No Anthony Davis For Charlotte, Now What?

The dream is dead. This team is as low in the NBA food chain as you can get. Aside from a total makeover and name change (If Benson makes it so) how is MJ going to save this franchise?

Anthony Davis would have covered up some of the fundamental flaws this team has (no superstar) but now they have to make this #2 pick. Who should it be?

I'm still in the Drummond camp since we still need a center. Beal isn't better than Hendo nor is MKG. We have plenty of bodies at PF so Robinson isn't a need.

I'd hate to be MJ this week. It's put up or shut up time. He may have to pay for the only thing(Hornets nickname) that may jump start this flat lining franchise. Is he willing to cut the check?

that's basically like taking May and Felton. But I do think Marshall is better than Felton

Maybe but Drummond and Marshall are much better than May/Felton.

Drummond is boom/bust with high risk reward. Marshall may be one if the best PG that came out of UNC. I believe he will be better than Ty Lawson.

I don't know if I'd take a shot on Marshall. I'm a UNC fan myself, but i feel he's too slow to guard a majority of the PGs in the NBA. I also don't think he'll be better than Lawson. Lawson is about to be a star in the league. Everything is starting to click for him

This garbage is hilarious. Prior to the tournament, it wasn't even a slam dunk that Anthony Davis was going to be the first overall pick in his own draft class and now people are acting like we missed out on LeBron or Durant. It makes zero sense. Not saying that Davis will not be a good professional, he will, but don't act like he's a game changer when we don't even know if dude can score at the next level with any kind of consistency. The gap between picks 1, 2, and 3 are razor thin. We're going to get a damn good player regardless.

All we can do now is wait. Cho has proven to be a methodical GM that has drafted very well and can put together steals in trades.

@Vagrant is right in that Davis had a bullish stock in the last few months. Remember, not too long ago there was a 'Suck for Drummond' thread. Then he kind of disappeared. There really is no right or wrong with the first 3 picks. I will admit I was furious when we lost out on Davis, but having slept on it, and thinking as a logical fan of the Bobcats, we have a lot of options. A trade with Portland is a possibility. There is the Cho connection AND we have their first rounder next year. MKG really isn't a bad consolation prize either.

Listening to Dan Patrick right now w/ Anthony Davis being interviewed

1. Davis said it was a Charlotte hornets hat he was wearing

2. Grew up a bulls & mj fan

3. His family is upset, especially his mother, that he will not be playing in Charlotte. He has many friends here( how he got the hornets hat) and has family here. Wanted to play for MJ.

4. Dan Patrick said it sounded like Davis was dissapointed he won't be playing for his idol in Charlotte

Man this has got to make it "sting" even more. What could of been.

PS like I said if you are a fan of the rebrand, not getting Davis was probably the best thing to happen for us.

Give me Davis over the re-brand 7 days out of the week.

Hell, Kobe made it clear he wanted to play in a big market, maybe Davis will make it clear he wants to play in Charlotte and we broker a deal? I know, I know. Dream in one hand and sh*t in another.

MKG, Beal, or Robinson

Drummond looked like an un-touchable, but has been playing well late. He has all the talent in the world, but I'm not too sure if he is motivated.

I personally want MKG. Bobcats need a couple things, two of them being: SF and toughness. This guy provides both.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
