The Bobcats have a glutton of Guards that are going to get playing time in Kemba and Henderson, too much money in them to draft over them right now. Especially with Henderson turning it on late last season. The Bobcats need an offensive threat in the post to pair with Bismsack for the future. Take the high reward guy early in the draft and take a SF with the 31 pick and at least have a young team that can grow to respectability with good coaching. It'll take a year or two, but they should be making the playoffs with the right moves in a few seasons,

We have a few guards, but who can actually play? Carroll, Higgins, Williams? Not the answer. I think we'll try to part way with DJ this offseason or before the trade deadline next year. Kemba is still an experiment who we hope will live up to his college days. As I said it plently of times, Henderson is not the answer for us at SG. It seems like I'm the only one who think Henderson is pretty bad. And I'll stay by my opinion. Henderson is at best a player who comes off the bench. The only reason why Henderson turned it up late last season was bc he got more minutes. Being a lottery pick, I was hoping Henderson was better than that.

I'll take a Beal or MKG to play a SG infront of Henderson. The high reward guy could also be that bust you dont want.

I don't see us drafting a SG because we have Henderson. Even though he or Lamb would be be better than Henderson. I think we may take someone like Will Barton or Darius Miller with the 31st pick. I think it will come down to MKG or Barnes

Henderson can play SF.

I bleed carolina blue as some of you on here may know, but I gotta say man Henderson has been a pleasant surprise. He's getting better each year.

Sadly, if the bobcats want to make any moves, other than Augustin (which I know many of us would not miss), Gerald really is the only guy of any value on the roster. Typical bobcats move would be to keep Augustin, and trade Henderson for a second round draft pick that they will waste on a foreign player.

Uconn hasnt produce many stars recently, so much more of hyped good college prospects. Especially the big men who have come from Uconn. Okafor and recently Thabeet been major busts. Drummond look like he could also be another big man from Uconn who'll bust in the pro. He doesnt have the mentality to play hard every night. As big as he is compared to other players, he should be dominating in college and rebounding every ball. You can coach skills for improvement, but not mental aspect imo.

Once in a while a big man comes by and make it happen in the NBA and will dominate for your team. The last big man to come out was Howard, and that's a while back. Yes shooters do grow on trees unlike a big man, but look at most teams that are in the playoffs right now. Why are they winning? The answer is they have guards and forwards who can easily put the ball in the basket. "SHOOTERS" We have no offense right now. The reason to why we're losing games. We need that Durant, Westbrook, or Wade that will help put in the basket for us. Right now we have none.

We have Biyombo and Mullens at the moment where we can experiment with for next season. Yes, Mullens is not the best and both of them are not the "big men" you're looking for, but it seems like Cho wanna use those two for now. I'll take a shooter and wait for Noel next year, even if his potential is not a big as Drummond.

First, Okafor has not been a bust. It was one of the first mistakes the bobcats made by basically giving him away to NO. Okafor has been a starter since entering league. IMHO, trading Okafor was basically the first domino to fall in this massive shitstorm the bobcats management has created.

If you follow college hoops, Drummond should send off all sorts of red flags if you're a fan. You want to talk about not living up to potential? Look at Drummond. Dude doesn't care and has questionable character. It's a huge reach to take him second overall. I'd rather have his team mate Jeremy Lamb.

Drummond has the size to play in the league, but he's going to need:

1. Coaching - something the bobcats don't have

2. Patience - something the bobcats don't have

3. A point guard - something the bobcats don't have

If they draft him, they sure as hell better get a guy like Kendall Marshall who just wants to feed him the rock all game.

Drummond in no way resembles,plays, or is projected like Thabeet.

This kid only played 1 year college basketball Thabeet played 3 or 4 years and stayed the same.

Thabeet is slow and has no offensive game. Drummond is fast can jump out the gym and has some offensive skills.

Drummond is way more athletic and resembles Deandra Jordan more then Thabeet.

Center from UCONN who never quite lived up to his potential and will be over-drafted. Need I say more?

Biyombo will never develop any sort of legitimate NBA offensive game. It's not his game. Which is okay if the coaches realize that and don't try to make him into something he isn't.

The best, most realistic option for Biyombo is that the he will develop into a defensive enforcer off the bench that can go inside and do the dirty work for 20 minutes a game. He's built like a damn rhino so if he can develop a mean streak he could be fun to watch, but if you're expecting this guy to get you 15 and 10 a game...you are high on drugs

Mullens, lol. I know the guy is raw and would have been a senior at Ohio State this year, but come on man! He's another one of those guys that could only start on the bobcats. He'd be a rotational player every where else.

