I'll preface this by saying I'm no NBA guru or follow it like the NFL and am not an NC State fan.. At all.

But I watch this kid and he's damn impressive. Good size, great scorer and a skillset that looks like will translate well and early in the league.

So if anyone has any opinions on him or wants to break him down feel free to in here.

We need offense and the kid brings it. He's one of those forward tweeners which may sway people away but if you're looking for points on the board, he's a viable option IMO.

What say you?

I thought he was great in college last year and I think he will transition well into the NBA.  He needs to improve his 3 point shot to be more than a role player at the next level, and unfortunately his lack of an outside shot makes him a bad fit with the Hornets roster right now.

 

If he's there at 24 I would be glad to take him, but I dont think he will be there and it doesnt make sense to trade up for a guy who wont fit the team right now

And lol at acting like there is much of a difference between the 2 spot and 3.

There is... one is a front court player and one is a back-court player.

The three is most likely more versatile because he can guard three positions on the floor.

Not to mention the way you play the game is completely different, you don't necessarily have to be a good shooter to be a successful small forward (i.e. Luol Deng and even LBJ early in his career) because your body is big enough where you can take it to the rack and even play down low.

However, you have to be a good shooter in order to play the two spot because you have to be able to stretch the floor so teams can't help out on your post players.

That's actually a pretty big difference.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
