I'm sure we would've considered him along with McDermott if Vonleh wasn't available.  I thought Vonleh being available made him a must-take pick.  He can be a serious force in this league so don't put too much bank in the summer league.  

 

The guys ready to step up day-1 will look great right now and TJ is one of those guys.

He shot 26% from the 3pt line last season.

 

Wow.  I didn't realize that until I checked it out.  He still has a way of putting it in the hoop but that stat is interesting...especially given the drop from the year prior.  

 

With the supporting backcourt in Phoenix, he's gonna a strong fit there.

Warren doesn't exactly shoot well from the perimeter and his free throw percentage is pretty poor. Personally, I don't think he'll ever develop a perimeter game because the extra three feet from the college three point line to the pro line will make a huge difference.

However, he can fill it up with the best of them. He has a fantastic mid-range game, rebounds with the best of them, and plays solid defense.

Phoenix got a very good player.

He can score. We need scorers. And, his jumper will improve. Lebron could not shoot when he entered the League, either.

Comparing him to LeBron shows your homerism. TJ is a good player but he would be a terrible fit in Charlotte. Also, SL is a glorified pick up game against horrible players. He's not gonna do that during the regular season.

We don't need scorers, we need 3pt shooters. Kemba, Al, & Marvin can all score. We need a wing who can shoot. TJ would be horrible beside Henderson/MKG. He can't shoot and create space for Big Al or take pressure off Kemba.

Charlotte already has a pair of starting wings who can't shoot the ball. Warren would've been a terrible fit.

 

Not quite. 

 

Warren is a straight scorer regardless if he isnt a 3pt shooter. Something we do not have one the wing (not at the SF position anyways).

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
