It’s not Charlotte!!!!!!! It’s not Charlotte!!!!!!!!!! It’s not Charlotte!!!!!
The New Orleans Hornets pulled off the upset in the NBA Draft Lottery, moving up from the third spot to win the rights to Anthony Davis. Charlotte will pick second, followed by John Wall and the Washington Wizards at No. 3. Let’s hope MKG slips a spot to the Wiz.
Here is the draft order:
1.) New Orleans Hornets
2.) Charlotte Bobcats
3.) Washington Wizards
4.) Cleveland Cavaliers
5.) Sacramento Kings
6.) Portland Trailblazers
7.) Golden State Warriors
8.) Toronto Raptors
9.) Detroit Pistons
10.) New Orleans Hornets
11.) Portland Trailblazers
12.) Milwaukee Bucks
13.) Phoenix Suns
14.) Houston Rockets
It was an omen…

I wish it would have been Washington….but I am SO GLAD that it is not Charlotte. Hopefully we can get MKG to the Wizards.

just going to leave that there…

I don’t think MKG is a good fit at Washington. Damn! This is a quandary. I hate to think of him falling in the draft but I want him with the right team.
May 30th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Already wearing a hornets hat!!!!
May 30th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Screw the Hornets’ organization AND New Orleans! Steal our team and then steal our draft pick… The ONE team I ABSO-F’IN-LUTELY despise! Well it was nice cheering for AD when I he was at UK…
May 30th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
At least they’re not using bent envelopes to rig it anymore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX1kMlG8c7Y
May 30th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
3. I agree I sorta hope he falls to 5
May 30th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
I knew it wasn’t a sure thing, but still, I’m a little bitter… lol
May 30th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Terrence Jones will go to Portland at #11
May 30th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
I hope Detroit picks up Jones. Would be awesome to see Knight and Jones reunited, as well as a team with 3 former UK players.
May 30th, 2012 at 8:40 pm
I’m very happy for our Cats. Davis steers clear of Charlotte and that train wreck they have going on right now! Hopefully the Bobcats take their homeboy Barnes and leaves Kidd for Washington.
May 30th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
MKG to the queen city please!
May 30th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
Just sick about Charlotte losing the #1 pick.I live in the Charlotte area,and was looking forward to seeing AD play here.Had a chance to buy season tickets for $43 had Charlotte won the pick.Now they go to $86.Oh well,i’ll get to see AD when he comes to town to play Charlotte.
May 30th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
I was hoping for washington, and then charlotte, just because I could see AD play there in person. But seriously, the NBA owned team, just got a new buyer and gave them the #1 pick to sweeten the pot and make amends for letting CP3 walk.

Need to start a #MKG2DC tag
May 30th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Shoot It !! was the first thing that came to mind when the NO owner started speaking
May 30th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Guess this means Jordan will use his Bobcat’s picks on some UNC guys.
May 30th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Why this fascination with UK stars all on the same NBA team? I personally want them as spread out as possible preferably so that there is at least one UK player on each team. That way, in my own twisted world, UK always wins the title…
May 30th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
17. We sure hope not!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Charlotte can suck it. They didn’t need a 2nd team after Shinn screwed them over & bolted to NO. Charlotte is about as bad a sports city as Atl. Soooooo glad Davis isn’t going to languish there.
Jordan is too stupid as an exec to take MKG. Look for Robinson or Beal there. Barnes may be Jordan’s pick. He’s really that clueless.
Go Hornets!! UK with TWO #1 overall picks in three years. WOW!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
This does not bode well for Anthony Davis or Kentucky. The NBA just guaranteed that Davis will have to spend his entire career playing in the city of his FINAL COLLEGE LOSS. What recruit will want to pick UK when they are going to be forced to deal with a loss for the rest of their basketball career?
May 30th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
I live in Charlotte and was praying he would come here! Who knows, maybe us NC Kentucky fans get to watch more of MKG. Anyways, congrats to Anthony. It was a blessing to have him as a Kentucky wildcat.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
21… WTF? Fail.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
NJT is having an off-night
May 30th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Insider has their new draft and with the 29th pick…it shows the Bulls drafting John Jenkins, but with a picture of Doron Lamb…way to go 4 letter network…
May 30th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
Bleacherreport.com predicts Terrence Jones to the New Orleans Hornets with pick number 10 from Minnesota Timberwolves…..
May 30th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
To all the nc cats fans. I’m adopting a baby in July and need to sell my 1965 Buick Wildcat convertible. Blue with a white top. Email me tom_ezrc247@yahoo.com if you are interested and you could own the coolest ride in the carolinas.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
21 – Not funny! BJ Mullens…your name is BJ. This does not bode well for your ability to be respected by your peers. Good luck with that.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
good fit for him. they already have another potential star in eric gordon in addition to two first round picks
May 30th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
As a diehard member of BBN and a life long Hornets fan, even after they traded Grandmama/Zo and moved, I am really pumped up. I can’t wait to go back to NOLA and see the Big Brow play again this time in a different uniform.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
Ahhhhhh… all of us Hornets season ticket holders just breathed another huge sigh of relief. Thank you, Mr. Benson.
Thank you, NBA. WELCOME TO NEW ORLEANS, MR. DAVIS!!!!!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
I hope MKG slips to 3rd…………Why? Because Kemba Walker is a hot dog and he stinks. We all know it and I’m saying it. Also, T Jones will have the best pro career out of the UK big 3. Watch and see. I said it right here.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
Jordan, please take MKG and give me a reason to watch that garbage you call an NBA franchise!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Raleigh sucks. Bunch of crybabies like #20. Is Raleigh a better sports city or something? Nice support of the Hurricanes there guys… AAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
May 30th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Raleigh is home to the Stanley Cup ’06. Only the hardest trophy to win in all pro sports. Played for it in ’02 as well.
Durham is home to violent crime, crack houses & Dook.
I win.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:21 pm
MKG is not going to the Wizards. You cant have him and Wall on floor together since both are below average shooters.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:54 pm
If Anthony Davis had been in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina he coulda blocked some of the shots directed at the helicopters that were trying to help people.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:44 pm
35. Meet me on Alston Ave and say that.
And my comment about the ‘Canes was referring to the ZERO support they are shown in Raleigh DESPITE their success. Geez sometimes you just have to spell out for people… Must be a State grad…
May 31st, 2012 at 1:23 am
Glad AD isn’t headed to the Bobcats; but no one finds it funny that the team the NBA used to own & just sold got the first pick?
May 31st, 2012 at 1:28 am
37. Incorrect. Davis would have blocked the entire storm system of Katrina from even getting close to New Orleans.
May 31st, 2012 at 8:18 am
Hello! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the good information you’ve gotten here on this post. I might be coming back to your blog for more soon.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:45 am
John Wall and MKG? That sounds like big trouble for any team that can’t control the fast break.
May 31st, 2012 at 3:11 pm
woaaah, thats me!! lmao.
