So we all agree Hendo can't be on the roster this year?

Listen I'm a unc fan subconsciously bc too be honest Idc about college all that much. Just on the better players who are coming to the nba. I honestly dont give 2 $hits where they played ball at. But wen I say I don't value or like Henderson is sure ain't bc he went to duke.

Btw Henderson is wayyyyy better than Felton. Bless y'all for even saying that.

My best friend is a duke fan. He does the same junk. I'll be taking about how and who we should upgrade our roster with. If u mention replacing Henderson or Mcbob I'm an idiot. They are our best players. I'm like c'mon dude really.

Henderson is kinda in a redemption type of scenario for next season to prove everyone wrong. The only way I really wouldn't mind Henderson leaving is if we sign Lance. Mainly bc I think Lance has the 'IT FACTOR'. Otherwise, if Henderson is hitting the gym like the others this off season he is bound to shore up some holes in his game and we have the type of coaches that can help fill those gaps. Two of the biggest motivations to get better is the taste of success and being so pissed off that you want to go out and kick everyone in the balls and prove them wrong. Henderson has both of those types of motivation working in his favor.

The UNC hate is worse. Hornets can't even draft UNC guys without being accused of homerism, when this organization's history shows it values Duke and UConn players just as much, if not even more. The Bobcats missed out on some "better fits" simply because they were avoiding the UNC backlash.

No. Hornets/Bobs have drafted 3 UNC players in their existence and signed another.

I'm not sure the team has ever passed up a chance to bring in a UNC guy because of backlash from the fans.

UNC, Duke, whatever, the biggest mistake the franchise ever made was not drafting that kid from WFU.

Chris Paul or Jeff Teague?

I'm a diehard UNC fan, and I like both Duke guys on our team. It has absolutely nothing to do with Duke, but I hope we save money and not sign McRoberts BC I want to see Zeller and Vonleh get all the minutes McBob would see. Regarding Henderson, he's a very good player, but very inconcistent. If we can sign Lance, I'd be in the crowd to trade Henderson. I don't understand why UNC/Duke bias comes in to play at all. Its about Charlotte making the moves to improve and those two guys are in positions where we have added and are trying to add better players.

I agree, and not all fans have the bias towards players. There are some on Here though that make it so obvious that it gets ridiculous. I am a Duke fan, but I do not want McRoberts back. I am hoping for an upgrade over Henderson, and subsequentle trade of Hendo. I was all for picking PJ at #24, and hope the best for him as a Hornet. Some on here already put him on a pedestal though, and he has yet to play a NBA game. Some will defend Hendo to no end. Some will defend the worst draft in NBA history when Charlotte used 2 lottery picks on Felton and May.

They just drafted Hairston, but yet for years, people have acted like all the Hornets/Bobcats draft is UNC players...because people are morons!

 

The Hornets have had more UConn players (6) than UNC ones, so why don't we always hear about that? Oh yeah, because Michael Jordan went to UNC...and because most people are morons!

 

They've had 3 Duke players, to 5 UNC ones. Wow, I can't believe they've had so many more UNC players than any other team's, including Duke...not. (sarcasm)

 

The Bobcats drafted both May and Felton in one draft, and since then, braindead morons have said "All UNC drafts is UNC players." Braindead morons.

The problem started when it was reported (maybe not accurate) that part of the reason that the Bobs took Felton/May over trading for the pick used on Chris Paul was because management thought picking UNC guys would put butts in the seats.

Thats not the point. It's the way the fans treat players drafted from rival colleges. The point you are making should be directed at people who DONT follow or do not care about Charlotte NBA basketball. Regardless, I've never heard people say Charlotte only drafts UNC players.

Irrelevant. The problem is people are morons, not that UNC overdrafts UNC players, which they don't, regardless of what was reported and whether or not those reports are true. I don't care what people's "perceptions" are. Those people are wrong, and morons.

The point is people who act like UNC is some factory for the Bobcats/Hornets are idiots who use that misconception as a basis for running their mouths and creating "backlash" every time the Bobcats are rumored to be interested in a UNC player.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
