I am gonna say it, we should have drafted Lillard. I know you are gonna tell me but we have Kemba, but fug, Lillard is just on another level imo. 

 

The funny thing was I thought Lillard was the best / most skilled player in the draft. (not potential) And still would have past on him due to Kemba. 

 

Looking back that was a bad decision. Kemba is not a tier 1 player. Close and some could say he could become one, but right now he is on that 2nd tier of PG's. 

 

Lillard is a sure fire 1st tier PG and potential perennial all star. 

 

Never pass up tier 1 talent unless you already have tier 1 talent at that position.

Dunlap (yes I'm aware he sucks) sure used Kemba and Pargo a lot to close games in Lillard's rookie season, so I think we could have made it work.

 

thats beside the point. you cant pass up tier 1 talent unless you already have tier 1 talent at same position.

Lillard 20.7 ppg - 3.5 rpg - 5.6 ast

Kemba 17.7 ppg - 4.2 rpg - 6.1 ast

Now imagine them together.  With a healthy Big Al.

 

Man, I'm not 100% sure it would work, but it'd be damn fun to watch.

Why you leave off shooting %'s and the year differences? 

 

Kemba is a nice PG but he isn't on Lillards level.

becus i was on my phone and cudnt bring up full stats...

 

 

Lillard .427 FG% - .381 3pt% - 0.8 steals - 2.7 turnovers

Kemba .398 FG% - .322 3pt% - 1.4 steals - 2.2 turnovers

 

you guys are making it out like Kemba is a child compared to Lillard. They are pretty close- but the edge def goes to Lillard

Kemba is a really nice PG, hence even I who rarely if ever puts on homer glasses, am guilty of doing so in this instance. 

 

Kemba is def a tier 2 PG right below the elites. And hell maybe one day can become elite. It was clear as day Lillard was a tier 1 PG / player in this league i.e size, athleticism, skill, etc.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
