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.

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the fist pumping I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
