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.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
