So the Bobcats drafted a hustle player with the #2 pick last year

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Not reactionary, it’s just that the bobcats need help with their entire roster. They need more than just hustle players they need talent. But I get what your saying








His jumper is broke tho

It's at least possible to improve a jumper.. I just think it's funny that people are acting like there were a bunch of "superstars" that the bobcats could've picked at #2 ..

Barnes shoots 3's cracka, MKG doesn't. Barnes shares the court with 2 elite players at their position. MKG is Charlotte's franchise player and he'll never be an offensive option. MKG is a wing player that was drafted 2nd overall and he shoots 22% from 3. That is fukking horrible, rookie or not. Harrison Barnes is getting better as the season is ending, he's gonna be a starter for a playoff team while MKG will be the franchise player at the wing position that is a worse shooter from outside than Biyombo.

Barnes shoots 35% from 3 and 44% from the field.. hardly impressive. Everyone knew MKG wasn't a 3-point shooter.. that isn't why they drafted him jackass. How the fukk can MKG shoot worse than Biyombo who hasn't taken a single 3 pointer? Sharing the court with elite players only makes it easier for a jump shooter dude. The only reason he's on a playoff team and has your obnoxious ass stanning him is because he was drafted in a lower spot. Again, they're putting up nearly identical stats with the same amount of shot attempts per game. Plus MKG's defense shyts all over Harrison Barnes.

How do you know this? At this time last year Lillard was a combo guard senior from a small conference who was only projected to go high because there was zero depth at PG. In fact, both Lillard and Burke RIGHT NOW have similar draft stocks. Again, Lillard didn't solidify a top 10 selection until he blew everyone away at the combine. If Burke does the same thing, then what (and in Burke's case if he blows everyone away he could go as high as #2 )

Stockpiling assets in that manner is tricky, because in reality, if you're hoarding at the same position, if I'm the other GM, I know I won't have to pay as much to get him because I know deep down you don't wanna break camp with both of them on the team. It's like driving a new car fresh out of the lot. The second you do, the value depreciates. The reason why I'm saying this is because at some point you have to say to yourself, "this is the guy I'm rolling with and for better or worse, this is who I'm putting the cart behind." Continuing to replace a position you claim you're set at just reeks of indecisiveness.

Small conference or not dude was unstoppable. I never claimed to be a scout or GM but those that do get paid to do that should be able to recognize the best player available, that is my only point. If you constantly pass on the best player available either you or your director of scouting needs to be fired which is why I believe Kahn has naked pictures of someone in the Timberwolves organization.

Hence my point, if you feel comfortable taking a slightly above average defender 2nd overall then that's your thing. Or you just on MKG dikk because he went to Kentucky. I'm willing to bet at least 4 guys that were drafted after MKG will make an allstar roster before MKG does. If that's the case Charlotte takes the L yet again.

True, i feel bad for the bobcats really they just so terrible

I think they should draft a big man because they still have kemba who could still turn out to be something. I don't think bismark biyombo strikes fear into anyone.

Maybe Zeller?

Considering you're moving the goalposts again to a team that has nothing to do with this discussion, I see you've run out of excuses. BPA at 2 last year was between MKG, Drummond, or Thomas Robinson with Barnes being a dark horse.

That said, passing up the BPA to fill a need is exactly what you thought the Wolves shoulda did in 2011 with Williams, yet the Bobcats draft BPA AND fill a need and you're criticizing it in favor of hoarding talent at a particular spot they have filled?

Boxed. Don't get a hernia moving those goalposts.

Right now MKG and Barnes are COMPARABLE players. I'm not going to say which one is better at this point. They both have similar stats. MKG is a tireless worker and will improve his game and his potential as a top defender in the NBA is there as well. MKG would thrive much more if he was on a better team, he is a MONSTER in transition, if he was on a team that could actually play defense to where there were a lot of fast breaks he'd be putting up better numbers. MKG on the nuggets would be very fun to watch.

BPA is whoever the GM identifies as being the BPA. Just because other draft pundits and scouting sites come up with a consensus that don't mean you have to bite. That kind of thinking is what gets you Hasheem Thabeet. Obviously Williams was not the BPA fam.

biyombo was a colossal failure as a pick imo. need to get rid of him, maybe they can get Nerlens in this draft. They just need so many pieces.. they need to get rid of damn near their entire roster except MKG, Kemba (who has been playing well.. I can't speak on his defense tho), and Jeff Taylor. What a pathetic disappointment Tyrus Thomas turned into.

How do you miss on all these guys?? Seriously if i am a Bobcats fan they better be giving tickets away for free. And to make it worse i seriously think they are going to fall in love with Trey Burke or some other guard and pick him...

Maybe he and Kemba can take turns shooting?..

Nerlens makes sense to me, pick him and suck for one more year because hes injured and then pick another good player next year.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

Number 2 overall pick tho..

so what?

they dont always pan out to be superstars....

theres #1 picks that havent panned out....

shyt is all a crap shoot anyway...you never know how these dudes gonna end up

Supposedly the Bobcats will try to shop that pick no matter what, even if it's at #1 .

seriously, I mean thats just colossal mismanagement.. Biyombo showed nothing other than defense.. can't believe he was picked so high. Nerlens can replace is defense/rebounding easy and is infinitely better offensively. They really don't need anymore small guards. They should try for some scoring wings the draft after next or they may need to eventually get rid of Kemba and get a real PG like Andrew Harrison. Their whole roster is just so shytty.

that'd make sense too as long as they get something worth it.

this thread shows the power of hindsight

Charlotte were stuck.

Everyone knew MKG wasnt a franchise player, but no one thought any of the players were franchise types that were drafted after him except Drummond. And Drummond had red flags around him.

If you put MKG on a team with a passing point guard, he would look better.
