The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist thread

[Niner National]

hate that I missed him play last night.

Good to see he had a solid game though.

I love the pick..its what the Bobcats need even though Lillard the is more explosive scorer...it needs to start cuturally where a Lillard type would flounder here as a primary scorer.

MKG may not win MVP ever but he is a team changer. im all in and respect the way he plays.

No hindsight..I thought he was the third best player after Davis, MKG. I watched Beal and thought he was really overrated as he never really made any major impact on any game he played. Robinson and Barnes..cmon BBall is one of the easiest sports to scout.

Lillard, I went by scouts and such and found one game where I saw a lot of talent.. i was just saying my comment even with hindsight( you cant be mad at the MKG pick even if Lillard is the next Darren Williams.

This guy is unbelievable good. Way better than Beal, Robinson, or Barnes or whoever else. I think he is as good as Anthony Davis. His relentless defense, block shots and ability to get the ball in the hoop is great. He is not playing like a 19 year old rookie. He is going to be a STAR. Can't wait to get some more good players in the draft to round out of starting rotation with Kemba and MKG.

I hate to compare him to Gerald Wallace again but...

MKG: 25 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blks, 1 stl

That is exactly what GW gave us night in and night out. If Geralds shot was off he would play defense and block shots. MKG looks like a GW clone and at 19 a better clone at this point.

I'm liking this kid

Seems like the right draft pick.

If they hit next year, we could be in for a really good team in a few years moving forward

Wayyyy more upside than Crash. We're talking about a player that could give us what Pippen gave Chicago, only without a Jordan to outshine him. Our kids are stepping forward together and this rebuild may be shorter than MANY of us, myself included, anticipated. We're starting to become relevant and MKG is a big reason for that. He's only 19 by a few months. Pretty much straight out of HS with a National Championship. Not many in history have come into the league as strong defensively as MKG has at his position.

yeah, I'm sorry but this guy is way better than Gerald Wallace. Wallace is a good player. MKG will be great

Exactly. But don't worry, we'll get our Jordan next year with Shabazz. Lol

Anyways anyone know when he'll get to play at UCLA?
