Chad Ford hints at who the Bobcats may take!!!


Recommended Posts

Source: HoopsWorld.com

(Kawhi) Leonard, (Chris) Singleton and (Tristan) Thompson all drew praise from Bobcats sources. I'm told the Bobcats are going to be pretty conservative with the ninth pick. They'll be content with a single or a double and will likely go for a proven prospect who can be an impact player out of the gate, even if that means drafting a player with a bit lower ceiling. In other words, don't expect them to take a swing for the fences with a player like (Bismack) Biyombo or even (Josh) Selby.

Of the group, Leonard and (Kemba) Walker are at the top of their list, but neither player is projected to be on the board at No. 9. That should leave the two Thompsons (Klay and Tristan), Hamilton, Singleton and the Morris twins battling it out to be the ninth pick.

(Kenneth) Faried, Markieff Morris, (Marshon) Brooks and (Nikola) Vucevic are all serious possibilities with the 19th pick.

So from this article and from some other research that I have done, it sounds like the Bobcats have their prospects in this order for the 9th and 19th pick's...

1. Kemba Walker, PG, UCONN (Pro Comparison's: Ty Lawson, Kyle Lowry)

2. Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Diego State (Pro Comparison's: Luol Deng, Gerald Wallace)

3. Klay Thompson, SG/SF, Washington State (Pro Comparison's: Brandon Roy size and ability/ Mike Miller shooting)

4. Tristan Thompson, PF/SF, Texas (Pro Comparison's: Kevin Garnett size/ Andre Iguodala ability)

5. Jordan Hamilton, SF, Texas (Pro Comparison's: Stephen Jackson, Rashard Lewis)

6. Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Kansas (Pro Comparison's: David West, Al Harrington)

7. Markieff Morris, PF, Kansas (Pro Comparison's: Rasheed Wallace, Drew Gooden)

8. Chris Singleton, SF/PF, Florida State (Pro Comparison's: Trevor Ariza, Shawn Marion)

9. Kenneth Faried, PF, Morehead State (Pro Comparison's: Ben Wallace, Udonis Haslem)

10. Marshon Brooks, SG, Providence (Pro Comparison's: Nick Young, Jamal Crawford)

11. Nikola Vucevic, PF/C, USC (Pro Comparison's: Mehmet Okur, Kosta Koufos)

But really:

Drafting Kemba may be appealing but Augustine has been doing well and that's just another small guy being added on a team that needs athleticism don low. Our number one priority should be getting athletic & big at 4 & 5 imo. I don't know why we wouldn't at least try trading down to get Valanciunas or Kanter. I don't think Leonard will be available, but isn't worth a trade and so we're basically looking at Tristan Thompson. Its a tricky position.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