When I was watching the draft lottery the other night, GM Cho said that Mullens was one of the guys they planned to build around. LOL! And yall wonder why they only won 7 games last year!!!!!

Thabeet was a colossal bust. Okafor has been a steady, solid player. Drummond just rubs me the wrong way. I don't care for his attitude.

I agree on Oak. Highly underrated player in the Association.

Yeah man I always like Okafor when he was here as a player.

I used to work at a bar in college and like 4-5 years ago we had a booth set up at the Bartender's Ball at the Blake hotel downtown. If you don't know what the Bartender's Ball is, it's basically a semi-formal all you can drink binger for 5 hours. $70 bucks but well worth it. Top shelf liquor, hot ass sluts walking around, etc...

Anyway, Oak came over to our booth and wanted some pussy bitchboy drink like a skinny girl margarita or daquari or something gay like that and was offended that we couldn't acommodate him and was kinda a dick about it. Unfortunately, I've heard similar stuff about him, too.

No real point to that second story but I agree he has been a solid player in the league

Everything you said is right and I agree with you. But I'll rather take MKG this year, groom him with Kemba and Biyombo for the future. Hes a safer pick then Drummond at no.2. And wait next year for a guy like Nerlens Noel. Noel may not be as great as Drummond, but a safer big man pick than Drummond. You don't know what you'll get with Drummond. Either a Bynum or a Kwame. I'm sure MJ is hesitating on taking a guy like Drummond at no.2 right now.

Yes Okafor is not exactly a so-called bust, but with Howard being in this draft he had made Okafor looks close to being one. Okafor was a solid player for us who'll get that double-double but never really live up to the hype in college. At no.2 he shouldve been our franchise player. He was more a solid player who'll just do the dirty work but wouldnt effect the game like Howard.

And I didn't say I wanted Drummond at no.2, if thats what you thought I said. Hes a high risk, high reward guy who IMO, is not worth the no.2. If MJ and Cho wants him, trade down and see if hes there we we pick. His toughness goes in question for me.

Drummond man just seems like he doesn't care. I don't blame him for leaving UCONN b/c of the sh1t that's about to happen there but he just seems like he isn't willing to work for anything.

I could see him being successful in a place like maybe Washington or Cleveland where they have established point guards, or even sacramento where he could play off Cousins for a few seasons....but if he came to Charlotte man it would be a disaster for everyone involved.

Honestly, and we all know this, they need to trade down and get a big man and a PG. Easier said than done though. Look how hard it was for the wolves to trade out of that spot last season and I would be salivating for a player like Derrick Williams in this draft. Wolves we're basically giving away that pick and had no takers. This is a deep draft, but it's a lot of good players with one great player.

Exactly. Perfecto.

You said everything right.

Only way for Drummond to work is if we could trade with Portland bc they're in love with a MKG, Beal, etc. and hopefully Drummond is there at 6th. Take him there and Marshall at 11th.

If we draft Drummond we will have the shittiest offensive post play in the NBA.

Even if we do happen to draft the next Dwight Howard, until you can stretch the floor it doesn't really matter.

Some of you are ready to already throw Bismack under the bus despite the fact that he is not even 20 years old yet and had never played truly competitive basketball and then the same people are turning around and wanting to draft guys that are very similar players (Drummond), if we draft a post player it should be someone who can pay the 4 spot like Sullinger, Robinson, Zeller, or Henson.

No you can draft a 5 and move Bismack to the 4 where he will have better match ups night in and night out.

