With Henderson at the 2..Biz at the 4 I think the 'Cats will take Barnes..though I think they are including the other two players to create interest and force teams to think about trading up.

Unless they think Henderson can move to the 3...

Wishful thinking on my part though. I want no part of Barnes. If they are looking for a 3, why no MKG?

Because he and Henderson are both wings that don't shoot the ball exceptionally well.

You need at least one that does. If you take Beal, then you have a 6'4 SG and a 6'5 SF (Henderson). Barnes is the one that fits the best if you plan on keeping Henderson. If you trade Henderson, then taking either of the other two makes more sense.

Barnes has the skill set to be an absolute stud at the NBA level. Anybody who has seen MKG shoot a basketball & still likes him better needs their head checked.

What skillet? Terrible ball handling and a complete inability to create his own shot don't sound like the skillet of an NBA stud to me.

He is a massively over-rated spot up jump shooter.

If MJ drafts Barnes at #2, he should be run out of Charlittevand the league.

I know what people are TRYING TO SAY when they say that Barnes can't "create his own shot". They mean, he can't dribble the ball well, because they don't mean that he can't create his own shot, or else they are idiots.

What part of one or two dribbles and then pulling up with that fade away in the mid-range isn't "CREATING ONE'S OWN SHOT"?

Of course his mid-range game is "creating your own shot". Jordan was lethal with that mid-range shot. If Barnes keeps hitting that and he hits the 3 pointer, like he can, the rest will eventually come because that's all he has to work on now. He doesn't have to work on homework, or anything else. You expect him to tweak the FIXABLE weaknesses that he currently has.

Love Barnes' "crab dribble" at 2:05, LOL! Check out LeBron's...

Beal is more ready than Barnes. henderson goes to the bench where he belongs...as a swingman scorer.

So with the choices being Beal, Barnes or Robinson why would we not try to get Rudy Gay?!

Even being a max guy he is by far the most talented guy the Bobcats would have and better than any of these rookies.

Rudy Gay is Scottie Pippen. Beal isn't Jordan. Gay's never going to reach his full potential until he gets put on a team as the SECOND GUY beside a SG that is clearly the #1 option on the team. If Gay went somehwere like Atlanta and played beside Joe Johnson, Atlanta would be a much better team.

Jordan never would've achieved as much as he did without Pippen being a guy who did everything good enough but not one thing exceptionally, except maybe his defense. That's what Gay is, or at least should be. He doesn't belong on the Bobcats, and it would be a complete waste of his time and ours to put him on it.

I'd be o with Trobb or Barnes, but Beal at 2, no thanks. I'd rather take Drummond at 2 before Beal. Cats need someone who can put the ball in the basket and that's Barnes or Trobb IMO.

So you're saying Beal can't put the ball in the basket? Last time I checked, Beal was probably the best shooter in this draft.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By frankw · Posted

      I feel like anyone within the Panthers fanbase no matter where they land on Bryce should agree on this. He's a good kid. He's intelligent. But ultimately is he going to ever be the guy to command a locker room? Obviously none of us can say. But I just don't get any alpha vibes from him whatsoever. Is that a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. Here's the thing though. We had the talk of his generational years ahead of his age leadership trait clubbed over our heads for weeks nonstop before the draft. But after seeing someone like Sam Darnold navigate life as a starting QB I think anyone here should be able to acknowledge homerism there are some similarities to Darnold in terms of personality. That is not what we were sold. All of this takes me back to before the draft. I just can't shake the sense that Stroud just rubbed Tepper or someone the wrong way. Was he too confident? Not subservient enough? Did they feel Bryce was more marketable and media savvy? My gut says these things weighed more into the pick than they should have. If not. Stroud more than likely would have been the selection. What's done is done though. I'm just like you though. I want to see some fire from Bryce at some point this season. But I'm expecting to be disappointed considering his first order of business following one of the worst rookie seasons ever was to detach completely and do nothing. As always. Hoping for the best. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer at the end of this post for the Bryce superfans. I want to see him do well. I don't want this to end in the worst case scenario. There now we can be friends!

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Basbear · Posted

      I felt the Cam vibes on the huddle with Bryce, in fact its almost there. Threads that have no mention of young, turn in them.  Only deal is Cam had tons more supporters/nut huggers.  I honestly hated talking Cam with 90% of the huddle, in many eyes he was perfectly accurate with all his throws and if he had a legit great game the true haters were missing in action.   Cam board is now a Bryce board...
