Difference is Lance plays shitty defense and turns the ball over almost as often as he gets an assist. PJ in extended minutes, looks for the best shot, whether it be for himself or a teammate. Lance, on the other hand, looks for whatever will get him a stat on the stat sheet.

Lance sucks.

And if you're saying he lacks athleticism, that's just blind hate lol. No one is saying he is the second coming get of MJ, but he has the potential to be our leading scorer, and I believe, a James Harden in OKC-type of player.

You are a potato.

ugh

 

Lance sucks because he throws up a ton of bricks... but PJ sucks because he throws up a ton of airballs.

 

I guess the airballs are less likely to start a break on the other end, so I guess PJ is a little better in that way.

Dear god please stop the PJ talk.

3/10 shooting. Those are Lance numbers.

PJ sucks. And he's gonna suck for his career. He shows limited athleticism and lacks the work ethic and basketball IQ needed to overcome his athleticism issues.

Where have you gotten the idea that Hairston has limited athleticism? Athleticism is the least of his worries. He shot 30% last night, but 100% two games before that.. It's just inconsistency that every rookie goes through. Either you're a Duke/NC State fan holding unwarranted hate for Hairston or you've gotten the wrong idea about him. He's had a far from impressive rookie season, but he still has a very bright future with us.

Anyone that denies our teamplay is significantly better with him out there versus the alternatives clearly has ulterior motives.

Despite his inconsistent shooting AS A ROOKIE, watch how many defenders sag off of him... Watch how they move when he gets the ball. He spaces the floor even if he's throwing up airballs.

Alternatives? Based on plus/minus, the only option worse than him is lance.

But that's the point, Jase... Lance and Brian Roberts are pretty much what they are. They aren't growing much more. Our rookies, in this case, PJ, have mounds of potential.

That is all I've been arguing for. PJ should've been getting those minutes. Clifford keeps telling people Noah isn't ready, but he Damn sure has looked ready to contribute anytime I've seen him play, so I call bullshit.

Both of them would add much needed floor spacing AT THE VERY LEAST, and yet, Clifford continued to roll out Lance, Roberts, and Maxiell all season until we were pretty much out of the race (somewhere around the last loss to Boston).

The young guys should've been getting minutes over guys that were losing games, but they got time simply because they were "vets."

And again, look at the stats of the games that PJ and Noah have gotten extended minutes.

Also, with the plus/minus, that's a rough start to gauge... I think in cases like with Biz and AL, it is very telling, as they were both playing with virtually the same unit while AL was out with injury and Biz ended up having a higher plus/minus in the same conditions. Whereas, you're comparing PJ's p/m with everyone else's regardless of the surrounding circumstances (i.e.,starting v. bench, injuries, minutes per game, consistent minutes over x span of games, etc.).

While we are on the subject, anyone impressed with Hairston's defense? Definitely better than expected.

Nope. He sucks. Clearly, the next Corey Higgins.

Lacks athleticism, really amazed by his lack of desire and intensity. I mean, Lance is a fuging bulldog, foaming at the mouth to get the ball back on every defensive opportunity,especially after he just rolled another threaded needle pass off a defender's foot out of bounds.

wow. Smh.

Those of you using the "he's a rookie" excuse were probably the same as those saying "he's not a rookie since he played in the D league" camp during the draft.

The guy averages a solid 15 mpg when he plays (hardly the "he's afraid cliff will pull him at any moment" excuse I've read on this board) and somehow manages to chuck six shots in those 15 minutes. He's a chucker that can't shoot. In fact, he chucks more shots per 48 at a lower percentage than our other sucky two guard Lance.

Truthfully, this team is so bad at SG, they should just play hendo and Mo there and DNP Lance and PJ every night.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
