I'm not too down about it, we wouldn't have did much in the playoffs anyway I don't think. Not with Jax/TT having injury problems.

I think we could be in an OK position to move into the future. We lost Wallace, which hurt, but we picked up some picks, cap relief, and Cunningham (whom has been impressive).

The Kwame Brown pickup turned out to be awesome, he played solid for us, it was worth the chance.

Diaw needs traded or something, he can be really amazing sometimes but then stink it up for a week or two. We need more consistency. It's time to move away from him.

I think Jax is here till his contract runs out, I don't know who would want him, if we can get some quality for him I'd be game to trade him.

TT needs to get healthy, and he needs to be our starting PF, I hope this happens next year.

D.J. improved, but I think we still need more out of him. I have hope.

I think the Shaun Livingston pick-up has been decent too.

I've been really excited about Henderson's development. I think he could be the face of our franchise. His defense is already top-notch, if he can drop 20+ points a night he'll be a force.

Not everything was bad this year, and honestly if we started out with Silas at coach we'd probably be in the playoffs. Let's hope MJ/Silas make some good moves this off-season and we improve.

Our season has been over for some time. We really need to cash in our draft picks this year. We can't afford to be having bad draft picks. We are in rebuilding mode (which a lot of people wanted) and really I don't expect us to make the playoffs next year either. We have to be willing to wait.

this team wasn't gonna do anything in the playoffs healthy...they dam sure wouldn't have done anything with jack, livingston, and TT banged up...time to tank and look forward to the draft...jordan has to get these picks right this year...no more setting the team back with poor drafting...although, henderson is looking like a pretty solid pick now so maybe he is turning the corner with his drafting skills...nah!

just get it done jordan!!!

Unfortunately, NO's win over Houston locks them into the playoffs and our draft pick from them continues to slide down...somewhere around 20-21 right now although it could move up to 19 (18th is the very best it could be which isn't likely).

Still, two first round picks (as long as they're used right) would go a long way to turning the Bobcats in the right direction. Who knows you might even be able to package Jackson with something to grab another draft pick. The Cats might be able to grab Terrence Jones for the wing with their first pick if he slides just a couple of spots. Then you could package Jackson with the later first round pick to move up and grab a guy like Donatas Motiejunas or Jan Vesley down low. While PG was a question mark at the beginning of the season I think DJ has pretty much locked that down. As an outside observer I see the Cats biggest needs as SF and C which this draft has a lot of talent in. If the Cats aren't sold on DJ though they could always grab Brandon Knight....

I even think, with gerald wallace, jax, dj, thomas, etc we would have been lucky to win one game in the playoffs..and that is now what jordan is about obviously. Addition through subtraction. This is a transitional phase that is needed to take the next step in a few years.

need to get rid of jackson for anything, and get some value from Diaw. I feel like the Celtics could have used Diaw instead of Green.....man if we had gotten Perkins somehow I would have been ecstatic

Yeah that would have been nice. But that would have never happened because Jeff Green has way more value than Diaw.

As far as the draft goes I think Center, Small Forward, and Point Guard are our needs. I think Center is our most pressing but don't know much about these international guys, who seem to be dominating the Center position this year. I like JaJuan Johnson but don't think he is worth where we'll pick.

I am not trying to knock your opinion, but I do disagree that we are okay to move forward into the future.

1) Look around at the eastern conference, there teams with superstars surrounded by stars or very good role players. These teams will find the one player to play a role. The NJ nets are on the rise with All-Star Williams, and Lopez, Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta, Miami, NY are all going to be tough teams to compete with going into the future. Boston should start declining, but they still have pierce, rondo, green so they will not decline that much.

2) Honestly, we’ve had some young guys step up and play good this season but honestly they are coming off the bench or are a 4th option on some of these other eastern conference teams… That’s not going to take us to being relevant.

3) As I said at this time last year we are stuck in mediocrity until we can get a superstar here to build around. OKC, and Chicago got there’s by drafting at the top of the draft. We are not bad enough to be in position to land a franchise superstar player as long as we keep finishing around #10. Also the draft this year is not deep, and it is very weak IMO. Drafting around #10 and somewhere in the 20’s were not likely to get some game changing player who is going to make much difference. It’s also not realistic to expect top FA to want to come here. They want to go to a winning franchise, not to try and build one by themselves. Even Atlanta who has been improving and a city a lot of players have houses in cannot attract top FA from outside the team. It’s also my opinion CP3 will not come here. He’s a competitor and wants to win… He will probably want to go somewhere that he is not the only or main option. If that’s the case he could just stay in NO where he’s the man.

4) So staying this course I could see us competing for 7 and 8 seeds most years, but nothing that will take us to relevance.

18th is still very possible, They play at the Grizzlies Sunday.

