(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.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
