Through 10 minutes, MKG is in double figures scoring, is dominating the game, and topped it off by bringing the ball up of the fast break and throwing an alley to fellow rookie Jeff Taylor, causing Sacto to call a timeout.

I was skeptical of MKG because of the offensive questions but I've been hopeful for the best since we drafted him. I was still excited by the potential but worried about how he would stack up to other rookies.

He's dominating the game. Absolutely dominating. Also, Dunlap's philosophy is clear and obvious in these young guys' play. It is awesome.

We won all around this offseason from the looks of these opening minutes - Dunlap, MKG, and Taylor are difference makers.

Who else wants some of this kool-aid.

I'm with you. MKG looks explosive and Taylor is going to be a sharpshooter for us...

missed the first half, but the stream announcers are saying great things about the Kidd, but from what I've witnessed from 4:58 in the second Q and on I'm digging this Bobcats fast paced system, and Mully will DEFINITELY benefit from this system due to his near limtless range on the offensive end. He's got 2-3 pointers right now.

This is an excellent outing for Dunlap as well.

I told all yall to jump on his bandwagon early before the draft. Where was yall? lol

but Kidd is damn good.

And Dunlaps sure is getting these kids playing hard. I think everyone is tired of losing, and everyone just wanna start winning. Playing with a winning attitude is a good start.

FA and next year draft will helps this team go a long way. We drafted the right guy for the first time in Bobcats' history in MKG, and we sure got a hell of steal in Taylor.

Yeah, just about every play he had in the 1st half was highlight reel worthy.

And let's not discount Kemba's performance either. Dunlap is making a difference there as well. Kemba had 12 pts and 5 asts in the first half and is super-aggressive.

I love everything I'm seeing.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
