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.

      Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes

      Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
