The Official Draft Thomas Robinson Bandwagon Thread

Ok the draft will be here before we know it. Consensus is, everyone wants Anthony Davis. After watching video etc. Davis does not appear to have an NBA body. He looks fragile. I seriously doubt he will be able to bulk up and still be quick on his feet. The guy has huge bust/injury prone written all over him.

With that said, enter Thomas Robinson. This guy has an NBA body. Very powerful and explosive. Watching highlights you would think he was Lebron. Bobcats cant afford to blow this pick. Robinson makes the most sense.

im still on davis, but if we cant get him im still tied on mkg and robinson, have to go back and rewatch film to decide between the 2, but both are good kids with alot of talent. both also play with full effort and fundamentals which is a key for me in NBA evaluations.

Robinson scares me a bit. He lacks a very consistent jumper, has shaky ball handling, and might be a little undersized at PF. He reminds me of a Kenneth Faried meets Brandon Bass. Honestly, those types of players don't warrant a top 5 pick. If the 'Cats don't go Davis I might lean towards MKG. MKG and Kawai Leonard have similar games and after seeing how well Kawai's game has translated to the pros I think it might boost MKG's draft stock.

just my opinion...

Davis #1 if we get it. All arguments against that notion shall immediately be ignored. As far as picks 2-6, I'm not really sold on anyone in particular. However, I'm not so high on MKG as everyone else. What makes him so special other than that he hustles a lot, has a great motor and a knack of getting to the rim? Reminds me of a more athletic Corey Brewer.

amazing defender and freak athlete at the age of 19. he has TONS of room to improve and is said to be an extremely hard worker. he also plays within his limits and doesn't force shots, team-first kind of player. brings a lot of energy.

and, yeah... GREAT at getting to the rim.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
