Knox is my favorite wing player at the spot we are picking at. If he is there they should pick him and move MKG eventually. Him, Bacon, and Monk along with Hernangomez look to be legit young talent.

The way the NBA is playing with switching constantly we need players like Bacon who can switch on multiple players. In this draft Knox, Miles Bridges, SGA and Robert Williams all fit that defensive mentality. 

My only issue is Hernangomez switching on defense. His pick and roll defense isn't as bad as Dwight Howard but he does lack the lateral movement that the NBA is going to.

Look at Houston, Golden State and even Cleveland. McGee, Looney, Capela and Tristan Thompson all switching on defense and not being liabilities. I know Willy Cauley-Stein has been a disappointment and is on the trade block. He might be a great back-up center for that switching defense.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
