Yeah he was never going to be the real starter. They just wanted to get a good look at him. Again this is what our staff is doing this preseason for the most part. 

So what is a fake starter? He was brought in to contribute to the team and was a miss. Now Ickey is playing like dog poo, Chark is injured, we missed on McCall, Miles Sanders is also injured. Now the team comes out and say that it's going to be a three year process, meanwhile we don't have a stockpile of picks like you'd hope a team who just drafted a franchise QB would have. 

So no, this isn't "getting a look at him". This is a whiff. This has been the Panthers since Tepper took over. Get used to it.

He started him during a PREseason game (the same games Burns and Houston aren’t playing) to get a good look at him to see if he can play the NT well enough to have a roster spot. Do you know how this works?

Huddle: "This team is trash...this defense sucks...teams just march down the field on us.....least talented roster......."

Also Huddle: "Wtf are we THINKING cutting Undrafted FA perennial All-Pro Marquan McCall?!?!??  This will go down in franchise history as the worst move we've ever made"

I'm starting to think a lot of people here just choose to adopt whatever's the contrarian position at any given point.

They do, thinking it makes them look smart and edgy when in reality it accomplishes the opposite.

      Honestly I haven no idea what I would have even done last night, Edgecomb was the most realistic option to improve our team

      He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette.

      Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
