I admit it’s possible, but I trust in these guys there to not let that happen. Biz has been a somewhat pleasant in the meantime but I’ve been really sick of him fumbling so many perfect passes under the basket that should be easy dunks or layups. I think Zeller coming back will only help the team win games even more. We really do desperately need an upgrade at C for next year though. PJ is fine for a small ball center but as we saw against Philly twice we’ll get absolutely fuging crushed by good teams with big men who are threats.

I met Cody at Cam's kickball event once and had no idea how tall that kid is even knowing his height. 

 

That said, he has never impressed much. No issue with him just coming off the bench. Why mess with the current chemistry that seems to be working.

being around someone that tall can get your attention.  There was a center for NC State called Chuck Neavitt  (sp) who was 7 foot 5.  I remember reading a newspaper article about him where his mom said she bought 3 pairs of pants to make 2 for him.

I went to the old North South doubleheader at the Charlotte Coliseum and went down to say hi to a friend in the NC state pep band in the bleachers behind the goal.  I was 14 or 15.  Neavitt walked by.  It got my attention.  People that size are so much bigger than you think just watching on tv.

Agreed...but a big man that give us productive minutes can help us

not a UNC homer, but I'm watching Day'ron Sharpe.   6' 11'',   265.  currently averaging 9.8 pts and 8.3 rebounds per game on a young UNC team with guard trouble.  Not sure how the big man market looks next year, but I can see Gordon keeping the lanes open and melo zinging passes into this guy.

Sharpe has potential and love his toughness but he needs lots of development.  These frosh the days are so completely raw and lack basic fundamentals.  Its pretty crazy.  Most cant hit free throws.

You're tell your age bro.  Don't worry I remember Neavitt too.  Tommy Burleson was 7' 2" for the NCSU national championship in 74.  Even on TV the guy looked tall as hell.

I was living in Greenville NC when State won the National Championship.  I was outside playing basketball when the neighbor damn near broke sound records when the game ended and NCSU was NC.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
