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.

      Ehhhh except a lot of it was his refusal in college not to play hero ball.....  The two things he greatly improved at the NFL level were his accuracy on the run and learning he didn't have to take the deep shot every play.   That said when taking a massive boom or bust athlete at QB the most important thing is their work ethic/coachability/desire to improve

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required
