Prospect Preview: Dennis Smith Jr.

For years now, the Hornets have drafted with a “win now” mentality; spurning the allure of tantalizingly volatile high risk/reward types in favor of safe, ostensibly NBA-Ready players. The Hornets approach the draft like your dad approaches buying pants: “What kinda moron spends a hundred bucks on some razzle-dazzle blue jeans when you can get a sensible pair of Kirkland slacks for a fraction of the cost?”

Look, there’s nothing wrong with a sturdy pair of Dockers. They’re safe, and reliable. Your dad needs them khaki slacks, bro. They’re not just pants, those are Business Britches.
