The New Orleans Hornets have the 13th pick in the NBA Draft... which player should they take?

Thaddeus Young will be picked here. Young is a bright prospect who can backup stojakovic when he is healthy. Stojakovic was jurt much of last year so they need someone who can fill his void and step in to provide offense and excellent ball handling. He's a versatile forward who can score inside and also can step back and hit the triple. A reliable free-throw shooter as well. He is a flexible defensively as well, as he can guard both inside and outside scorers with the same efficiency. He will probably not start right away but he can grow from being on the bench and compete for some major minutes. heres what the lineup would look like

PG-Chris Paul

SG-Desmond Mason (if he stays)

SF-Peja Stojakovic

PF-David West

C-Tyson Chandler

Key bench-ThaddeusYoung, Bobby Jackson, Rasual Butler, Hilton Armstrong

Thaddues Young is a no-brainer. The 6-8 freshman small forward gives some youth in the team and is often compared to Paul Pierce. He is extremely explosive and would fit great with Chris Paul in up tempo fast breaks. He is left handed and is very difficult to guard because of that. He has improved significantly on his shot off the dribble and has improved on his outside shooting. He is a terrific defender thanks to his foot speed and length. He is determined and a hard worker, and his behavior is good. Great in the class room and has an incredible potential, but he still needs to gain confidence in his abilities and body strength. The bad thing is that his shooting from long range isn't great but everyday he is showing improvment. He really needs to put some weight on, maybe 20 pounds of muscle so he can drive and finish through traffic, right now he gets pushed around alot.

Line up?? C- Tyson Chandler

PF-Free agency?

SF-Thaddeus Young

SG- Peja Stojakovic

PG- Chris Paul

It adds depth and another superstar to this injury troubled team.

The Hornets will pick Thaddeus Young

The hornets need a wing scorer...someone who can play sg/sf. The Desmond Mason/Peja Stojakavic experiment has failed miserably so to fix that wing problem they need to pick up Young.

Dude can light it up and can finish at the rim and draw fouls. He would be the pefect running mate for Chris Paul.

He is not a bad defender either and Byron Scott will absolutely love this guy.

Young....Thaddeus Young

Nick Young is a possibility, but Thad's got more size and potential. He reminds me of a slightly shorter Chris Bosh. This pick would give the Hornets another scoring option to go with West. Stojakovic never really panned out at SF, so maybe this pick will let him move to SG so he can just shoot...since he obviously can't get his own shot.

I think Nick will be a really good player too, but they need to figure out how to maximize Peja's contributions. So they take Thad who can shoot, get to the basket, and rebound with his size and athleticism. Thad!

Joakim Noah will slip and the Hornets will make a bad choice when they pick Noah, he showed us he can't shoot the ball very well and being energetic on the court will not bring home rings, he wont be productive maybe 10 pts 10 rbds kind of a guy, just like P.J. Brown but anything to get excited about.

If Jeff Green is still available, he would be the best pick. But from your list of players, I would take Thaddeus Young. He is very young and has a ton of upside. But please, whatever the Hornets do, do not take Josh McRoberts! He will not amount to anything in the pros, and this is coming from an avid Duke fan. He can pass, but not get his own shot.

Jason smith by a mile! i think he has been totally overlooked! he is 7-0 ft. and averages

16.8 pts, 10.1 rebounds, 77 ft. % and 57.5 field goal percentage. he would have chris paul passing to someone other than desmond mason. the hornets need a solid rebounder and scorer, and jason smith totaly fits the package. he should be higher up, b/c the mock draft lists him as 17th!!!!!!

from the list, i think its a toss up between nick and thaddeus young. but seeing how thaddeus young has far more potential than nick, the hornets will take thad @13

If they couldn't keep the Jazz how did they get the Hornets?
