Ben McLemore says he expects to interview with the Bobcats tonight.

 

Bobcats have interviewed Gonzaga 7-footer Kelly Olynyk, who figures to go no higher than 11th. Trade-back scenario?

 

 

Bobcats have interviewed Michael Carter-Williams, the 6-6 point guard from Syracuse. He models himself after Jason Kidd.

 

 

Carter-Williams would give Bobcats a bigger alternative at the point. But he's a poor jump-shooter. They already have plenty of those.

 

 

Otto Porter has interviewed with Charlotte, Phoenix and OKC. Says he looks at Cleveland, Phoenix and Orlando as being the best fit.

Olynyk is a scrub who has bust written all over him. Would rather have McRoberts starting up front than him. 

 

MCW seems like a guy who will need proper tutelage and some time to develop. Bobcats don't have that time. They need to draft a few guys that can come in immediately and make some sort of an impact. Trey Burke, Anthony Bennett, Nerlens Noel, etc. 

 

I think Richard Howell would be an excellent pick in the second round. He'd immediately be the best rebounder on the team.

I see how their Diabolical Plan is coming together.  We trade back this year and draft either a 7 footer who will get abused down low or a pg who can't score at all.  We tank next season and end up with the first 2 picks in 2014.  We pick Andrew Wiggins #1 and Jabari Parker #2.  We automatically become the greatest team ever assembled as both are supposed to be the next Lebron.  We also change our name to the Charlotte Hornets beginning in the 2014-15 season. 

 

Or the Lakers don't make the playoffs next season since Kobe will be hurt and David Stern rigs the lottery and Andrew Wiggins ends up in LA.

1.

2. Or the Lakers don't make the playoffs next season since Kobe will be hurt and David Stern rigs the lottery and Andrew Wiggins ends up in LA. 

 

is it sad that scenario 2 seems more legit?

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
