9: Marcus Morris

A few weeks ago I was completely against taking Morris here, but the more highlights I watch the more I come to like him. He seems good at getting offensive rebounds and isn't afraid to go back up with it. I've also seen him operating from the top of the key some and he has a smooth jumper. He could be a nice, versatile player for us.

19: Marshon Brooks or Shelvin Mack

Brooks if he's there, but with how he has been performing as of late I think it's 50/50. We need an energetic scorer coming off the bench to provide a nice backup behind Hendo.

I wouldn't mind a Euro center either or Tristan Thompson at 9. Obviously if Kawhi Leonard is there we grab him but that is highly unlikely. I like Morris's versatility a lot, I didn't know he played like that honestly.

My incredible interest in this draft has me looking up mock drafts on a daily basis. It has become evident to me that beyond the first two picks. Nobody has a clue what is going to happen.

Honestly I would be happy with a plethora of people.

At 9 I would say my top 3 are as follows

1. Kemba Walker (Yes there are mocks out there that say he could fall to us although unlikely)

2. Alec Burks

3. Jordan Hamilton

I honestly don't see whats so great about Marcus Morris and I would be OK with us picking him but I would feel like we missed an opportunity to have something better.

At 19 it goes

1. Bismack Biyombo

2. Marshon Brooks

3. Chris Singleton

4. Nikola Vucevic

Vucevic has been shooting up boards and I personally think he would be a very nice center for us.

There one player that I would just be infuriated with us selecting is Jimmer Fredette. I think he is going to be an absolute scrub in the NBA, feel free to hate.

Rick Bonnell was on Busting Loose with Frank and Moose (WFNZ) yesterday and said the cats really like Singleton (F-FSU), Brooks (G-Prov), and Vucevic (C-USC)..fwiw..Singleton paried with Hendo would make one of the best defensive shooting guard/small forward combo's in the league...

Agreed. Too bad the Bobs would lose most games 70-65 with a lineup featuring Hendo and Singleton. If Boris loses his job to Tyrus and Kwame is still the starter at C, yikes! That team couldn't score!

I agree, but hopefully hendo can build his offensive rep into a viable second option. Marshon brooks makes more sense to me though

Whatever nets us a scorer and bigman. SF and C prefered....

9.1 Kawhi Leonard SF * will probably be off the board

9.2 Chris Singleton SF * im high on him

9.3 Marcus Morris PF * solid ready to contribute right away

9.4 Jordan Hamilton SF * possibly the best scorer in the draft

9.5 Tristan Thompson PF * reminds me of Tyrus Thomas

19.1 Bismack Biyombo PF/C * a steal if he is still here

19.2 Marshon Brooks SG * one of the best scorers in draft

19.3 Kenneth Faried PF/C * hustle, simply put

19.4 Klay Thompson SG * the 3 pt shooter Silas wants

19.5 Nikola Vucevic PF/C * potential, simply put

I'm really warming up to the idea of Chris Singleton at number 9. Singleton is tabbed as the best defensive player in the draft and from what I've read he has a decent offensive game, just had trouble showcasing it in the slow FSU offense. Either way, he could work on his offensive game similar to Hendo.

At 19 I would be happy with Marshon Brooks or Nikola Vucevic. Brooks could be the dynamic scorer we need to build around or Vucevic could be the solid (probably not a superstar but a solid rebounder and scorer) to hold down the C position. If we could only get both somehow...

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
