JUMPING SHIP!!!

 

ANTHONY BENNETT

UNLV PF, 6'7 240 LBS

Bennett is a bit of a tweener just like another UNLV product who played for the Hornets in Larry Johnson, but I believe that his athleticism, versatility, and potential is too much to like. He will be able to solidify the PF position in the NBA level. Bennett will bring a lot of offensive power, and energy in addition to Kemba and MKG. His defense can be questioned, but the kid is a good re-bounder and scorer. Bennett is going to be a "monster" and create havoc in the paint. We can't fug this pick up and Anthony Bennett is the answer for the future.

He has the all around game and explosiveness you want..but damn he has a Duwan Blair(undersized Power Forward) quality that sucks...this draft is awful. Still like Len better..

 

Yea, physically he is very similar to Blair but it would be a shame to say that Bennett is Blair 2.0.

He didnt show up in the tourney. Didn't they lose round one? If he can be better then millsap then sure take him

 

Yea, UNLV loss to Cal 64-61 in the 2nd round. He had 15 points and 11 boards; still not bad. I don't like paying too much attention at players in the tournament. A good player is a good player, no matter if they perform badly in big scenes. I'm not going to degrade McLemore or Bennett with their performances in the tournament, because I know they can ball. Let's remember that these kids are playing their first big tournament in the college level.

Hearing that John Wall might prefer Bennett over Porter. That would really suck if Noel, McLemore, and Bennett all goes Top3.

 

I agree, this would be my "worst case scenario" for the Bobcats, but I still think walking away with Olidipo or Len at #4 isn't bad and could end up being a blessing in disguise not going for the potential of the other 3 guys and taking a low risk prospect.

 

I am not trying to open a can of worms, but if Otto Porter slips to #4 which is seemingly very possible, is he an option for the Bobcats if we plan to resign Gerald Henderson?

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
