Bobcats Projected Starters

PG. Walker | SG Henderson | SF. Kidd-Gilchrist | PF. Mullens | C. Haywood

I watched the Pacers vs Raptors and for those of you who don't know, they are missing Danny Granger. So Gerald Green was inserted into their starting lineup. Hibbert and George are the best players. The key to stopping Hibbert is keeping him out of the paint. If he get's his position down low, it is all over. But he also poses a problem on the defensive side as well. It'd be nice to have Mullens play some center so that we are stretching Hibbert out of the paint, but that leaves us vulnerable on the opposite end when he has to guard Hibbert. And you can't forget about West who is there go-to scorer with Granger out. He single-handedly carried the Pacers late in the game, scoring majority of their baskets.

Their second unit isn't bad either with Augustin, Stephenson, Hansbrough, and Mahinmi. Mahinmi is another 7 footer that will test our bigs.

I think where we can succeed is if we go after Hill and Augustin. Kemba and/or Sessions could have a good game if they play smart but aggressive.

      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.
