Well, every year we have a small bit of hope and optimism and unfortunately every year since the return of the Hornets to Charlotte we have been disappointed. In saying that I do feel like we can get a good player. 

I am leaning towards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. I feel like he would be a good complement with Malik Monk, which is our future. 

Who do you all want?

Him or Knox.  Maybe even lonnie walker. No more undersized players. If we draft a 6'6 power forward in the msu guy ill be pissed.

I was cool on Miles Bridges until semi recently. I've begun to warm up on him. Just curious, what about him don't you like?

He's 6'6 and is a power forward. Knox is a 6'9 small forward, sga is a big point guard, lonnie walker is a big guard.

My 2 cents...if Collin Sexton is there...he's the pick.  If not go with one of the Bridges (assuming Porter or Young don't drop).  Miles certainly isn't going to turn around the franchise but I like his junk dog demeanor.  Mikal I would love to get, sweet stroke and underrated athlete.

so mainly a height issue? I get that. I'm ok with his size bc with his frame he can guard multiple positions theoretically. The thing I don't know is what his defensive potential really is. His athleticism is off the charts tho.

 

Kevin Knox might be 6-9, but he's kind of a bean pole. I do like SGA.

SGA or Sexton please , both immediately solve our backup PG problem (see: MCW abomination), both are fantastic fits for the longterm next to Monk and both are insurance should Kemba leave next year or we trade him

I'd also be happy with Mikal or Smith if we believe in his potential 

 

No to knox (he would undoubtedly bust/or just half ass it on the hornets), no to miles bridges he's positionless in today's NBA

Should trade Kemba for biggest possible package and draft SGA. 

Start SGA and Monk, use the pick from Kemba trade to draft a forward. 

This is honestly where I am leaning as well. I really don't want to give up Kemba just to get rid of a contract. I would prefer a top pick in exchange for Kemba. I think the highest would be Cleveland or the Philly pick. Unfortunately, I don't think their would be a way to move up to 5 and get Michael Porter Jr. He is my shoot for the stars pick.

The argument for being positionless though is that the game is kind of trending in that direction. When I watch Boston, they literally have guys that can switch and guard multiple positions on defense, lead the break, create offense, etc. The reason I've warmed up on Bridges is because he's built and has a great frame plus I think his athleticism will allow him to guard 3's and 4's for sure and potentially some 5's and bigger guards. I just really don't know how good he can be defensively. He didn't post great steals numbers at MSU. That being said, I have this strange feeling that he's got this high defensive ceiling with the right coaching.

The main reason I'd choose different players over Miles (Carter, Mikal, SGA, etc) is that for a player that hangs his hat on explosive offensive play, he won't be the best athlete on the floor anymore and his shooting (right now) isn't enough of a difference maker. There are other guys that fill more distinct roles on the team as it stands. 

Basically I get the appeal from Miles Bridges, but I'm not 100% there on him being the guy for me right now.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
