Bacon is a legit NBA starter. The same goes with Bridges. I wish we would have rolled the dice with Graham at starting PG instead of signing Rozier to that God awful contract. Outside of those three I mentioned it was crapola. Cody Martin looks like the bad pick we thought he was. Meeks and Hicks I thank yall for helping my Tar Heels win a championship but no way are you guys NBA talent.

What is actually stopping Bacon to be a Oladipo type player?? Victor is a more explosive athlete but Bacon has better handles and a better jump shot and 3 pointer.. And Bacon game is very smooth like a Joe Johnson...

 

Just Faster

Crazy, he reminds me of Joe Johnson. I really like his overall game and he is not a bad defender as well, just a solid defender. He will be fun to watch as he progresses this season, along with Bridges. If we could land the number one or number two pick in this upcoming draft, we would have a good young core to build on.

Bacon is a fugging steal 

Really hope he holds off from exploding this year and pulls us out of tank range.

But if we could add a young elite stud like Cole Anthony in next draft to pair with him.  We could be starting to cook something

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
