Nba Tickets - Hornets Bolster Roster With Davis, Rivers
Posted by ghdfsd ghdfsd on Saturday, November 17, 2012
For the New Orleans Hornets, the future is now. Every NBA team looks forward to the draft as an opportunity to draft players who could possibly be the next superstar. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, and history is filled with stories of teams passing up players that end up being all-time greats for ones that end up being colossal busts. Teams truly do not know, which is part of the intrigue of the draft. While each team would love to draft the next big thing to help them sell NBA tickets and win NBA titles, very few of them will. Since it's part of the excitement, the Hornets hope that their recent draft picks will turn out to be future stars.
The New Orleans Hornets ended up drafting three players with unique talents that came from schools with winning traditions. In addition to their pedigrees, all three of them will fill important needs for the Hornets. While many teams will often draft the best player available, regardless of how they fit with the team (in terms of wholesale Indianapolis Colts jerseys availability), the Hornets wanted to fill the team's needs with the best players they could find.
The Hornets chose Anthony Davis with their first pick, a power forward out of Kentucky. Duke shooting guard Austin Rivers would follow at #10, and the Hornets would snag Darius Miller (also from Kentucky) with the pick at #46.

When it comes to the potential of Anthony Davis, many scouts say that Davis is as close as a team can come to a sure thing. Being universally acclaimed as the best player available in the draft, Davis provides exceptional agility and length on defense, and his potential for his offensive skills is seen as "off the charts" according to many scouts and analysts. The best-case scenario is that he develops into a star offensive player for the Hornets.
When it comes to Austin Rivers and his potential, the Hornets see him as a late bloomer. It was just one year ago when Rivers was considered to be the #1 player coming out of high school. His great intangibles and ability to impact the score from any place on the basketball court was on display at Duke. While there is slight concern about Rivers' ability at point guard because of the fact that he's had more turnovers than assists, head coach Monty Williams sees Rivers playing some point for the Hornets along the way. Rivers' ability to run an offense, as well as his youth and eagerness to learn, has the Hornets believing he will become a player who ends up being able to create his own shot and open up opportunities for teammates as well.
While there are still concerns for the Hornets and areas the team needs to improve upon, this team has a great coach, character and talent. Whether Davis turns out to be a future star, or whether he joins the long line of NBA picks who end up being NBA busts, anything is possible in the NBA, and the Hornets will have their fingers (or wings?) crossed.
