It depends on what players we get at 9 and 19, or wherever we draft if we trade, but here are some guys I would like to see us grab with the 39th pick:

Ben Hansbrough : Shot 44% from 3 pt range this year. At 6'3 203, he can play both guard positions, and showed strong ball-handling abilities as the primary ball handler this past year. Plays very hard and with a chip on his shoulder. He will probably never be a starter, but could contribute very solid minutes off the bench.

Keith Benson : Could be the center we all hope to get out of this draft. Needs to add size, but has the frame to do so. He was the primary scoring option at Oakland, scoring 18 pts a game on 55% shooting. Also averaged 10 rebounds and almost 4 blocks per game. He is a finesse player, but could turn into a starting center down the road with some muscle gain and solid coaching.

Jon Leur : Another big guy with a solid mid-range shot. Leur could give solid minutes right away. Averaged 18 points and 7 rebounds this past season for Wisconsin. He is a bit more of a banger than Benson, but his ceiling may be a little lower. He will be a top role player in the league one day.

JaJuan Johnson : Johnson is 6'10 220 is a similar player to Benson. He is more of a finesse player with good range on his shot. Averaged 20 pts 9 rebounds and 2 blocks per game last year. Was the primary scorer at Purdue. Needs to work on strength, but works hard on the defensive end. Could become a starting PF one dayk, but more than likely will be a solid role player.

There are a bunch of other guys I think can become good players that might be available at 39: David Lighty, E'twaun Moore, Jon Diebler, Shelvin Mack, Jamie Skeen. Like I've said before, I want to get a scorer and a big man in this draft. I think it would be easier to grab some scorers in the first round, then get a big man like Benson or Leur in the second. I really like Leur because he is a polished player that could contribute right away.

      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 punching the air 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.
