The ballhandling the defense the versatility the work ethic and the athletic ability. He's still very young and all he needs is a jumper.

I'm still fully behind the MKG project.

without any kind of a jump shot, teams will double off of him religiously.  He has to be able to hit the open shot.  He cant.  Its not his fault.  its just not in his skill set.  You have to be able to do more then defend to be successful in this league.

I like MKG, I really really do. His defense and slashing is wonderful, and he is a genuine nice high character dude. However, I'm very torn on what I want to happen to him from a basketball perspective. I don't want to be like Sacramento and give up on a player that has a chance to be special. But he needs a serviceable 15-25 foot jump shot to be a great player in this league. I'm not giving up on him yet, he at least deserves to ride out his rookie deal before we let him go imo.

This kid is the truth don't let 1 skill set detour you from this talented young player. He will develop this skill and there will be no stopping him.

as you can see from that video, MKG is at his best on a break and/or slashing to the basket.  It also appears he makes more jumpers when hes off balance.  IMO MKG isnt being used correctly.  Charlottes has been spacing everyon eout to make room for Big Al, this allows defenders to double off MKG and force him to shoot jumpers.  They need to have MKG slashing to the basket when Big Al is in the paint etc.  Dont keep MKG out away from the basket, keep him near it and he will succeed.

Id love to see him have take that playoff game performance and say this is who I am and just have that agressive nature to drive to the basket collapsing the defense on layups, floaters or kickouts..of course assuming we get shooters.

He is too timid and unselfish which takes him out the game imo.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
