I'd take a look.

 

 

 

Our backup PG is outplaying Kemba right now. That's what you want? Sessions is nothing but a BACKUP, so when he's outplaying our starting PG there's def a problem.

 

Kemba has more points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks than Sessions and he is shooting better as well.

I'm going to hold judgement until Jefferson takes the floor. Friday night it looked like we were one player away from being solid. I know it was just the kyrieirvingplusfouraliers but we are a far cry from 2 years ago.

I also haven't been a fan of the team since we were the hornets and figured I'd start again now that we are back

LOL @ Kemba hate.  He's one of the few players we have that looks like a legit NBA player.   I was glad we signed Hendo but my god has he been terrible.  His shot is off like woah and he's forcing things.   We need Al in there but I'm worried about his ankle nagging him for a while.   High draft pick looks in-tact though.

 

We are missing shooters and mainly, a real allstar  I think we have good roll players but not a go-to guy.   

 

And the free throw misses?  Come on.  If we were better at the line we honestly could have had a chance in this game.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