    • Per PFF: 1. CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee Volunteers McCoy's medical evaluations will be critical, but based on his measurables and 2024 tape, he profiles as a first-round talent with shutdown potential in press-man coverage. 2. CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State Sun Devils Abney's lack of length and top-tier athleticism may limit him to zone schemes, but his competitiveness and run-defense mentality make him a valuable rotational defensive back with starter potential. 3. CB Keionte Scott, Miami (FL) Hurricanes Scott is a tone-setter in run defense with a physical mentality. His zone coverage is adequate, but man coverage limitations may restrict his role. 4. WR Skyler Bell, Connecticut Huskies Bell looked uncoverable at times against his level of competition in his final season and, despite below-average size and athleticism, produced like a top-100 prospect as a productive slot receiver. 5. WR Bryce Lance, North Dakota State Bison Lance dominated FCS competition as a versatile “X” receiver. He moves well for his size and pairs that with reliable contested-catch production, giving him a strong case as an early Day 3 pick with the potential to develop into a contributing NFL receiver. 6. ED Joshua Josephs, Tennessee Volunteers Josephs has an appealing blend of size and explosiveness but must improve his technique and anticipation to reach his potential. 7. ED Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State Nittany Lions Dennis-Sutton projects best as a 3-4 defensive end with some 4-3 flexibility. His length and size are clear strengths, though his agility in space is more limited. With ascending play, he could be drafted higher than his current tape suggests. 8. DI Gracen Halton, Oklahoma Sooners Halton is an undersized, versatile defensive lineman who wins with quickness, effort and movement skills. His lack of strength can be an issue, but he fits well in multiple or movement-based fronts. 9. HB Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas Razorbacks Washington brings alluring size, straight-line speed and yards-after-contact potential as a power back, but also noticeably good vision and footwork to be a potential early-down back in a committee in a man- or gap-scheme run game. 10. WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana Hoosiers Sarratt may profile as a below-average athlete for an NFL “X” receiver, but there is still plenty to like in his game. His strong hands, coordination and determination at the catch point — combined with his constant competitiveness — give him starter potential as an outside WR2 in offenses that value jump-ball opportunities. 11. WR Deion Burks, Oklahoma Sooners Burks' size and production do not clearly point to a future NFL contributor, but his athleticism and strength make him difficult to dismiss. He offers intriguing upside as an explosive slot receiver, though he may not fit every scheme. 12. DI Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State Seminoles Jackson is a massive, powerful defensive tackle with imposing physical traits. When his hand usage is right, he can be dominant, but inconsistency in technique and processing limits his impact. He remains a high-upside prospect. 13. C Connor Lew, Auburn Tigers Lew is a technically sound center with excellent leverage, balance and posture. His consistent fundamentals allow him to win positioning battles, though he can struggle against top-end power due to his lighter build. His upside is high given his age and technique. 14. LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh Panthers Louis is an undersized linebacker who projects best as a versatile space defender. In the right role, he can be an impact nickel player thanks to his explosiveness and coverage ability. 15. S Kamari Ramsey, USC Trojans Ramsey provides versatility with the ability to play both safety spots and the slot, particularly in two-high looks. His lighter build and good — but not elite — athleticism cap his ceiling. 16. CB Chandler Rivers, Duke Blue Devils Rivers logged 3,186 defensive snaps across four seasons at Duke and allowed just one touchdown in coverage in 2025, with a sub-85.0 passer rating when targeted for the third straight year. He earned a 90.7 PFF grade in 2024 before taking a step back in 2025. Over the past three seasons, he has been flagged just four times while playing more than 70% of his snaps on the outside. 17. C Sam Hecht, Kansas State Wildcats Hecht delivered a strong 2025 campaign, earning an 80.3 PFF overall grade that ranked fourth among centers. He brings a balanced profile, ranking 10th in PFF run-blocking grade (77.7) while holding up adequately in pass protection. Across 759 snaps, he allowed just seven pressures, with zero sacks and zero quarterback hits, and committed no penalties. 18. CB Devin Moore, Florida Gators Moore is an appealing Day 2 prospect with a strong blend of length, speed and ball skills for press-man coverage, though his injury history could impact his draft position. 19. G Jalen Farmer, Kentucky Wildcats Farmer put together a solid but unspectacular 2025 season, earning a 69.8 PFF overall grade that ranked 93rd among guards. His best work came in pass protection, where his 72.4 PFF pass-blocking grade ranked 256th, while his 67.4 run-blocking grade ranked 113th. Across 818 snaps, he allowed 14 pressures, including three sacks and no quarterback hits, and committed one penalty. 20. ED LT Overton, Alabama Crimson Tide Overton fits best as a 3-4 defensive end with inside-out versatility. He can contribute in a 4-3 as a power end, but his lack of bend and stride length limits his ability to consistently threaten the edge. 21. QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers Nussmeier brings NFL bloodlines and a polished, foundational approach to the position, traits that fuel his confidence as a vertical pocket passer. However, his average arm strength and below-average stature could create challenges for his aggressive, gunslinging style at the next level. 