Won't do much to convince the skeptics that he's any good as he's viewed as lacking upside. Makes sense he would start strong but then peter out over time as others are improving and he's already a finished product. 

 

Still it's good to see him hitting 3s. I wont lie, I'm salivating a bit over what he can do with MKG, Zeller and Kemba on the court with him.

No upside? Because he was a senior?

 

Pretty silly.

 

Take a look at the all time NBA greats, most were juniors or seniors. 

He's 22. I believe the oldest player drafted in the lottery this year. His game improved drastically while in college (leading some to believe he's peaked early,) he lacks fast-twitch play, has average wingspan and he's unathletic (aka white.)

 

I'm not saying that I believe he has little upside. This is just what Ive heard from scouts/scouting videos. I believe these same guys also said Steph Curry lacked upside when he was drafted.

He's WHITE?

Scouts say he has less potential because theoretically a 19 year old has developed less physically and mentally. 

The issue is people tend to disregard how talented (or not) that same 19 year old is currently.

People fall in love with an athletic freak with no actual talent, just because he is young and athletic. Sure, he could develop into an elite player, but it is a complete crap shoot. His actual potential might have him end up where Frank is now.

Frank is 22 and shows an incredible skill level and feel for the game. I know it is a different game, but most football rookies are 21-23 and no one says they lack potential.

Frank will continue to mature physically for another 5 years or so, and I see him expanding mentally as well.

Will he improve as much as a guy like Myles Turner who is 19? Probably not...

...but then again, Frank is already "myles" ahead of Turner in his development.

Sorry for the pun, but it was too corny not to type...

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
