A topic that was brought up earlier tonignt was about Myck Kabongo and our PG position by 'me'. The PG position is not a need, but I really believe that we can upgrade the spot. Both Kemba and Sessions have played great so far this season but I just dont see the two as (1) a PG who can take total control of the offense, (2) a game manager, and (3) one who can pick defenses apart. Sessions imo does a better job controlling the game than Kemba. From the look of it, its looking like we're not going to end up with a high pick. Next year class looks very weak as of right now. If we pick near the bottom of the lottery pick (top 12 protected Chicago) I wouldnt mind taking Myck Kabongo. Hes to me is closer to a pure PG as to that he's a very good passer and an overall better PG. Kabongo gets a lot of comparison to Rondo, but he's actually a better shooter/scorer than Rondo when coming out, and he'll eventually get better at it.

I love Kemba and have always been a fan of him since his UCONN days, but I would not be oppose to the possiblity of trading him and having a back court of Sessions/Kabongo and developing Myck into the future PG of this franchise. Kemba lacks the size and sometimes he struggle guarding his opponent. His game is purely based on his speed alone.

I believe a guy like Kabongo can benefit and help MKG into a better offensive player for the future.

MYCK KABONGO PG, TEXAS 6'2" 180lbs

Nominee for worst thread in bobcats forum history.

You don't trade a guy who is becoming a proven asset at a position for a guy who at his best COULD provide a similar impact. Son of a bitch. Come on, man. You should know better than to want to trade our best player for a draft pick. How'd that work out with Wallace?

Kemba is having one of the best seasons in the NBA and you want to trade him?

Sure I wouldn't mind. I love the kid but his size and defense is going to struggles once he start to play against bigger PG.

Sessions game would evolved larger if he was the no.1 PG for this team. Kemba depends on his speed alone. And a lot of the game this year, Sessions set Kemba up for big game. Kemba plays well when both PGs are on the court. Kemba struggled in the begginng of the game last night until Sessions came in and change the pace of them game.

I actually never said that, but thanks for putting words in my mouth. I said that I have an internship with the Panthers. I actually work for the Liberty University football team.

Any who back on topic, no need to change the subject when you get mad.

It shows that even you know that you're wrong.

You really want me to rub that crap at you for a 2nd time?

And remember when you played soccer for a DI college? STFU now

      I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
