Could we trade back in the first and try getting this guy. He has all the attributes and physical tools and play like a beast every game. Heck, I think he could be playing football if he wanted to. I'd like for us to get bigger. Just wondering what y'all think. Wouldn't mind giving a next year first to grab Jones. Would be awesome to have Davis and Jones in this year draft.

No thanks. He is undersized for the four and doesn't provide the perimeter athleticism or range to the play three. He has flashes of attitude problems and doesn't necessarily have the overall package a lottery pick should. I wouldn't mind a Terrence Jones late in the first or top of second...but anything higher would be a reach (IMO). NBADraft.net has him compared to Marvin Williams while draftexpress has him best case as Michael Beasley..though Beasley is a much better shooter.

FWIW, IMO.

Im not taking him this year as a lotto pick.

I'm all for Davis.

I think Jones is someone who is going to be a 15-20 pick player. I wouldn't mind trading in that range and grab him for a future pick.

Thomas Robinson is a sure lotto pick and is being dominated by Jones right now.

First off, Anthony Davis is our guy.

Second, Terrence Jones is an undersized power forward, which is not one of our huge needs.

Third, if we were going to package guys together it better be Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist.

Theres no way we getting Davis and Gilchrist. Both are going in the top five.

I brought up Jones bc he's one who we could trade back up and get in the 15-20 range.

Thomas Robinson is probably a sure lotto pick. Hes also flashing attitude problems right now. Jones is dominating Robinson tonight. Jones is not a lotto pick but I'd like to trade back in the mid to take this guy.

I think in the NBA, attitude is not so much a problem like in the NFL. If you watch, many players from Lebron to Blake Griffin to etc.... all flash attitude problem. I think it has to do more within the game itself than just the player.

If we could trade Thomas to get Terrance I would do that.

C- Bismack Biyombo, Byron Mullens

PF- Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, D.J. White

SF- Reggie Williams, Corey Maggette, Derrick Brown

SG- Gerald Henderson

PG- Kemba Walker

That's a solid group right there to continue the rebuilding process with.

Would be nice. I would try trading Maggette also.

Not a fan of his shot selection. Over the past two years I have seen him rely way too much on his athleticism and try to over power people. That won't work in the NBA. He needs some work on his shot for him to be successful in the NBA. He's a pretty well rounded player but with the way he plays he needs a mid range shot.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      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.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      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.
