I don’t see us being a real contender to win the East just yet. But we are playing really well right now while Terry and PJ have been injured. Bouknight and Kai haven’t even seen the court. If we can make a move for a center, I can see us making a run like Atlanta last year.

Why did they even draft Bouknight to begin with?  They've got a log-jam with young, talented back court players.  Im struggling to find a scenario where Bouk gets any significant run anytime soon unless someone gets injured.

During the offseason, the rotation was set up to be:
PG - Ball - Ish
SG - Terry - Bouk
SF - Gordon - Oubre
PF - Miles - PJ/McD
C - Plumlee - PJ

Right now the rotation is:
PG - Ball - Ish
SG - Oubre - Martin
SF - Gordon - Martin/McD
PF - Miles - McD
C - Plumlee - Richards

No one during the offseason thought we would be getting quality minutes from all 3 of Martin, McD and Richards.. im nervous to even point out that Martin has taken a jump up especially on his Defense and 3ball.. he is a career 27% 3pt shooter and is connecting at 50% right now.. he did a great job of locking up Harden during the Nets game..

McD right now - is shooting 70% from 3pt land.. and Richards has come in while Plumlee gets some air, and the defense hasn't fallen off a cliff - he looks like a serviceable NBA center..

All that to say - Bouknight was supposed come into the Monk role but with the way Martin is playing - he is not needed right now.. if Martin was playing like he was at the end of last year, I'm sure Bouk would be pushing for minutes..

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
