Bobcats Projected Starters

PG. Walker | SG Henderson | SF. Kidd-Gilchrist | PF. Mullens | C. Haywood

I watched the Pacers vs Raptors and for those of you who don't know, they are missing Danny Granger. So Gerald Green was inserted into their starting lineup. Hibbert and George are the best players. The key to stopping Hibbert is keeping him out of the paint. If he get's his position down low, it is all over. But he also poses a problem on the defensive side as well. It'd be nice to have Mullens play some center so that we are stretching Hibbert out of the paint, but that leaves us vulnerable on the opposite end when he has to guard Hibbert. And you can't forget about West who is there go-to scorer with Granger out. He single-handedly carried the Pacers late in the game, scoring majority of their baskets.

Their second unit isn't bad either with Augustin, Stephenson, Hansbrough, and Mahinmi. Mahinmi is another 7 footer that will test our bigs.

I think where we can succeed is if we go after Hill and Augustin. Kemba and/or Sessions could have a good game if they play smart but aggressive.

    • It’s a fan message board. Fans are going to debate players. Especially the QB. I hope no one is genuinely upset about any of the dialogue on here. 
    • Teddy Bridgewater was a check down QB….saying that doesn’t mean that he literally can’t and won’t throw downfield in a season.  Bryce Young was never drafted to be big armed downfield passer.  I don’t get those out defending him when it’s pointed out that he just  isn’t that.   And finding a game or two where he goes downfield doesn’t change much.  Because all QBs eventually go downfield.  Just like a Delhomme or Favre will play it safe in some random games.  Doesn’t mean they aren’t gunslingers that got gambling in their DNA. 
    • Yeah, Fitzgerald was smart to sign with the panthers--not sure how many NFL teams were in the Market....I was surprised to see Morgan re-sign Tuttle and Ray--even if Ray's contract is completely unguaranteed--but with Brown, Wharton, Brown III, Robinson, Cam Jackson--maybe Crumedy--Tuttle could be excellent depth--but at DE, not DT, imo.  Once again, it appears that Morgan may have found UDFAs who have a shot making the team--last year, there were 2 who contributed in a meaningful way.  This year, I see CBs Thornton and Reid with a legitimate shot to make the roster.  I also think LB Nomura has a legit shot (Morgan has to love this guy) as well as LB Bam Martin Smith from USC.  Finally, I think one of the safeties will stick. In all, I expect 1-2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 S, 1 OL, 1 K to make this team. Predictions:   CBs Thornton and Reid make the 53-man roster.  LB Tuasivi Nomura makes the 53-man roster as a ST ace and ILB depth OL Michael Tarquin may make the roster to groom as a potential RT replacement for Moton.  Moton, BC, and Nijman are on expiring contracts.  While I like what I am hearing about Kandra, the OG room is very crowded.  Lewis, Hunt, Zavala, Kingston--but he could compete for the 4th G job. S:  Trevian Thomas, Isaac Gifford are probably the front runners, but Jack Henderson from Minnesota might be able to win a S spot as well.  I expect all three will not make the 53, but the darkhorse name to watch is Henderson. Henderson's Pro day: Minnesota DB Jack Henderson had arguably the BEST overall workout of any Safety in this entire draft: 40yd. 4.47 vertical. 40” Broad. 10’8” Shuttle. 4.15 3cone. 6.70 Bench. 12
