Lillard or Davis will be the best player out this draft class. I knew Lillard was gonna come into the league and ball. Ain't no one taking that Rookie of the Year from him.

Props to the Black Falcon, tho. Wish we would've been able to win a ship with him as a Heel, but it's all gravy. So far, he's doing pretty darn well playing with the big dogs in the NBA. Had to go back and look at that dunk again

Don't get stupid. A Davis, Lillard, and Mkg are still better.

Not to mention Peckovic isn't know for being a shot blocker or good defender.

Nice play but don't get carried away.

The only thing A Davis has done is get injured. How about that? A rail thin PF keeps getting hurt. Lillard has been great, I'll give you that one. As a Cats fan I like MKG & think he's playing good, but he hasn't been any better than Barnes. And he still can't even shoot the damn ball.

Barnes had 10 & 11 tonight as an encore to 25 & 12. He is playing great. You do realize he is still only 20 years old, right? And he plays with a pair of guards who are gonna jack at least 40 shots a game.

Harrison Barnes is a 6' 8 220lb SF who is muscular, athletic, & has as sweet a jumpshot as anybody. The knock on him was he can shoot & score but he can't take it to the hole.

Barnes came full speed down the lane, cocked the ball behind his head, slammed it in the dude's face knocking him back, then gave him a stare down. That dude happens to be a 7ft 300lb Yugoslavian, & arguably the most BAMF in the entire NBA.

But I understand as a Duke fan you could never give #40 any credit. He spurned your coach to play for Roy, & less than a month into his NBA career has already topped any Duke-NBA highlight. Ever.

As a Bcats fan you would notice that even thoe Barnes is suppose to be the better scorer. Him and MKG are avg. the same amount of points per game. And while Barnes gets plays run for him. MKG gets his points off of effort plays. When his jumper gets better and he gets more plays run for him to score. He will be the better player.

Anthony may be injured but we both know he is a better player.

Like I said nice play but again Peckovic isn't know for being s good defender.

If that isn't #1 on top plays, I fuging hate to see what is. That is an absolute monster of a dunk. I know there were a TON of great grabs and runs tonight in football, but goddamn. That dunk was something to behold. And the bench reaction just made it better. Whenever you see more than just hands going up and yelling (they were basically falling over) from pros who have seen some poo, you know you just did something incredible. Skill aside, just based on sheer size, Barnes should NOT be able to do that. The kid, once he dials it in and realizes how good he is and can be, will be an absolute stud at this level.

too bad Barnes couldn't do that poo for North Carolina. My least favorite UNC player of all time. What a dissapointment

FAIL

Ford, Wallace, Stackhouse, Carter, Jamison, & many others failed to win a title at UNC. And they were all at UNC as long, if not longer, & all surrounded by better teams.

Barnes averaged 15 & 5 as a freshman, 17 & 6 during his 2nd year. Not many heels have done that.

Hansbrough averaged 18 & 7 as a freshman, & he's arguably the greatest heel ever.

Jordan averaged 13 & 4 as a freshman. His 2nd year stats were only slightly better than Harrison's.

As for the first part to your idiotic statement.....

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      By strato · Posted

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By strato · Posted

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
