Bobcats Draft Needs

Since the Cats lost tonite they maintain their first round pick from someone out west (i think denver). anyway, what do ya'll think are the bobcats biggest needs? do you think they could fulfill their needs through the draft? if so who, and if not by what other means? Just curious, all the mock drafts don't seem to take "needs" into consideration, at least the mock drafts I've stumbled upon around the internet. IMO, im looking at a scoring guard or a true center. Okafor is considered a smaller center, who's natural position is PF, and we don't have a scorer at the SG position. Raja being a lockdown defender. Any ideas/thoughts?

p.s. I saw some draft boards, on ESPN and others, having us taking Steph Curry, Tyreke Evans, Demar Rozan (sp), Brett Mullins, and even Gerald Henderson.

We need another shut down defender, the defense just wasn't there on a consistent basis this year.

Considering the fact the Bobcats were in the Top 10 in scoring defense, defense might not be the biggest factor. What the Bobcats need is another big man because right now its Okafor, Diaw as the main producers with Diop and Howard coming off the bench. If the Bobcats got another big man that could score down low coming off the bench, it would be huge to take the load off of Diaw and Okafor.

Gonna say it agian, wouldn't Blake Griffen be an instant help, and a franshise player we could build around?

I like college Steph Curry, but I do not think that NBA Steph Curry will turn many heads.

Also, I hope that Alexis has gained some weight and gotten bulked up with the Sean May diet.

Does Felton stay??? That could be a position we need to lock up and consider if he does not stay.

If the same admin was still in place, just think.... next year we could have Tyler Hansbrough! haha

a) we don't need a franchise player.

B) I don't think Griffin will amount to a great NBA player, I see him getting pushed around by bigger guys at the NBA level

c) Griffin is gonna get picked first anyway so it's a moot point

d) We need to be drafting needs at this point and not first available. SG is a more pressing need than another big

i personally would love alexis to fill out and be a big producer and mature into a solid player down low. But i would think sg would be the biggest need. The only problem is that ESPN basketball analysts, like tim legler are calling this draft "the weakest draft in thirty years." Maybe we could find a diamond in the rough....or maybe not.

That's what I was referring to, a big guy down low who can dominate defensively with rebounds and shot blocks and produce in the paint. I think Felton should definitely stay, and he and DJ will only continue to get better. Unfortunately the franchise was set back with the Sam Vincent season but we are back in the right direction. Though if Alexis fills out and produces, then my point is moot. But yeah, like everyone has stated, a SG who could come off the bench and score would be great.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Did I personally insult you?  Hmmmm I thought I made a general statement.   It's a damn shame you took it personally.   I've read more than enough of your posts to know you should take your own advice.  Anyways, no hard feelings.  May I say one more thing? Oh hell, why am I asking you? 🤣🤣   One of the great things about being a fan of the NFL, is watching players develop.  Every year,  there are players whom make it that nobody saw coming.  Then there are those whom everyone thought was sure fire winners, fail.  I enjoy watching players develop, and grow into players that we love and admire.  It's part of the enjoyment of watching the game.  Seems that is lost in today's NFL where everyone wants instant success and gratification.     I do apologize if you took anything I've said personally.  It's just a message board.
