With Henderson at the 2..Biz at the 4 I think the 'Cats will take Barnes..though I think they are including the other two players to create interest and force teams to think about trading up.

Unless they think Henderson can move to the 3...

Wishful thinking on my part though. I want no part of Barnes. If they are looking for a 3, why no MKG?

Because he and Henderson are both wings that don't shoot the ball exceptionally well.

You need at least one that does. If you take Beal, then you have a 6'4 SG and a 6'5 SF (Henderson). Barnes is the one that fits the best if you plan on keeping Henderson. If you trade Henderson, then taking either of the other two makes more sense.

Barnes has the skill set to be an absolute stud at the NBA level. Anybody who has seen MKG shoot a basketball & still likes him better needs their head checked.

What skillet? Terrible ball handling and a complete inability to create his own shot don't sound like the skillet of an NBA stud to me.

He is a massively over-rated spot up jump shooter.

If MJ drafts Barnes at #2, he should be run out of Charlittevand the league.

I know what people are TRYING TO SAY when they say that Barnes can't "create his own shot". They mean, he can't dribble the ball well, because they don't mean that he can't create his own shot, or else they are idiots.

What part of one or two dribbles and then pulling up with that fade away in the mid-range isn't "CREATING ONE'S OWN SHOT"?

Of course his mid-range game is "creating your own shot". Jordan was lethal with that mid-range shot. If Barnes keeps hitting that and he hits the 3 pointer, like he can, the rest will eventually come because that's all he has to work on now. He doesn't have to work on homework, or anything else. You expect him to tweak the FIXABLE weaknesses that he currently has.

Love Barnes' "crab dribble" at 2:05, LOL! Check out LeBron's...

Beal is more ready than Barnes. henderson goes to the bench where he belongs...as a swingman scorer.

So with the choices being Beal, Barnes or Robinson why would we not try to get Rudy Gay?!

Even being a max guy he is by far the most talented guy the Bobcats would have and better than any of these rookies.

Rudy Gay is Scottie Pippen. Beal isn't Jordan. Gay's never going to reach his full potential until he gets put on a team as the SECOND GUY beside a SG that is clearly the #1 option on the team. If Gay went somehwere like Atlanta and played beside Joe Johnson, Atlanta would be a much better team.

Jordan never would've achieved as much as he did without Pippen being a guy who did everything good enough but not one thing exceptionally, except maybe his defense. That's what Gay is, or at least should be. He doesn't belong on the Bobcats, and it would be a complete waste of his time and ours to put him on it.

I'd be o with Trobb or Barnes, but Beal at 2, no thanks. I'd rather take Drummond at 2 before Beal. Cats need someone who can put the ball in the basket and that's Barnes or Trobb IMO.

So you're saying Beal can't put the ball in the basket? Last time I checked, Beal was probably the best shooter in this draft.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
