Exhibition Game 1: vs Hawks

Recommended Posts

my observations from the game:

- kemba didn't shoot it well but made big time plays down the stretch just like he did in college...he has supreme confidence in himself regardless of how he's been playing

- augustin looked rough...turnovers, missed 2 wide open threes...struggles to get to the rim and when he does he has trouble finishing

- tyrus thomas loves to shoot that mid-range jumper but that's about all he can do offensively...he really needs to work on some post moves

- boris was alright...knocked some three's down and made some nice plays around the basket...a decent night for him

- derrick brown cannot dribble a basketball but he is pretty good at put back dunks

- DJ white is gonna be a nice bench player for us

- henderson's jumper looked pretty solid...i wanna see him drive to the basket more

- overall, it was sloppy but it was the first preseason game and the bobcats didn't have maggette or biyombo

Yeah his midrange shot is great. It's that way for a few years. That elbow is his sweet spot.

Yeah he could use some help in the post but damn he got so skinny not sure how he's gonna body down low. He'll beat more people off the dribble and with his athleticism than backing someone down.

We need DJ to play well...the better he plays, his value goes up. I think we have a keeper in Kemba. As people said about Cam Newton, Kemba just has "it." Hes clutch, a winner, and might be one of the smallest guys on the court, but his game is ala Iverson IMO. Hes just a rook so dont laugh at me yet with that comparison.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
