He entered the college basketball season as the number one recruit in the country, spurning offers from powerhouses like Kentucky and Duke to end up playing for Penny Hardaway at Memphis.  Then mere weeks into the college basketball season, James Wiseman pulled an Avatar Aang and disappeared.

With his lack of game film, could he be in play for the Hornets at pick #3?  If so, is he worth taking?

This week we spend two whole hours discussing James Wiseman to the Hornets, what he does well, what he doesn't, and what type of a player we should expect him to become.

The Hornets roster is home to some divisive players like Malik Monk and Terry Rozier.  At least there was a bright spot for Hornets fans this year, a guard we can all rally around... Joe Chealey, obviously.  Oh, and Devonte' 'Golden' Graham.  But what do these players need to do to make the next step?  We discuss it all on this week's episode.

In a show recorded back when the Rookie of the Year votes were released, Jaynay goes absolutely atomic over PJ Washington not getting a single Rookie of the Year vote.  Then James and Pete continue their international feud as we discuss English cuisine (yes, that's a thing).

In this week's episode, James, Joseph, and Aaron talk playoffs.  Also, which team is better set for the future the Charlotte Hornets or the San Antonio Spurs?  We also discuss another North Carolina staple in chicken n' dumplings and chicken n' pastries, quiz the guys on who the top defensive Raptor players are, and then attempt to order the young Hornets players in order of suitability to build around.

Beyond the Hive gets personal, as each member (Joseph, James, Pete, Aaron, and Filippo) describes why they root for the Hornets.  Their answers may surprise you.  Then again, they may not.  We also discuss one skill that each forward on our roster could work on during this off-season, including PJ Washington, Miles Bridges, Cody and Caleb Martin, Nic Batum, Jaden McDaniels, and Dwayne Bacon.

Aaron also continues to search for a southern/North Carolina specialty that the international guests have heard of or tried, this week cornbread.

With the surprising jump from a mid-lottery pick to the third selection in the 2020 draft by a team that has had historically bad luck in the lottery, what do we do now?  This episode Joseph, James, Pete and Aaron discuss the consensus top-four draft prospects: James Wiseman, LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and Killian Hayes.

Plus, should we consider moving down?  How would these players fit in our current system?

This is part two of a deep-dive into the present and future of the Center  position for the Charlotte Hornets.  We look at the outstanding Hornets rookie, PJ Washington, and question whether he can play center either in short or long spurts.  We then turn our attention to some of the top Center prospects in the draft, including James Wiseman, Onyeka Okongwu, Zeke Nnaji, Xavier Tillman, Daniel Oturu, and even discuss Obi Toppin's fit.  In between, James drops a firey diss track on the Miami Heat for pursuing and extending Andre Iguodala instead of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

On the next episode we talk free agents who we should target, including potential starters and bench pieces.
