Anthony Davis Hate?

So we get the no.1 pick.

I am hearing a ton of Anthony Davis hate and this confuses me.

I think most of it is Tarhell vs Wildcat hate.. ACC fans are such they only watch ACC games and wait for highlights for other teams.

Then they watch one or two tourney games and make judgements about one's total games.

He has a great skill set and has the best anticipation on defense I have seen. He can shoot when willing, has great touch and passing skills. Dominant shotblocker and rebounder. Why would you want any other player?

Simply put as one I saw live he is easily in another stratsophere in this draft. Sure he is skinny..but so are most nba players..and he is only a sophmore. He can develop quickly into a good to above avg offensive player. I think he can be a Kevin Garnett type player sooner than later..we can get a guard or scorer later.

I seriously hope that Tarheel fans are not dumb enough to delude themselves into thinking Barnes, Zeller, or Marshall will be better than Davis. I distinctly remember how many of them told me that Felton would be a better pro than Chris Paul.

I don't think that at all. I do think that if the bobcats don't get the first or second pick, they need to trade down and take KM.

PS Felton should have never been traded away from Charlotte. Bad for both parties.

they'll probably draft Marshall anyways because they love to draft PGs. Unless Barnes is still on the board. No way MJ passes on his boy.

Barnes will be drafted on potential alone. I don't think he'll have the kind of career that he is expecting to have, unless he actually starts caring and shows some heart and hussle on the court. dude can shoot and play when he wants to. That being said, if the Charlotte team wins the lottery and doesn't pick Anthony Davis, they just need to check the entire organization into rehab.

Barnes will be lucky to duplicate a Corey Magette career. I just dont see it..his cap is sean Elliot but Sean Elliot was developed by the time he was a rookie.

Barnes not being able to create his own shot off the dribble is going to kill him and the team that overdrafts him.

Exactly.

This past season REALLY showed Barnes weaknesses in his game. Not a good ball handler and can't create his own shot. I have strong reservations that he will ever be a top flight NBA player.

I am a big UNC fan and would be VERY pissed if we picked him....no matter what our draft position is. He has bust written all over him.

We didn't trade him, he signed with the Knicks as a free agent. He actually was working out well there in D'antoni's system before they shipped him to Denver in the Carmelo trade.

the Bobcats have just never had the Lottery fall their way. They have always missed out on the guy by one pick and blew it bypassing Danny Grainger for May.

Then passing on a few guys for Morrison who was flashing signs of I wont do it in the pros!

Bobcats, or future Hornets will be fine if there is a defined plan. I just dont see the plan if we keep signing journeymen and undersized players at every position.

      well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.

      I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today.

      You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
