List of all-time NBA rookies to hit at least 4 threes off the bench in 3 straight games:

1. Malik Monk

Every time I see Monk play, I see the highest potential player on the Hornets including Kemba. I thought this even early in the year. It is sad that Monk didn't get a full rookie year. He is the 2nd best scorer we have and never got PT. Highest ceiling we have. Very excited about the future.

Hey, at least he learned how to play Defense, right? LOLZ.

We can't Draft a point guard, because Monk is clearly getting better at that position. We'll have to Draft a SF or PF in the Draft. Which I'm okay with. 

I must say that I have been impressed with Monk at PG. He has shown a lot of promise in that position. I still don't know what would be better, pairing Monk with a tall PG like Shai Gilgeious-Alexander or pairing him with an athletic SF or PF

I'll say this about Monk... his iso game from his time at UK compared to where it currently is, is quite amazing. 

Monk is showing things that people actually knocked him for in the draft. People originally compared him to Jamal Crawford, but he looks like he could become much more than what Crawford is/was.

I'm really excited about Monk and Hernangomez.

poo, bruh. Bacon has showed promise as well. I'm thinking we keep Monk at PG, and let him grow there. He clearly has a chip on his shoulder. Which is promising.

      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.

      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.