    • Per PFF: 1. CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee Volunteers McCoy's medical evaluations will be critical, but based on his measurables and 2024 tape, he profiles as a first-round talent with shutdown potential in press-man coverage. 2. CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State Sun Devils Abney's lack of length and top-tier athleticism may limit him to zone schemes, but his competitiveness and run-defense mentality make him a valuable rotational defensive back with starter potential. 3. CB Keionte Scott, Miami (FL) Hurricanes Scott is a tone-setter in run defense with a physical mentality. His zone coverage is adequate, but man coverage limitations may restrict his role. 4. WR Skyler Bell, Connecticut Huskies Bell looked uncoverable at times against his level of competition in his final season and, despite below-average size and athleticism, produced like a top-100 prospect as a productive slot receiver. 5. WR Bryce Lance, North Dakota State Bison Lance dominated FCS competition as a versatile “X” receiver. He moves well for his size and pairs that with reliable contested-catch production, giving him a strong case as an early Day 3 pick with the potential to develop into a contributing NFL receiver. 6. ED Joshua Josephs, Tennessee Volunteers Josephs has an appealing blend of size and explosiveness but must improve his technique and anticipation to reach his potential. 7. ED Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State Nittany Lions Dennis-Sutton projects best as a 3-4 defensive end with some 4-3 flexibility. His length and size are clear strengths, though his agility in space is more limited. With ascending play, he could be drafted higher than his current tape suggests. 8. DI Gracen Halton, Oklahoma Sooners Halton is an undersized, versatile defensive lineman who wins with quickness, effort and movement skills. His lack of strength can be an issue, but he fits well in multiple or movement-based fronts. 9. HB Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas Razorbacks Washington brings alluring size, straight-line speed and yards-after-contact potential as a power back, but also noticeably good vision and footwork to be a potential early-down back in a committee in a man- or gap-scheme run game. 10. WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana Hoosiers Sarratt may profile as a below-average athlete for an NFL “X” receiver, but there is still plenty to like in his game. His strong hands, coordination and determination at the catch point — combined with his constant competitiveness — give him starter potential as an outside WR2 in offenses that value jump-ball opportunities. 11. WR Deion Burks, Oklahoma Sooners Burks' size and production do not clearly point to a future NFL contributor, but his athleticism and strength make him difficult to dismiss. He offers intriguing upside as an explosive slot receiver, though he may not fit every scheme. 12. DI Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State Seminoles Jackson is a massive, powerful defensive tackle with imposing physical traits. When his hand usage is right, he can be dominant, but inconsistency in technique and processing limits his impact. He remains a high-upside prospect. 13. C Connor Lew, Auburn Tigers Lew is a technically sound center with excellent leverage, balance and posture. His consistent fundamentals allow him to win positioning battles, though he can struggle against top-end power due to his lighter build. His upside is high given his age and technique. 14. LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh Panthers Louis is an undersized linebacker who projects best as a versatile space defender. In the right role, he can be an impact nickel player thanks to his explosiveness and coverage ability. 15. S Kamari Ramsey, USC Trojans Ramsey provides versatility with the ability to play both safety spots and the slot, particularly in two-high looks. His lighter build and good — but not elite — athleticism cap his ceiling. 16. CB Chandler Rivers, Duke Blue Devils Rivers logged 3,186 defensive snaps across four seasons at Duke and allowed just one touchdown in coverage in 2025, with a sub-85.0 passer rating when targeted for the third straight year. He earned a 90.7 PFF grade in 2024 before taking a step back in 2025. Over the past three seasons, he has been flagged just four times while playing more than 70% of his snaps on the outside. 17. C Sam Hecht, Kansas State Wildcats Hecht delivered a strong 2025 campaign, earning an 80.3 PFF overall grade that ranked fourth among centers. He brings a balanced profile, ranking 10th in PFF run-blocking grade (77.7) while holding up adequately in pass protection. Across 759 snaps, he allowed just seven pressures, with zero sacks and zero quarterback hits, and committed no penalties. 18. CB Devin Moore, Florida Gators Moore is an appealing Day 2 prospect with a strong blend of length, speed and ball skills for press-man coverage, though his injury history could impact his draft position. 19. G Jalen Farmer, Kentucky Wildcats Farmer put together a solid but unspectacular 2025 season, earning a 69.8 PFF overall grade that ranked 93rd among guards. His best work came in pass protection, where his 72.4 PFF pass-blocking grade ranked 256th, while his 67.4 run-blocking grade ranked 113th. Across 818 snaps, he allowed 14 pressures, including three sacks and no quarterback hits, and committed one penalty. 20. ED LT Overton, Alabama Crimson Tide Overton fits best as a 3-4 defensive end with inside-out versatility. He can contribute in a 4-3 as a power end, but his lack of bend and stride length limits his ability to consistently threaten the edge. 21. QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers Nussmeier brings NFL bloodlines and a polished, foundational approach to the position, traits that fuel his confidence as a vertical pocket passer. However, his average arm strength and below-average stature could create challenges for his aggressive, gunslinging style at the next level. 