Trying to temper my excitement 

But we may have hit on our first lottery pick in awhile.

 

Dude has shown flashes on D, with athletic blocks, running the floor well etc

 

Oh and he's 8-15 from 3 point range in the 3 games.

 

 

We wanted Kawhi, the best 3 and D in the league.  Well we may have drafted another really good one to be coached under a guy who coached Kawahi

This gentleman looks legit and I think it's fair to say it's not too soon.  

If we start by giving Miles, Malik, and Willy all over 18 min/gm min, they will be as effective as the starters and we could rack up some wins this season.  Would love to see Graham in sprinkles by mid-season if Parker is showing his age.

I feel like he's been everything that we always hoped MKG would be

Full disclosure...  the similarities in scouting reports was the exact reason I did not want to pick him and was extremely disappointed when we did, as I thought due to our history with athletic, defense-first, hustle-until-you-develop guys would dictate that he wouldn't pan out...

I am happy to report that I am ecstatically eating heaps of crow as I type this.  Miles is the real deal.  I remember talking with one of my friends who is a NYK fan, and he optimistically said he thought Bridges could end up like Larry Johnson, while our history led me to skeptically point to Anthony Bennett.  So far, he looks a lot like LJ...  First rookie to be really excited about in a long time.

Also, I wasn't super excited about Borrego's hire either, compared to some of the names that were out there (Fizdale, Stack, etc.), but man, I think we got that move right too for the first time in a long time (or ever).  Just hearing his strategy, philosophy, and views about the team presently and moving forward (including playing the best players and getting shots up in the first 8 seconds or so of the shot clock) just gets me hyped.

    • 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
