So We Lose The Lottery And Draft Second...

We better hope we pick first. I don't know if Barnes is coming out. I don't think I'd want him at this point anyways. I wouldn't want Andre Drummond. He reminds me too much of Kwame Brown. I'd be interested in Perry Jones III because of his size, length, athletic ability, and versatility. If we trade DJ Augustine, then maybe I'd be interested in Austin Rivers. I'm tired of drafting point guards though. We better get that number 1. I don't know if a team has ever been more deserving of it, then the Bobcats.

we certainly deserve it...but it's not guaranteed. Davis is no Griffin or Howard, but he's the only

sure thing in this draft. The drop-off to second looks to be as big as it was from Howard to Okafor.

We need a starter at every position...I don't see us keeping DJ, and I'm a long way from being sold

on Kemba. It just sucks to think about drafting second.

Perry Jones perplexes me as much as Barnes. Both have the physical tools but lack the aggressiveness needed to feel comfortable picking either in the top five.

If we're at No. 2 I look and see what the trade back market is...if there isn't anyone offering to move up I say take MKG.

Three months ago Drummond would have been the no brainer No. 2 but he has tons of question marks.

If we were to trade back I wouldn't mind Barnes/Perry combo...which would be great value.

Just curious, does anyone think the entire lottery system is a joke and should be scrapped? They are the only sport that I know of that does it, and all it does is ends up screwing over the worst teams in the league, the teams that need the talent. Look at the Bulls in '08, they were only a couple of games out of the playoffs, win the lottery and boom, get a future MVP. All the while most of the teams that were worse than they were that year, are still bad. Its a joke to think that far and away the worst team in the league(like us this year, or the heat in '08), could end up with the 4th pick in the draft. All the while teams that barely miss the playoffs have the possibility of getting the #1 pick.

I think the only reason we are complaining about this is because we have the worst record and should have the top overall pick. If we weren't the worst team this wouldn't even be a topic. It's unfair but it's supposed to prevent teams from tanking. But on the bright side we have a 1 and 4 chance to land the top pick.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
