Bobcats rarely draft BIG early

they've drafted 6 gaurds to 13 bigs. I don't get your point.

But anyways, this isn't the year to draft a big. There is no big worth taking early. Even if Zeller is there. He will be an average NBA player. We have to stop drafting NBA players. IF McClemore or Shabazz is there, then we have to take one. Those are the only two guys that are legit scorers that have super star potential. Get a big in free agency or trade. No need to draft them.

well, i dont know about you, but I dont consider the SF position a "BIG"

Morrison, Dudley, MKG, Taylor are not "BIGs" - shoot, Derrick Brown wasn't a "BIG" imho, but i still put him under the PFs

Don't know if you actually watch UCLA but there is no guarantee that Baz is going to be a superstar or anything close. He has Harrison Barnes syndrome. Baz was hyped up to much and hasn't lived up to the hype. McLemore on the other hand #DoWant

yeah, i agree- he fits the bill for what Kemba needs- a guy who you can pair with an attacking PG and knock down the shot without the ball first.. good defense, nice size

but i think if we don't address the frontcourt with a trade/draft pick, we are foolish

Kemba is a drive first point guard so if you give him an asset to kick out to (like McLemore), Kemba becomes much more dangerous because then the other guard is forced to stay on McLemore in stead of helping out on the drive against Kemba.

Just my two cents

Right now they aren't having to help off the guards anyway. The screen roll is usually being trapped by the screener's defender and the guy guarding the other big drops down into the lane to take away the roll. The guys guarding the other wing players are staying home with their men.

Getting our screen and roll to work better is a matter of us having bad bigs right now, not a lack of shooters or scorers.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
