    Charlotte Hornets center Al Jefferson was named All-NBA third-team Wednesday, in a vote of media members who regularly cover the league.

Jefferson averaged 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and shot 51 percent from the field, leading the then-Bobcats to only the second playoff appearance in that franchise’s 10-year history    

 

Fug yeah

I really don't get all the love Noah gets. He is a good player but I don't consider him to be as good as everyone else seems to.

 

Congrats to Big Al, he totally deserved getting his name in the hat.

 

 

Name the Centers you would take over him? 

 

He is an all-around solid player. Nothing fancy but does everything well. Has good inside game able to use both hands, ugliest jump-shot outside of MKG and Shawn Marion but it finds its way in. Great athleticism and hustle make him a great defender inside and on the perimeter. Great at rebounds with fundamentals and effort. What I like best about him is is passing ability, he has great vision and natural knack for creating for teammates. He also can bring ball up court off rebounds and push the pace.  

 

He is a top 3-5 Center easily to me: Marc Gasol, Dwight Howard, Noah, Big Al, Timmy D and quickly rising is Anthony Davis. Listed in no particular order...

 

He isn't great at anything but above average at everything on the court. That is why I feel he gets overlooked so often.

I agree he is close to top 5, but I think that tells more about how weak the Center position currently is in the NBA more than it does about him. He is a good player, but I don't think he should ever finish top 5 in MVP voting.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
