Anthony Davis Hate?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
