Curious to see what people think of this...

Give me your best 2-deep at every position - coming from the Bobcats and new Hornets rosters.

I'll do mine first:

PG: Kemba Walker / Raymond Felton

SG: Stephen Jackson / Gerald Henderson

SF: Gerald Wallace / Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

PF: Al Jefferson / Boris Diaw

C: Dwight Howard / Tyson Chandler

FWIW - I think this team would be in the hunt for a title.

If you're going by how they played when HERE,   Diaw and Chandler were straight bums.     I'd take Biyombo, Jefferson, Howard over him at center, even Okafor, who was actually really solid here.      For SF I'd take Richardson over MKG, even though I think he was mostly a SG here, I'd even take Batum off bench over MKG.

Diaw had 3 out of his top 4 seasons here in Charlotte...

I'm breaking the rule - cus if you can go back past the Bobcats, we aren't that sad of a franchise..

PG: Kemba, Muggsy
SG: Curry, Jackson
SF: Rice, Wallace
PF: LJ, Mason
C: Dwight, Zo

Kemba and Curry backcourt would be amazing off the dribble and spot up shooting. Rice's mid-range would also jell well with Kemba's slashing ability to kick out. Rice could also go iso with this playmaking ability and give Kemba a breather. LJ and Dwight would be monstrous on the glass and crashing.

Bench would do well too. Jackson at the 2 would help Muggsy's size out on defense. Wallace, Mason and Zo would be high energy-motor guys that can finish at the rim.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
