Davis is a great college player but I don't think he has the size to be an NBA player. That said, I also wouldn't be surprised to see him get at least one NBA contract as a 3 and D guy coming off the bench because the NBA always wants scoring.

He's absolutely not an NBA player but I could see him having a long successful international career.

Well, we gave 'em hell for 30 minutes. I think we have to be happy with that. That's the new state of Carolina basketball. From competing for titles to hoping to compete with top teams and maybe get lucky and sneak into the tourney. That's the new reality. Hubert has turned us into NCSU.

This game is also showing the downside of the modern game, too many 3s. If you're knocking them down, the game is too easy. If you're missing and keep jacking them up, you shoot yourself out of the game.

Been trending this way for years. Growing up college basketball was by far and away my favorite sport. I've been pretty Carolina only for over a decade now with my college basketball watching. I used to NEVER miss a Carolina basketball game and in recent years I always miss several games. It's just less of a priority for me now. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably a decade. The sport is just a shadow of itself now. That's why Armando Bacot is my favorite player in recent years. The type of old school hard nosed big man that just doesn't really exist in the modern game.

Bill Laimbeer would be banned from the modern NBA lol.  It's terrible.  Bring back the 90s rules.

I remember Phil Jackson saying 15 years ago that Michael Jordan would've averaged 50 a game in the league at that point and the game has gotten exponentially softer since then.

I am still disappointed in the Hubert extension.  The team is mostly a three point shooting offense and the defense has no ingenuity at times.  It feels like he doesn’t understand his or the other team’s strengths or weaknesses much at all.  Frustrating cuz there is some talent but he is out recruited consistently too

It was an idiotic move. He should've been on the hot seat and gets a big extension instead.

Meanwhile, a year after going to the Final Four NCSU fired Kevin Keatts.

That was a fluke run just like Hubert’s run to the Championship game his first year.  Granted State has sucked balls for decades so the 1st real success they had enough lol

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
