Bobcats coach Paul Silas said of rookie Kemba Walker and current starting PG

D.J. Augustin, "Now we have to find a way to play them both together."

"In practice they're going to be going at each other," Silas said. We're projecting D.J. Augustin as the starter, but as beat writer Rick Bonnell noted, competition for minutes has undermined Augustin's confidence in the past.

I personally think this will work because Augustin is more of a distributor in my opinion and Walker is more of a scorer.

I know we arent Dallas but they created a lot of matchup problems when they played Kidd and Terry together(also Barea with one of those two created problems) so for some stretches, I wouldnt mind it.

Augustin, Walker, Hendo/Maggette, Thomas, Biyombo. Despite what some think, that lineup would have no trouble scoring and teams would have to rely on the 3s against us.

While that may be true, Kemba might have the ball more.

Kemba is better with the ball in his hands while DJ can spot up.

Yeah if we have that small lineup, a match-up zone might work best.

Before I post, let me say this: I am a HUGE DJ Augustin fan and have been since he got here. With that being said, I think Kemba will be at least as good, if not better, as a facilitator than DJ. He averaged 5.1 assists per game his sophomore season...and that was without great scorers to help. Last year he was called on to score, and while leading the nation in that category, he still dished out 4.5 assists per game. I see him being a 20 ppg, 7.5 apg guy when he takes over PG.

Those are Chris Paul type numbers.

:banghead:

Kemba played 41 games last year and only had 7 or more assists in 9 of those games despite always having the ball in his hands.

Guys, Kemba had zero (0) assists in the Championship game. He isn't a point guard.

      BREAKING: Panthers signing a new QB

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.

      A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

      If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
