Did anyone watch the video of the trade going down? It was rolling around twitter and being laughed at. Kupcheck looked like a senile old man getting finessed out of a lollipop. One of the most unprepared and embarrassing videos I have ever seen. Literally cringe worthy. "We only have two minutes" "hurry and make a deal." Didn't even have a guy like the Panthers evaluating the value of the trade or anything, just an old man guessing. And you can tell they only had one guy in mind b/c that was the only guy Jordan would allow them to take to try to sell seats to some dumb Duke fans that didn't go to Duke. Just like he did w Henderson, Sean Maye, Felton, Vernon Carey, Brandon Wright etc. PLEASE someone tell me I am wrong.

And I hope y'all know the real reason for the trade was Jordan not wanting to pay a lottery pick and save a tiny bit of money lol. And getting the nuggets 20 something ish pick for a lottery pick is insane. I have never seen something so cheap and insane....

The trade is and was horrendously stupid no matter the justification they attempt to appease the fanbase with. But that does not mean Williams was a bad pick or does not have potential. He should be good for us. If you can't enjoy some basketball without bias over your favorite college team getting in the way sports are officially not healthy for you.

Nick Richards> Williams. You are right Williams wasn't a bad pick it was a horrendous pick.....

Go check my history on this forum and the Panthers. I am hardly ever wrong.

Glad you chose this time, then. Jalen Duren had a lower FG % and fewer blocks, and barely averaged more points per game despite taking more shots. 

Offensive Rating:
Duren 112.6
Williams 142

Defensive Rating:
Duren 91.9
Williams 93.2

Blind as a bat.

    • In fairness, I am pretty sure the poster in question is also one of the "Let's sign Cam!" guys too. As if this makes that chapter of this franchise any less painful or would accomplish anything.
    • Wondering if I should take the metra to Solider Field on Sunday.   Was thinking this was going to be a stinker if we were still starting Young of the Shire but it would be fun to check us out.   
    • Agree 100%.  Given the chaos of the past few years, it has been easy to point to the idea of just keeping Wilks.  And I do think he did an admirable job during his time as interim head coach. Still, I have to give Tepper credit for this... I think Canales is a good hire, not only as a head coach & culture builder, but as an innovative play caller. He fits what modern NFL offenses need to do.  Running the ball will always be important.  But as we saw with Bryce (and with most of our QBs/schemes over the past 6 years), if you can't throw the ball effectively (as well as challenge deep), you are not going to succeed as a top team. Canales has not perfect (still questioning the lack of preseason playing time), but guys are getting schemed open in a way I can't remember since Dan Henning designed his offense around Smitty. Canales is putting DJ & XL in positions to make catches.  The Oline is blasting open holes for the RB's more often than not. For a team that has been the epitome of putrid on offense for more seasons than I care to remember, this has been a breath of fresh air!
