Ben McLemore says he expects to interview with the Bobcats tonight.

 

Bobcats have interviewed Gonzaga 7-footer Kelly Olynyk, who figures to go no higher than 11th. Trade-back scenario?

 

 

Bobcats have interviewed Michael Carter-Williams, the 6-6 point guard from Syracuse. He models himself after Jason Kidd.

 

 

Carter-Williams would give Bobcats a bigger alternative at the point. But he's a poor jump-shooter. They already have plenty of those.

 

 

Otto Porter has interviewed with Charlotte, Phoenix and OKC. Says he looks at Cleveland, Phoenix and Orlando as being the best fit.

Olynyk is a scrub who has bust written all over him. Would rather have McRoberts starting up front than him. 

 

MCW seems like a guy who will need proper tutelage and some time to develop. Bobcats don't have that time. They need to draft a few guys that can come in immediately and make some sort of an impact. Trey Burke, Anthony Bennett, Nerlens Noel, etc. 

 

I think Richard Howell would be an excellent pick in the second round. He'd immediately be the best rebounder on the team.

I see how their Diabolical Plan is coming together.  We trade back this year and draft either a 7 footer who will get abused down low or a pg who can't score at all.  We tank next season and end up with the first 2 picks in 2014.  We pick Andrew Wiggins #1 and Jabari Parker #2.  We automatically become the greatest team ever assembled as both are supposed to be the next Lebron.  We also change our name to the Charlotte Hornets beginning in the 2014-15 season. 

 

Or the Lakers don't make the playoffs next season since Kobe will be hurt and David Stern rigs the lottery and Andrew Wiggins ends up in LA.

is it sad that scenario 2 seems more legit?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
