Re: Hornets hope another gem falls their way..
I'd be pretty happy with the picks you have, you're guaranteed to get at least one useful bigman (out of those listed), and can probably get a decent wing too.
Or even draft someone else, then trade him n JR somewhere.
Even getting a pick from a high playoff team next year is useful, that draft looks to be deep.
As it is, rebuilding around Chris Paul isnt going to be particularly difficult - you have a good cap situation, looking to have picks in decent places, and moveable pieces (Smith, Mason, possibly Claxton ((S/T)), even Marc Jackson - everyone needs a big, or simply as a salary throw in)
O'Bryant would be good if he's available, you have time to let him develop.
I can actually imagine you taking White in the second, if he's available - good wing next to Paul, excellent backup if not decent starter - plus he'll help draw fans (and business opportunities - i still think he's likely to win the dunk contest next year)
But most importantly, everyone needs to fit around Chris Paul. (though it is likely you'll need to trade for an allstar calibre sidekick down the line)
