    Chris Paul's penetration should provide this new shooting guard with some open looks from mid range to three.

    Hornets select - Nick Young

    Hornets loved Thaddeus Young's workout and need a 3 once Desmond leaves.

    I really hope he falls to 15 as I beleive he will be a good player in the future!

    -1 for using pink.

    Don't they have Peja to use at the SF slot?

    I agree with Eray. They need a good SG to pair with Paul. Peja is a SF and they have to hope he can stay healthy.

    Hornets select - Nick Young
    Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
    Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

    SG looks like the obvious choice here IMO, would they take Stuckey?

    Thornton gets more tempting as he drops, but as others have mentioned, they already have big money tied up in Peja, and Rasual Butler can play some SF too.

    Of course, Thornton can play PF too.

    Stuckey's more of a to-the-rack kind of player from what I've seen. Nick Young would work better off of Paul's drive and dish abilities. Therefore, I think they'd take Young.

    Also, about Thornton: I just don't think teams are looking to use this high of a pick on a tweener style of player.

    I was just thinking that if replacing Des Mason was the goal, that Stuckey seems like a similar player.
