Lance has been a bust. A little off topic but I went back and looked at the 2011 NFL draft class.. What does Nicola Vucevic, Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard have in common? They where ALL still avaliable when we decided to draft Kemba.. Why!!?' :(

Please tell me we have a new scouting dept from then and now.

Kemba was a fine pick that year. The problem was we picked Bismack over all those guys you mentioned based solely on potential over actual production.

Here's an interesting trade....

Scola, Stuckey, and Copeland for Lance, Taylor, and a 2015 2nd round pick?

All three are on expiring contracts and would give Charlotte a chance to go after a pretty solid player with $11 mil in cap space.

PG: Walker, Roberts, Pargo

SG: Stuckey, Henderson, Hairston

SF: MKG, Williams

PF: Scola, Zeller, Copeland

C: Jefferson, Biyombo, Maxiell

Bc Vucevic, Klay, Leonard, etc were low profile guys. Kemba was college basketball great and at the time a really good pick. College great just doesn't translate to the pro.

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
