Until Ickey refines his technique and learns to be less aggressive pass blocking.... This is a fine line.... It doesn't make him a bust he's still the LT of the future... and an all pro guard this season.

I’m not ready to anoint him an All-Pro guard this year. What I am confident in is he will be serviceable there which is an upgrade from last year.

All braun, no feet. Bust

Wayyyyy to early to say that. He is a rookie and it's the preseason. Give it at least a little time. It's comparable to at every job you have ever had have you came in the first or second day and been the company MVP? At least give him time to settle in and learn a little bit. When it all clicks so should the feet as he stops thinking as much and begins to react on instinct. That fact that he has ridiculous braun is just an added bonus. If he has problems like that consistently a couple years from now then I would say okay there's an issue but so early to make that assumption just yet I believe.

Yeah the “homers” dictated who we drafted. Icky will be fine. This is why preseason exists. To develop and scout players in actual games. 

Just like Vernon Butler or Derek Brown, right?

Panthers made a mistake drafting him to play LT. Plug him in at guard and be done with it. Front office just needs to own their mistake for drafting an NFL guard #6 overall.

The Panthers are loaded with over valued 1st round picks.

    • Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.
    • Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying 
    • I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
