Well, it was live earlier today at any rate. But you can watch the replay here. For those of you who feared the Hype was dead due to the silence of the past month or so, here is your reassurance in the form of my lovely voice on the phone (no, I haven’t watched it, I hate listening to myself talk) drafting Cole Aldrich for the Hornets with the #11 pick. Unfortunately, I don’t show up till quite a ways into the show, but you should watch anyway because The Jones is always fun times. It’s a conservative pick, but I think the Hornets are going to go with a conservative pick. ‘Cause, you know, JR Smith’s mental maturity and Hilton Armstrong’s raw size worked out so well for them and stuff…
In case you’re keeping score at home, Hornets 247 also picked Aldrich in their mock draft, and At the Hive picked Patrick Patterson. All this really means to me is I’m waiting in anxious anticipation to see whether I’m going to mercilessly call our future rookie “Pat Pat” or “Kid With No Tooth” all season.
I admit, Kid With No Tooth has sort of a ring to it…
Cool
I’m not sure that you will be able to do any better than the nicknames from last year.
“Kid with no tooth” doesn’t have the same ring to it that “buckets” does.
I’m going to be sad if I have to call a player Pat-Pat for any period of time.
Lil Buckets and Lil Dimes are my boys. Maybe we can call the new guys Lil ______. I’m sure I’ll think of something. And then obnoxiously use it as a category. (See right column.)
