I would be ok with him at 39. Not having to worry about dline will be nice

Unfortunately I think McConkey is gone by our pick. Corley I like but playing at Western Kentucky he rarely played against really good competition. I like Legette over Corley but Ladd is my #1 of WRs that I think could possibly be there at 33. Ladd - Adonai - Legette - Worthy - Coleman - Corely - Polk - Franklin - in that order for me.

The production argument is the same that could be said about Legette. Breakouts can happen but I agree with you that Wilson has been more consistent. It's just hard to overlook Cooper last season. He just popped.

T'Vondre Sweat (DT): I absolute love the thought of him in the middle with Brown and Robinson right beside him. Shy Tuttle while good as a rotational piece isn't the space eater that Sweat is. The thought of having him on the line is super exciting. Edgerrin Cooper (LB): I know the board loves Payton but I like this guy even more and comes without the injury concerns. He can blitz and is extremely fast. He also is good in coverage. Khyree Jackson or Cam Hart (CB): I just want one of those big body CBs that can be taken in the mid rounds. Ja'Lynn Polk (WR): I really like this WR. He seems to be a great WR to take over for Thielen when he moves on. Love his hands and is a bit shifty. Doesn't have breakaway speed but really like the potential with him in the slot. I do like other WRs better but don't see too much written about him. As much as I would like to have an EDGE, I haven't seen too many that I really like. What do you all think of these players and who are some of your random draft crushes?

Young core is fantastic and fun when Gordon doesn't slow this team down or Terry isn't pounding the rock for 15 seconds of the shot clock. If only we can get lucky and get a Desmond Bane 3 and D type player at the SG position and this team will be amazing. I also have a good feeling that Nick Smith Jr can be a nice 6th man if developed properly. The few times he enters the game, he has the right mentality and the game doesn't seem to big for him. Fun future IF we don't do anything stupid on and off the court!

Which is why I wanted Scoot but we got Miller now so got to support him and hope he works out!

I wanted Scoot but I am fine with Miller. We needed a shooter and he does have good size. The reason I like this pick better than when it was first announced was how happy Lamelo was that we picked him. He facetimed him and seems to really like him. Now, I do like the other picks as well. Overall, nice draft just not flashy since we didn't go with Scoot.

Who is the best shooter 3 and D type player SF or PF that could be available with pick #27?

I agree we need someone like Draymond here. We don't have an outspoken leader on this team. Miles was our most intense player that we had and we missed that last year. Since it looks like Miles will be back that fills the intense player part but we are still lacking the veteran toughness. I hate players like Draymond, Kyle Lowry, Steven Adams, Brooks and Morris twins but they do bring something that we don't have so I wouldn't be opposed to bringing a player like that in the locker room. We are too nice on the court currently.

There is no way that any competent GM in the league would ever say DSJ is even a sliver of a reason not to draft Scoot. Either we are completely overvaluing DSJ or completely undervaluing the potential in Scoot! Yes, the idea of a 6'7 PG paired with a 6'9 SG (Miller) is enticing, I am worried about him being able to keep up with the quicker SGs that the league has. He also doesn't have the strength for the stronger SFs. We are going to have the same issue pairing our 6'7 PG with a 6'2 (Scoot) shooting guard but for some irrational feeling I do feel better even on defense with the Melo/Scoot backcourt.

Elephant in room? DSJ is a reason not to take Scoot. Jesus man that makes absolutely no sense at all. A 6 yr PG who was almost out of the league and came and is a solid backup to 3rd string PG is really a reason for not picking Scoot?? I like Miller and would be fine drafting him but this take is worse than the ones you are complaining about that are only talking about Millers off court issues.

Man, I have been wanting Scoot to team up with Melo and didn't even consider this point and to be honest this is super valid as well. We have a running mate with Melo if Melo is able to stay healthy. Pretty much just switching Terry for Scoot which is an obvious upgrade. Then we have a backup option in case injuries happen as well. I didn't think I would get talked in to wanting Scoot more but you did it!

Miller is a better shooter yes but to say that automatically translates to a better scorer is just flat wrong. Taking someone off the dribble and finishing in the paint or shooting a midrange that is scoring as well. What it boils down to is this: I am more confident that Scoot can develop his 3 point shot over Miller being able to improve his athleticism and start taking people off the dribble.

Give me Scoot!!! Haven't read through all this but Scoot has a chance to be special, a #1 on a team. I think Brandon Miller, while good, is at best a #2 or more likely #3. A Melo, Scoot, Miles, PJ and Mark lineup would be fantastic! It would be a lot of fun and I am not worried about defense. Mark has shown that he could be an anchor on defense and clean up any mistakes our guards can make. I just want this pick as bad as I wanted the Monk pick. He didn't end up working out but this does get me excited at the thought of what this team could be. My comp for Scoot is an in shape Baron Davis. My comp for Miller is Kris Middleton. Give me Scoot!

Obvious answer is WR but I want the following in this order. QB, WR, Pass rusher, MLB, OG depth , CB depth

If we pick the right QB, Reich will get the credit. If we pick the wrong QB Tepper will get the blame. Either way I'm not going to go to bat for a billionaire. Let him get the heat. My biggest complaint is that for both our pro teams he hasn't put his money where his mouth is regarding facilities. He got a bubble and that's about it.

I totally want this jacket.

Very true on how do you get rid of Hayward. Man we have made some poor decisions.

I swear if fans ran the damn team we would be better off. I don't even mind the moves today and still think we are a crap franchise. I understand moving Jalen bc we weren't going to resign him. Glad we moved Plumlee bc I'm sick of watching him play. My issue is we didn't just bite the bullet and move on from Hayward and Rozier.

Right now we still are going for the perfect shot that makes espn. I feel like every shot is a power shot. Not much finesse with our shots on goal. Also when we have an opportunity at 2 v 1 we usually have the guy with the ball taking the shot. Need to have a setup guy. To be honest, Karol seems to be our best crosser which makes it hard since he is our supposed target guy.

So your pissed about the original deal. The stoppage of work just gives you reason to complain about the original deal. Understood

The question isn't if i agree to the original deal bc that is a no. I don't think it was a good deal for the city but THEY made the deal. I can't believe people don't care about keeping their word and would rather side with politicians.

Yeah Tepper you suck for not understanding our politicians were going to blatantly lie and then try to turn everything around on you bc you have a low approval rating. Fact is if the city agreed to something they should stand by their word and stop being shady.

Damn this thread is crazy. ROCK HILL DEAL - People Mad at Tepper: It has nothing to do with this deal. People don't like him or his decisions with the Panthers. If the Panthers ended last season winning 12 games they would be on Teppers side. For those people that are mad. Here's an analogy for you. You hire me to build a deck. You agree. Half way through you don't give me the agreed upon money. I stop work. You ask me to finish building the deck and pay for it and you will pay me back over the course of 20 years or so. I'm pissed and don't respond. So now you and your friends bash me bc you're the asshole that didn't follow through with deal. That is the Rock Hill summary.

I am super excited for this team. A year ago I would never have been watching MLS and now I have a team to route for! Ben Bender is going to be a fantastic player for us until he gets shipped off to Europe. I am excited to see his growth. I was super impressed as a rookie he was doing corners on both sides. I have no expectations from this team this year and hell probably next year but they looked worlds better in the 2nd half than the 1st. This team will grow and when we get more speed on the wings and more consistent play in the middle we are going to be fun to watch!
