I'll preface this by saying I'm no NBA guru or follow it like the NFL and am not an NC State fan.. At all.

But I watch this kid and he's damn impressive. Good size, great scorer and a skillset that looks like will translate well and early in the league.

So if anyone has any opinions on him or wants to break him down feel free to in here.

We need offense and the kid brings it. He's one of those forward tweeners which may sway people away but if you're looking for points on the board, he's a viable option IMO.

What say you?

I thought he was great in college last year and I think he will transition well into the NBA.  He needs to improve his 3 point shot to be more than a role player at the next level, and unfortunately his lack of an outside shot makes him a bad fit with the Hornets roster right now.

 

If he's there at 24 I would be glad to take him, but I dont think he will be there and it doesnt make sense to trade up for a guy who wont fit the team right now

And lol at acting like there is much of a difference between the 2 spot and 3.

There is... one is a front court player and one is a back-court player.

The three is most likely more versatile because he can guard three positions on the floor.

Not to mention the way you play the game is completely different, you don't necessarily have to be a good shooter to be a successful small forward (i.e. Luol Deng and even LBJ early in his career) because your body is big enough where you can take it to the rack and even play down low.

However, you have to be a good shooter in order to play the two spot because you have to be able to stretch the floor so teams can't help out on your post players.

That's actually a pretty big difference.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