22. DI Rayshaun Benny, Michigan Wolverines Benny earned a 79.3 PFF grade in 2025, ranking 62nd among 887 qualifying interior defenders. He posted a 68.5 pass-rush grade (161st) and an 83.5 run-defense grade (35th). His production leaned toward run defense, with a clear disparity between phases. 23. S Genesis Smith, Arizona Wildcats Smith has intriguing size and athletic traits for a single-high role, but inconsistency with physicality and play strength limits his reliability. 24. HB Jonah Coleman, Washington Huskies Coleman may not have the flashy athleticism of a fan-favorite RB1, but his game is efficient, powerful and translatable to NFL success, specifically behind zone-blocking schemes where he can gain momentum and one-cut into rushing lanes. He also brings plus third-down reliability as a receiver and pass protector. 25. LB Keyshaun Elliott, Arizona State Sun Devils Elliott has shown flashes as a downhill player, with effectiveness as a run defender and blitzer, but his below-average frame helps explain his limitations in coverage. He earned PFF grades of 67.8 in 2024 and 67.5 in 2025, which reflect a steady but unspectacular profile. His struggles in coverage may limit his role at the next level, though he still offers some starting upside in the right situation. 26. S Zakee Wheatley, Penn State Nittany Lions Wheatley is a long, springy athlete best suited for single-high roles. His slender build can be exposed in the box, but he offers strong range and coverage ability in space. 27. CB Malik Muhammad, Texas Longhorns Muhammad is a decorated cornerback from one of the nation's best secondaries, and his size and pedigree point to starting potential at the next level, particularly in a zone-oriented scheme. He earned PFF grades of 78.5 in 2023, 71.7 in 2024 and 70.8 in 2025. His lighter frame and limited disruptiveness remain concerns and may factor into evaluations despite the overall profile. 28. TE Michael Trigg, Baylor Bears Trigg may have one of the widest ranges of outcomes in the 2026 class. At his best, his vertical athleticism and contested-catch ability suggest top-50 potential, but inconsistencies with technique and focus create volatility in his projection. 29. DI Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati Bearcats Corleone, known as “The Godfather,” was one of the most dominant run defenders in 2022, using his size and strength to control the line of scrimmage. His performance has declined in recent seasons, and his 2024 medical history adds some concern. He offers rare quickness for a nose tackle and can control blockers despite shorter arms, though his pass-rush impact remains limited. He projects as a traditional 3-4 nose tackle. 30. T Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M Aggies Crownover stands out for his massive frame at 6-foot-7 and 319 pounds with over 35-inch arms, which should earn him a look at the next level. However, he must translate those physical traits more consistently in pass protection to reach his potential. He earned a 58.4 pass-blocking grade in 2025 and allowed two sacks, two hits and 23 hurries across 428 pass-blocking snaps. 31. ED Anthony Lucas, USC Trojans Lucas has an NFL-ready frame and good overall athleticism for his size, but he does not consistently win quickly enough to project as a full-time edge rusher. His length and strength give him versatility across the front in odd schemes. 32. LB Deontae Lawson, Alabama Crimson Tide Lawson is undersized but experienced and quick. He projects as a rotational linebacker with some starting potential. 33. DI Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana Lions Proctor, No. 111 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an unusual profile given his size and level of competition, but his explosiveness and pass-rushing ability stand out. His 2025 production supports that evaluation, as he earned an 86.5 PFF grade and generated 39 pressures, including nine sacks, four hits and 26 hurries. His performance against LSU in particular highlights his upside and reinforces his case as a potential late-round value. 34. CB Will Lee III, Texas A&M Aggies Lee, No. 114 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an intriguing developmental profile, as his size, length and leaping ability translate to strong ball skills. He earned a 66.5 PFF grade in 2025 after a stronger 76.2 mark in 2023, and he recorded eight pass breakups in each of the past two seasons. His run defense, tackling and penalty discipline remain areas for improvement, but the physical tools and ball production point to late-round value. 35. G Billy Schrauth, Notre Dame Fighting Irish Schrauth’s career included injury setbacks, but his play on the field showed a high level of performance for Notre Dame. He earned an 82.7 pass-blocking grade and a 73.1 run-blocking grade in 2025, and he did not allow a sack or a hit while surrendering just two hurries across 213 pass-blocking snaps. His game features strong pad level, a firm anchor in pass protection and good grip strength, though balance and foot speed present some limitations. The overall profile supports projection as a starting-caliber interior lineman. 36. WR Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State Bulldogs Thompson’s elite speed and big-play ability will draw interest, but his below-average size and inconsistent contested-catch rate complicate his projection. He ran a 4.26 40-yard dash, which ranks in the 100th percentile at the position, along with a 2.53-second 20-yard split in the 93rd percentile. In 2025, he caught 57 of 87 targets for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 2.77 yards per route run and 4.3 yards after the catch per reception
