Projected 9th pick... Who will it be

The Bobcats have taken a hit in the past few weeks with a few guys deciding to return to school in lieu of opting for the NBA. With the projected 9th pick it was a very realistic possibility that someone like Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight (still hasn't declared draft or not) could slip to the Bobcats.

With speculation that Harrison Barnes will be returning to school, and the announcements of Perry Jones & Jared Sullinger it appears like our chances of getting an impact player are slimming everyday.

Who is a realistic shot? I don't think Jimmer is the answer in Charlotte.

We don't need a PG, because I honestly think we will sign CP3. So we then need to draft a C which leaves us with Kanter or Valanciunas. I think we will be able to get Kanter. We also need a really good back up small forward. So with our second pick in the first round we draft Jordan Hamilton, the small forward from Texas. Then with our final pick we need a decent back up shooting guard so we get David Lighty from Ohio State.

Imagine

C- Enes Kanter, Kwame Brown, D.J. White

PF- Tyrus Thomas, Boris Diaw, Dante Cunningham

SF- Stephen Jackson, Jordan Hamilton, Dominic McGuire

SG- Gerald Henderson, David Lighty, Matt Carroll

PG- Chris Paul, D.J. Augustin, Shawn Livingston

This looks like a playoff team to me.

I don't think Stephen Jackson will be with this team in 2 years. If he his, his game will definitely regress.

I love Kemba but, just playing devils advocate, what do we do with DJ. Kemba is shooting guard in a PG body. There is no way he'll be able to play SG on the NBA level. Like CP879 said, I think center is more of a position of concern. But I have no idea about these international players.

The good thing is we aren't locked into this spot and we can all hope for a top 3 pick.

Yeah just got done watching video of Bismack Biyambo. He's an athletic freak. I would compare his game (not necessarily his stature) to DeAndre Jordan. He has a great wingspan that allows him to make up for his 6'9" height. His only downside is his offense. His offensive repertoire to me looks like it's based of his athleticism. From the vids I've seen he's scoring with dunks. He's definitely a defensive player but could develop a down low game. His athleticism is really nice though. Maybe with our second pick we can snag him.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
