Boooooooooooooooooooooooo. James Borrego reincarnated. 

Yeah I hear this completely. This is my big concern. If someone would like to sell me on this hire I would be happy to reward them with pie.

I don't really get the Borrego comparison besides both being "culture building" guys. Borrego is a Popovich guy through and through and Atkinson a D'antoni guy and his former players all seem to love him especially the young ones. Durant and Kyrie are weirdos and when they inevitably didnt win immediately he was always going to be the scapegoat imo.

The guy actually knows defense and has done great work developing guards. He also took a Deangelo Russel lead Nets to the playoffs. Atkinson is nothing like JB. Do your research before spouting off dumb poo or just regurgitating things you read on Twitter.

Basically, he is just Bames Jorrego. Love his mustache. Looks familiar. :+)

Also feel very concerned about this hire. I didn’t like how his tenure ended in Brooklyn and it was made known by both Irving and Durant that they didn’t like Atkinson’s culture. Atkinson runs a tight ship and while that’s nice, there has to be some give and take, especially with our young group. If there isn’t any give and take, I can see this going south real quickly. If Atkinson tries to essentially put his style of play on guys like LaMelo and Bridges then they’ll be gone before you know it.

Would have preferred D’Antoni with an assistant coach specially brought in for defense.

The one thing that I do like is that he’s a good player developer but the problem is, if you can’t work with stars then it doesn’t matter how good you are at developing players because you need stars to win in the NBA.

Essentially, Atkinson sounds like he’d be an elite assistant coach or a great college coach because he can focus on development. However, I have my doubts about him leading a group that has strong personalities and a particular type of way that they like to play. If Atkinson tries to slow the style of play down that our team is accustomed to then this will be a disaster.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)
