Everywhere i see him mocked to us- i don't like it, but i am coming to grips with it.

 

my question is = how does he fit into the team?

 

PG - Kemba - ???

SG - Hendo - Neal/Taylor

SF - MKG - McBuckets

PF - McBob - Zeller

C - Al - Biz - Haywood

 

Bleeehhh- that looks terrible in my opinion.. we absolutely need to fix our starting SG problem.

Well, we will still have 16+ million to spend.  We have #24.  We have #45.

 

We can find a decent starting or back up SG or PG.  Hendo isn't perfect, but he isn't complete garbage.  If he starts at #2 we will be fine

 

McD likely play behind MKG and be a 6th man to start his career.  That is fine.  These days if you are expecting a player to come in and start right away and be great you are probably fooling yourself.

 

So the fact he can be a backup next season is a good thing.

At #24 there will be some options at both guard spots.  Someone has to fall.  Lavine, Hairston, Clarkson, Payton, Young, Napier.  One of those guys will be there.

 

There is a part of me though that would rather see us go #9 Stauskas, #24 Early, #45 Deandre Kane

Nah, I believe the Kings will draft McDermott.  Of course my opinion concerning him has soften over the past couple of days.

 

Supposedly the Kings also like Stauskas.  I am cool either way personally even though I know others have strong opinions.  But if the Kings take McBuckets we can take Stauskus, if the take Stauskus we get McBuckets.

 

Right now, unless Randle drops to 9, those are the two main guys I am looking at there at #9

My question is why a lineup couldn't look something like this (if we don't sign a vet SG):

PG Walker

SG MKG (think Demar Derozan)

SF Dougie Fresh

PF McBob/Zeller

C Big Al

 

Not ideal, but that's the best way I see things working out. MKG could still guard the SF if Dougie couldn't handle it.

I've seen a lot of mocks having Aaron Gordon landing with the Kings too.

It will be interesting who we take if both are available. I would probably go with McDermott personally because I think he is the best shooter to come out of college in a while and may be able to play the 4 some. But Stauskas makes sense too. I would be good either way.

not to be a jerk, but you want to swap out our crappy shooting SG for our inept shooting SF???

 

gawd, i just wish MKG would work on his jumper all offseason and make it respectable.. not even good, just respectable.. if he did that, our team would catapult forward just like it did with the Jefferson signing..

McDermott is an efficient scoring monster. MKG-McDermott would be a hell of a lot better than Hendo-MKG.

White scoring machines in college do not translate in the NBA. Ammo, Jimmer, Reddick,...all scoring machines in college but nothing in the NBA. The elite white player was Love. Dougie will, at best, be a good spot up shooter off the bench. If we are looking shooter and fill our SG role I still prefer PJ. In a few years when they do a draft do over analysis PJ will be a top 5 pick if not higher.

      Carolina Panthers a Wild Card Team?

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      It's just a talking head.  Talking about gambling. If anybody takes the under on 4.5 wins, they're most likely losing their money.   So he's only saying if you want to bet on a possible sleeper, take the over.  It's not rocket science.  Pathetic that so many on the huddle have reduced themselves to posting purely trash every time they hit the submit button.

      I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario.  Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless.  ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team. TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team.  The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By 45catfan · Posted

      We screwed up a couple years ago taking Bryce in the first place.  Nobody held a gun to our head to jump from #9 to #1.  Most people who keep up with draft news knew this 2024 QB class was loaded and we should have waited, which I advocated. It was a dumb move and I knew it.  Now we have to roll with Bryce another year.  That's fine, because this 2025 class isn't that great.  I like Ewers, but not super high on him.  If Bryce shows improvement, which I think he will, that should get him at least one more season before we have to decide on if he's the permanent answer or not.  I've said before, the 2026 draft is the next window for a franchise QB if Bryce isn't the answer. Bryce gets this year and next at a minimum.
