clock with a HUGE decision to make. Two players seem to be coalescing around the pick, Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller. Is this a 1992 Shaq/Zo situation or a 2012 AD/MKG situation? We make opening arguments for taking Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller OR trading the pick for assets.

We needed the #1pick
I want scoot
It really stings being so close to #1, but I won’t complain. I fully expected us to get the #6 pick. We’re going Scootin’ baby!
We basically have the first pick. Because it’s the first pick that has options. The spurs have no choice in who they draft.
Scoot would make up for all the disappointment of this past season
Lol Brandon Miller is the pick. Scoot is to short and doesn’t fit but w/e Lamelo will be out of there soon anyway 😂
The Hornets should get Brandon Miller he's a better fit with Lamelo and Miller has extremely high potential also. Miller is the guy to get.
Brandon Miller isn't the only 6'8 SF in the draft so Scoot will be the pick. Charlotte has the #27, #34, #42 and I believe another late 2nd. Charlotte can take a swing at Emoni Bates and Bilal Coulibaly at SF.
We should get SCOOT👑🫡
I was at The Local, in uptown last night for the draft lottery. There was a quick moment of silence when we drew the 2nd pick. Only because we were so close to number 1! But everyone was very happy with the results !
I think I felt even more happy seeing Houston and Detroit fall in the draft. Haha ! We Scooted right passed them !
Want Miller, reminds me of Kevin Durant when Durant played at Texas.Also Paul George, SF with length is a dream need.
Trade #2 pick,Two 2nd rounders, Terry Rozier, James Bouknight, Gordon Hayward FOR #3 pick and Damien Lillard
Hear me out draft scoot forget DSJ have scoot and bouknight Start the season as back up guards with Kelly oubre and Gordon off bench with melo Terry ,miles, pj and mark starting and when scoot ready put him in for Terry then you have the most deadly 6th man in the league
I would not be mad if we trade it down to three if we got something worthwhile in return, potentially a future first or something because then we don’t have to rely on Mitch to make the decision that’s what the Celtics did with Jayson Tatum, they traded down from one with Philly, and clearly they had Philly’s number ever since
SF OPTIONS:
-Emoni Bates
-Balil Coulibaly
-Rayan Rupert
-Bobi Klintman
Charlotte can literally draft 2 of these guys
Scoot going to the Hornets
It’s scoot no debate no way hornets mess this up but then again it’s the hornets it would help us move off of terry rozier as well
If the catchphrase "has that dog in him" was around in 2012, this would have been used in arguments for drafting MKG. The intangibles were why Charlotte selected MKG over Bradley Beal. These buzzwords are becoming red flags when I hear them. Give me the guy that can shoot.
Scoot is the only freaking choice here. If the Hornets screw this up I’m going to lose my 💩 😅😢
Before the troll babies come after me. I'm taking Henderson because of his intangibles. Both Miller and Henderson are off the charts but for me I keep going back to the crazy shooting at Alabama and Miller involvement with that and his decision making.
"This ain't Korea or china or where ever you come from but you get some Miller high life in this funky joint!!!"

Oh my god Mitch is going to do it… he said “we can draft for fit more than talent” he’s going to do it he’s gunna draft Brandon over Scoot💀💀💀
Glad we won’t take Victoria
Hornets fans, can you please explain to me why yall are advocating on drafting Scoot Henderson…
LaMelo’s injury history has to be weighed
