Guys, chill down. Before we know it, Detroit, Cleveland, and NYK will all be on top of us.

 

We'll hold three picks in the 1st round: no.8, Detroit, and Portland.

 

 

 

Prospects that I am considering with Charlotte's pick: Aaron Gordon, Noah Vonleh, and Zach LaVine.
Prospects that I am considering with Detroit's pick: James Young, Gary Harris, Tyler Ennis, and Glenn Robinson.
Prospects that I am considering with Portland's pick: Kyle Anderson, Semaj Christon, P.J. Hairston, Mitch McGary, and Isaiah Austin.

Right now Detroit and NY are 1/2 game out of 8th place with a game in hand. One of those teams will likely get the 8th playoff spot over Charlotte. 

 

 

The Bobcats have this upcoming stretch of games. 

 

@Denver, @LAL, @Phoenix, @GS, Vs. SA, Vs. Dallas, @Brooklyn, @ Detroit, Vs. Detroit.  Outside of Home Against Detroit and at LAL, all of those might just be losses.

We caught a bad break (well us in the tank crowd) @ Denver, no way we would have beat them if Lawson and Robinson had been healthy, if we make the playoffs then MJ should fire himself.

The race for 8 heats up!  Bobcats currently leading the way, but the Pistons have been coming on strong since firing their coach and the Cavs are joining the race after winning 4 straight (there has even been an Anthony Bennett signing).  And then theres the Knicks, the most talented and least understood
 
8    Charlotte    23-30
9    Detroit        22-30
10  New York   20-32
11  Cleveland   20-33

So, our pick goes to Chicago if we make the playoffs (top 12 protected) but we essentially keep it if we dont. Detroit keeps their pick if it is in the top 8 (Detroit has the 10th worst record now, so they would have to drop below the Knicks and Cavs to have a shot at keeping it).

Meanwhile, the Knicks have no incentive to tank as they do not own their 1st round pick (traded to the Nuggets in the Melo trade), and the Cavs seem intent on winning after trading for Deng.

Imagine a world where we end up in the lottery with our pick and get Detroit's lottery pick...and both end up being in the top 3. I don't think I could take it. 

 

Right now, the Detroit (Charlotte) hold the 10th pick in the draft. If somehow that pick lands in the top 5, who get the pick? Charlotte or Detroit (Top 8 protected).

Detroit pick is top 8 protected, so if they move up into the top three it goes back to them.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