22. DI Rayshaun Benny, Michigan Wolverines Benny earned a 79.3 PFF grade in 2025, ranking 62nd among 887 qualifying interior defenders. He posted a 68.5 pass-rush grade (161st) and an 83.5 run-defense grade (35th). His production leaned toward run defense, with a clear disparity between phases. 23. S Genesis Smith, Arizona Wildcats Smith has intriguing size and athletic traits for a single-high role, but inconsistency with physicality and play strength limits his reliability. 24. HB Jonah Coleman, Washington Huskies Coleman may not have the flashy athleticism of a fan-favorite RB1, but his game is efficient, powerful and translatable to NFL success, specifically behind zone-blocking schemes where he can gain momentum and one-cut into rushing lanes. He also brings plus third-down reliability as a receiver and pass protector. 25. LB Keyshaun Elliott, Arizona State Sun Devils Elliott has shown flashes as a downhill player, with effectiveness as a run defender and blitzer, but his below-average frame helps explain his limitations in coverage. He earned PFF grades of 67.8 in 2024 and 67.5 in 2025, which reflect a steady but unspectacular profile. His struggles in coverage may limit his role at the next level, though he still offers some starting upside in the right situation. 26. S Zakee Wheatley, Penn State Nittany Lions Wheatley is a long, springy athlete best suited for single-high roles. His slender build can be exposed in the box, but he offers strong range and coverage ability in space. 27. CB Malik Muhammad, Texas Longhorns Muhammad is a decorated cornerback from one of the nation's best secondaries, and his size and pedigree point to starting potential at the next level, particularly in a zone-oriented scheme. He earned PFF grades of 78.5 in 2023, 71.7 in 2024 and 70.8 in 2025. His lighter frame and limited disruptiveness remain concerns and may factor into evaluations despite the overall profile. 28. TE Michael Trigg, Baylor Bears Trigg may have one of the widest ranges of outcomes in the 2026 class. At his best, his vertical athleticism and contested-catch ability suggest top-50 potential, but inconsistencies with technique and focus create volatility in his projection. 29. DI Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati Bearcats Corleone, known as “The Godfather,” was one of the most dominant run defenders in 2022, using his size and strength to control the line of scrimmage. His performance has declined in recent seasons, and his 2024 medical history adds some concern. He offers rare quickness for a nose tackle and can control blockers despite shorter arms, though his pass-rush impact remains limited. He projects as a traditional 3-4 nose tackle. 30. T Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M Aggies Crownover stands out for his massive frame at 6-foot-7 and 319 pounds with over 35-inch arms, which should earn him a look at the next level. However, he must translate those physical traits more consistently in pass protection to reach his potential. He earned a 58.4 pass-blocking grade in 2025 and allowed two sacks, two hits and 23 hurries across 428 pass-blocking snaps. 31. ED Anthony Lucas, USC Trojans Lucas has an NFL-ready frame and good overall athleticism for his size, but he does not consistently win quickly enough to project as a full-time edge rusher. His length and strength give him versatility across the front in odd schemes. 32. LB Deontae Lawson, Alabama Crimson Tide Lawson is undersized but experienced and quick. He projects as a rotational linebacker with some starting potential. 33. DI Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana Lions Proctor, No. 111 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an unusual profile given his size and level of competition, but his explosiveness and pass-rushing ability stand out. His 2025 production supports that evaluation, as he earned an 86.5 PFF grade and generated 39 pressures, including nine sacks, four hits and 26 hurries. His performance against LSU in particular highlights his upside and reinforces his case as a potential late-round value. 34. CB Will Lee III, Texas A&M Aggies Lee, No. 114 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an intriguing developmental profile, as his size, length and leaping ability translate to strong ball skills. He earned a 66.5 PFF grade in 2025 after a stronger 76.2 mark in 2023, and he recorded eight pass breakups in each of the past two seasons. His run defense, tackling and penalty discipline remain areas for improvement, but the physical tools and ball production point to late-round value. 35. G Billy Schrauth, Notre Dame Fighting Irish Schrauth’s career included injury setbacks, but his play on the field showed a high level of performance for Notre Dame. He earned an 82.7 pass-blocking grade and a 73.1 run-blocking grade in 2025, and he did not allow a sack or a hit while surrendering just two hurries across 213 pass-blocking snaps. His game features strong pad level, a firm anchor in pass protection and good grip strength, though balance and foot speed present some limitations. The overall profile supports projection as a starting-caliber interior lineman. 36. WR Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State Bulldogs Thompson’s elite speed and big-play ability will draw interest, but his below-average size and inconsistent contested-catch rate complicate his projection. He ran a 4.26 40-yard dash, which ranks in the 100th percentile at the position, along with a 2.53-second 20-yard split in the 93rd percentile. In 2025, he caught 57 of 87 targets for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 2.77 yards per route run and 4.3 yards after the catch per reception
