Talks about how no one really respects our starting perimeter guards and why we can't adjust. I felt this way after the first few games. Main reason i feel our future depends on getting Stephen Curry to come home and replace Kemba. Either that or were going to have to get lucky and find a draft gem

Kind of reminds me of the Raptors last season. They got better after they traded Rudy Gay.

What's discouraging is that this team should be much better offensively than last season, and you caught a glimpse of what could happen if everything went well in the first half of the Portland game.

Cho knew what that article pointed out would be an issue and brought in Marvin Williams to space the floor but he's even less of a scoring threat than MKG.

IMO the bench is more of an issue than the starters as is the lack of creativity. Brian Roberts, for all his efficiency scoring, doesn't take care of the ball and is a worse version of Kemba. I don't have to explain Maxiell's issues. Not absolving the starters here but an upgrade at backup PG and C would do wonders.

Also, we have a big decision to make regarding Al. The scoring strength of these starters lies in their ability to drive the ball, not spot up shooting. The problem is Al needs the paint in order to score. Otherwise with he's defense he becomes a major negative out on the court.

It's early and this schedule isn't conducive to trying to ease your way into establishing chemistry but I think we will see a much better result once they come back East off this gauntlet of a schedule they have right now.

I think time will heal all. We have new players that need to develop chemistry together, we need to figure out the right starting line up and rotations. I wouldn't mind a trade but what would we give up? We don't have a lot of depth at forward/ center and I don't think anyone wants Henderson. That leaves draft picks.

Like cbarrier90 said we need a backup PG and C badly. I didn't like the Roberts signing when it first happened and now that I am seeing him play I dislike it even more. He does a terrible job protecting the ball and isn't knocking down the deep balls like people saw him do in NO. I really wish we would have tried to sign a vet like Jameer Nelson.

 

Center isn't as big of an issue I blame that more on Clifford. Biz seemed to be developing some what and he already was a solid rim protector which our second unit is painfully missing. Maxiell doesn't even average 2 rpg or a blocked shot as a backup C getting 12 to 16 min per game. Every time Maxiell enters the game we get torn apart in the paint and rely on Cody to rebound and play the rim protector. I just don't understand Clifford's logic.

Roberts def isnt starter material but is a def upgrade over Ridnour.

I wanted jameer but he's been hot garbage this year.

As far as Roberts, his ball security isn't greatbut his assist to turnover numbers are the same as the starter.

Regardless, Roberts isn't a good passer on a team of players that aren't good passers.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
