have the Hornets not learned from Adam Morrison! you don't draft american whites!!!

You don't draft a "shooter" in the lottery if you can help it, you draft superstar potential, athletic freaks. Both McDermott and Stauskas will be drafted before 13. Neither should be.

I bet GSW is glad they didn't think that when they drafted Curry

I'd be completely fine with McDermott as the pick. He can straight up shoot the basketball, something we are missing.

No one should get drafted in the lottery just because they can "shoot" unless they are incapable of missing or being defended.

Yes, because that's all he can do.

 

 

Who do you want to draft at 9?

No one. Either trade up or back, or package the pick for a veteran if you're going to pick a one-trick pony that will break down the first time some heavy defense is on top of him. 

 

Without NBA defenders, he looks like he can do more than shoot, doesn't he?

Curry can do more than "just shoot."

Keep trying.

There were a lot of questions about him before the draft. Many scouts didn't think he could be an effective PG and didn't think he was big and strong enough to be a SG. The only thing they knew was he could shoot

I think you're overestimating what a #9 pick in a draft can do. It's really a crap shoot. 

 

I'm personally down for any option to make us better, whether its to get a vet or another draft pick, but if we do keep our #9 pick, my top choice would be Zach Lavine based off athleticism if no other player projected earlier drops like Smart, Randle, Exum, etc. 

 

I'd really love to get a combo guard more than anything.

Everyone knew he had to be a PG to survive in the NBA. His projected position was clear. What's McDermott's? Anything you say is your opinion.

I used the word "package" because I'm not overestimating it. #9 alone isn't going to get you what you need.

      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.
