Anthony Davis Hate?

So we get the no.1 pick.

I am hearing a ton of Anthony Davis hate and this confuses me.

I think most of it is Tarhell vs Wildcat hate.. ACC fans are such they only watch ACC games and wait for highlights for other teams.

Then they watch one or two tourney games and make judgements about one's total games.

He has a great skill set and has the best anticipation on defense I have seen. He can shoot when willing, has great touch and passing skills. Dominant shotblocker and rebounder. Why would you want any other player?

Simply put as one I saw live he is easily in another stratsophere in this draft. Sure he is skinny..but so are most nba players..and he is only a sophmore. He can develop quickly into a good to above avg offensive player. I think he can be a Kevin Garnett type player sooner than later..we can get a guard or scorer later.

I seriously hope that Tarheel fans are not dumb enough to delude themselves into thinking Barnes, Zeller, or Marshall will be better than Davis. I distinctly remember how many of them told me that Felton would be a better pro than Chris Paul.

I don't think that at all. I do think that if the bobcats don't get the first or second pick, they need to trade down and take KM.

PS Felton should have never been traded away from Charlotte. Bad for both parties.

they'll probably draft Marshall anyways because they love to draft PGs. Unless Barnes is still on the board. No way MJ passes on his boy.

Barnes will be drafted on potential alone. I don't think he'll have the kind of career that he is expecting to have, unless he actually starts caring and shows some heart and hussle on the court. dude can shoot and play when he wants to. That being said, if the Charlotte team wins the lottery and doesn't pick Anthony Davis, they just need to check the entire organization into rehab.

Barnes will be lucky to duplicate a Corey Magette career. I just dont see it..his cap is sean Elliot but Sean Elliot was developed by the time he was a rookie.

Barnes not being able to create his own shot off the dribble is going to kill him and the team that overdrafts him.

Exactly.

This past season REALLY showed Barnes weaknesses in his game. Not a good ball handler and can't create his own shot. I have strong reservations that he will ever be a top flight NBA player.

I am a big UNC fan and would be VERY pissed if we picked him....no matter what our draft position is. He has bust written all over him.

We didn't trade him, he signed with the Knicks as a free agent. He actually was working out well there in D'antoni's system before they shipped him to Denver in the Carmelo trade.

the Bobcats have just never had the Lottery fall their way. They have always missed out on the guy by one pick and blew it bypassing Danny Grainger for May.

Then passing on a few guys for Morrison who was flashing signs of I wont do it in the pros!

Bobcats, or future Hornets will be fine if there is a defined plan. I just dont see the plan if we keep signing journeymen and undersized players at every position.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.

      Goalie an Issue Again?

      By Stumpy · Posted

      When asked if he thought he was close to returning to game action, "When you skate just with the goalie coach, it's tough to understand what your level is. Today, Svech scored on me a couple — probably a bad moment for me. I don't know. I'm probably very far from play if he scores on me." God, I love Kucci!
