Projected 9th pick... Who will it be

Recommended Posts

The Bobcats have taken a hit in the past few weeks with a few guys deciding to return to school in lieu of opting for the NBA. With the projected 9th pick it was a very realistic possibility that someone like Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight (still hasn't declared draft or not) could slip to the Bobcats.

With speculation that Harrison Barnes will be returning to school, and the announcements of Perry Jones & Jared Sullinger it appears like our chances of getting an impact player are slimming everyday.

Who is a realistic shot? I don't think Jimmer is the answer in Charlotte.

We don't need a PG, because I honestly think we will sign CP3. So we then need to draft a C which leaves us with Kanter or Valanciunas. I think we will be able to get Kanter. We also need a really good back up small forward. So with our second pick in the first round we draft Jordan Hamilton, the small forward from Texas. Then with our final pick we need a decent back up shooting guard so we get David Lighty from Ohio State.

Imagine

C- Enes Kanter, Kwame Brown, D.J. White

PF- Tyrus Thomas, Boris Diaw, Dante Cunningham

SF- Stephen Jackson, Jordan Hamilton, Dominic McGuire

SG- Gerald Henderson, David Lighty, Matt Carroll

PG- Chris Paul, D.J. Augustin, Shawn Livingston

This looks like a playoff team to me.

I don't think Stephen Jackson will be with this team in 2 years. If he his, his game will definitely regress.

I love Kemba but, just playing devils advocate, what do we do with DJ. Kemba is shooting guard in a PG body. There is no way he'll be able to play SG on the NBA level. Like CP879 said, I think center is more of a position of concern. But I have no idea about these international players.

The good thing is we aren't locked into this spot and we can all hope for a top 3 pick.

Yeah just got done watching video of Bismack Biyambo. He's an athletic freak. I would compare his game (not necessarily his stature) to DeAndre Jordan. He has a great wingspan that allows him to make up for his 6'9" height. His only downside is his offense. His offensive repertoire to me looks like it's based of his athleticism. From the vids I've seen he's scoring with dunks. He's definitely a defensive player but could develop a down low game. His athleticism is really nice though. Maybe with our second pick we can snag him.
