Chad Ford hints at who the Bobcats may take!!!


Recommended Posts

Source: HoopsWorld.com

(Kawhi) Leonard, (Chris) Singleton and (Tristan) Thompson all drew praise from Bobcats sources. I'm told the Bobcats are going to be pretty conservative with the ninth pick. They'll be content with a single or a double and will likely go for a proven prospect who can be an impact player out of the gate, even if that means drafting a player with a bit lower ceiling. In other words, don't expect them to take a swing for the fences with a player like (Bismack) Biyombo or even (Josh) Selby.

Of the group, Leonard and (Kemba) Walker are at the top of their list, but neither player is projected to be on the board at No. 9. That should leave the two Thompsons (Klay and Tristan), Hamilton, Singleton and the Morris twins battling it out to be the ninth pick.

(Kenneth) Faried, Markieff Morris, (Marshon) Brooks and (Nikola) Vucevic are all serious possibilities with the 19th pick.

So from this article and from some other research that I have done, it sounds like the Bobcats have their prospects in this order for the 9th and 19th pick's...

1. Kemba Walker, PG, UCONN (Pro Comparison's: Ty Lawson, Kyle Lowry)

2. Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Diego State (Pro Comparison's: Luol Deng, Gerald Wallace)

3. Klay Thompson, SG/SF, Washington State (Pro Comparison's: Brandon Roy size and ability/ Mike Miller shooting)

4. Tristan Thompson, PF/SF, Texas (Pro Comparison's: Kevin Garnett size/ Andre Iguodala ability)

5. Jordan Hamilton, SF, Texas (Pro Comparison's: Stephen Jackson, Rashard Lewis)

6. Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Kansas (Pro Comparison's: David West, Al Harrington)

7. Markieff Morris, PF, Kansas (Pro Comparison's: Rasheed Wallace, Drew Gooden)

8. Chris Singleton, SF/PF, Florida State (Pro Comparison's: Trevor Ariza, Shawn Marion)

9. Kenneth Faried, PF, Morehead State (Pro Comparison's: Ben Wallace, Udonis Haslem)

10. Marshon Brooks, SG, Providence (Pro Comparison's: Nick Young, Jamal Crawford)

11. Nikola Vucevic, PF/C, USC (Pro Comparison's: Mehmet Okur, Kosta Koufos)

But really:

Drafting Kemba may be appealing but Augustine has been doing well and that's just another small guy being added on a team that needs athleticism don low. Our number one priority should be getting athletic & big at 4 & 5 imo. I don't know why we wouldn't at least try trading down to get Valanciunas or Kanter. I don't think Leonard will be available, but isn't worth a trade and so we're basically looking at Tristan Thompson. Its a tricky position.
