Sadiq feels like a lazy comp. Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize. I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods). I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need. A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.

I would eventually come around to the pick if thats the case but we can all agree 19 is wayyyyy too high for him here. I mean poo I would rather get a safety at 19 then try and trade back up for JR. Coming out of the first 2 rounds with Theinenman or emw paired with JR now that would be sick

IF they can get in, I think they can make the Detroit series closer than it should be. Really like the idea of being the 8, taking a couple games off the 1 seed to build momentum into next year. They're obviously not ready to do much more yet, but think a little playoff success would do wonders to cap this year.

Hornets fans are probably the worst homers in the NBA when it comes to LaMelo. Buddy is a supermax player and the entire offense goes through him. If he can't drive to the basket contact or no contact what are we even doing?

Ball also takes an absurd amount of contact with no calls driving to the basket, so I kinda get why he doesn't want to do it.

Just need a point in two games from either us or sabers losing.

Stank if he plays. Then Brindamour then Staal then Svech?

Haha that’s good!

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see us take Rodriguez at 19 in a "woah" move if we can't trade down. Morgan likes to double dip positions to turn them into strengths, and Lloyd in FA and Rodriguez by any means does that. Would prefer the OPs scenario, but don't think it's realistic at this point. A slight trade down in the 1st, get Rodriguez in the 20s, and then give me all your big men after that.

The top 2 in the league and 3 of the top 21 in 3 pointers made. It isn't the last month it's how they play. I'm fine with them shooting a ton of threes but they need to tweak the formula a bit. When they have a big lead they need to start driving to the basket, when games get tight down the stretch they need to start driving to the fuging basket. Miller needs to be the guy. Ball is afraid of getting hurt and Kon is a rookie.

At this point I just want to defeat the Heat. Anything else is a bonus.

You aren't wrong. Bryce Young has basically been given a free pass for opening three consecutive seasons playing horribly. And we are still going around like Tyrone Biggums trying to surround him with as much elite talent as possible just for him to possibly achieve mid status as a starter.

I just get the vide that Rodriguez is "our guy" this draft and Morgan is gonna find a way to get him. I'd really like him in the 2nd, but every other team also would take him in the 2nd which means we would have to trade up real early in the 2nd round or trade down and take him late in the 1st.

Panthers fans want to pick and choose what they think Dan Morgan was and wasn't involved with in the decision process when Fitterer was making poor moves. I get it. But the 2024 draft tells me Morgan was certainly heavily involved in most of it. Don't have to like it. But it is what it is folks. As I've said before. Learn to separate the former player from the team executive.

If these two guys like Rodriguez it's good enough for me

Ugh, no team is in desperate need of a TE where Sadiq's stock is, therefore draftnics/pundits are just linking him to us so he doesn't fall in mocks.

The Rams are way down the list and they crush drafting. Browns are #1 and they suck at drafting. All I can see this chart worthy of the ability of people to predict draft picks of teams better higher on the list than teams lower on the list.

I agree and the best we can hope for is that this is all a smoke screen for some reason. I think in the end we trade down a few spots

These arguments and justification for pre deciding WR just dont make any logical sense. If one slips then ok. Not my preference but so be it. We wont know whats best until the actual draft unfolds.

They set themselves up to have options. Im not sure why people think they have pre determined anything.

I do know this, nobody really knows which way the team will go.

The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul

Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too
