Hendo and DJ are OK. However, neither are top notch players.

I still think that passing on Lopez for DJ (when we desperately needed a big) was a bad move.

I just don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to draft....hope they prove me wrong.

It became public knowledge after Larry Brown was fired that MJ was lobbying for and wanted to draft Brook Lopez, but Larry wanted DJ..so you can't blame him for that.

No, but both are producing about consistently with their draft position. So MJ might have hit a couple of singles with those guys.

Really draft picks haven't been put into a good position to succeed in Charlotte.

You had the Bickerstaff years where there wasn't much veteran leadership. Then the Sam Vincent debacle. Then LB came in and refuses to play young guys.

Now Ammo was going to be a failure regardless of what club he went to. But I would say that MJ has been at least acceptable as the GM when it comes to the draft in recent years.

He still gets absolutely reamed every time he makes a trade.

I don't really see wither Hendo or DJ playing above their draft position.....they were lottery picks. I guess you think lottery picks shoudl come off the bench.

Well DJ and Hendo are both starters.

Of the 11 players picked in front of Hendo in 2009, only 5 are starters in the NBA. Griffin, Evans, Curry, Derozan, and Jennings.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
