If we keep the 9 pick I think he would be the safest bet on who will pan out in the league. I think he's learned his lesson and we have the group of guys that can keep him from falling into questionable activities. Coach Clifford has said before that we have the type of locker room where he would feel comfortable bringing in someone with a questionable character. The only real question is PJ Worth the risk?

PJ's stock is rising and I'm starting to see multiple mocks now where PJ goes at #9. Even if a team snatches him up in the late teens I could see us making a trade for him, we want him bad. And TBH, if the team believes he is their guy I don't care where we draft him. if PJ never got in trouble and was able to play another year at UNC he probably would be been a top 7 talent.

Not a lot of difference in the 9th best guy, and the 19th best guy in this draft IMO.

 

After the elite tier (Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, Exum, maybe Randle), and the second tier (Randle, Gordon, Vonleh), the third tier guys all mesh together and I'd include PJ in that one with guys like Stauskas, McDermott, Saric, etc.

 

If PJ is the guy at 9, so be it. May seem like a reach to some, but his potential and NBA-readiness compared to some other guys makes him a potentially great pick. Of course, if it all works out.

Agreed, you take your guy at 9. Big drop off after the first four/five guys in this draft.

I don't think we end up with PJ.

 

He's not good enough to warrant the 9th pick IMO, but good enough that he probably won't be there at 24. 

I hope I'm wrong.

 

You seen who is projected around 9-13? PJ is easily on their level both skill wise and athletically.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
