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.

    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.  
    • A 2 year deal for Coker would be terribly short sighted as I pointed out in another thread the other day. T-Mac will be eligible for an extension after 2 more seasons, and while there is still 2 years to go, he's very much looked like the type of player you extend right away, knowing waiting will only cost more money and take longer before the contract becomes a bargain with rising contracts every year. So if we sign Coker to a 2 year extension, that means we either let Coker walk after those 2 years or we don't extend T-Mac when we should, as I can't see signing both in the same off season much of an option, it was terrible for the Bengals this year. I like doing a 1 year deal for Coker to set his market value with a full season as the #2, and then sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal after that, which also separates Coker and T-Mac's contract years to help keep both around instead of having to choose at some point, like the Bengals should have done. I also think coming to an agreement on a multi year deal right now could be tough, the team will want to pay the rate of his actual production so far and his agent will want to be paid on his potential from his few breakout games, everyone might just be too far apart for a multi year deal.
    • I would love Sonny Styles!.   I don’t think he slips that far.   Get the best OT available at 19.  There is a good chance icky will miss next year and then come back and may switch to guard.
