Charlotte Hornets Round Table: Draft Day Questionnaire

What’s your trust level in Mitch Kupchak going into the draft?

Brendan: “High, I feel like Kupchak has had a plan all along, and only settles for what he thinks is best for the team. While many fans may be frustrated with no moves being made at the deadline this past season. Kupchak stated he did not want to forego the future of this team. He has a vision and tonight could be a key part of his master plan.”

Zachary: “Even though his Lakers tenure ended poorly, I have always had trust in Mitch Kupchak. He’s a good General Manager, and is coming off a strong first season in Charlotte. He has built championship teams before, and I think he’s making all the right moves right now. He’s a strong General Manager, and I think the fans just need to trust him and allow him to do his job.”

Elijah: “On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m going to say 8. He has a proven track record of success, but this is a different team with different circumstances. I’m more interested to see what he can do with the players we have now and how he can shed contracts for much-needed cap space.”

De: “I definitely trust him for drafting purposes, but the biggest test for me will be free agency and how he’ll handle the Kemba situation.”

Giovanni: “Currently, I trust Kupchak because I know he has done a lot of good things for the Lakers, but his lack of production has worried me. I would like to see Kupchak be aggressive this year, and bring in some talent that can excite Buzz City.”
