Just randomly browsing through, but lol at the dude saying he was invited to PJ's draft party. He put up a promotional flyer on his Instagram for everyone to come to Inferno in Greensboro to celebrate with him.

 

Also called himself a "Hometown Hero". Stay modest, PJ. 

 

He is a hometown hero. What are you saying?

If you must know my girlfriend came home and told me we were invited to such events. Had no idea about anything around. Stay classy

Hey it's all good, have fun.

I just don't think it's necessary to go around gloating about who you know. My friends dad owns the hotel that the opposing teams stay at when they come to Charlotte to play the Hornets and I have tons of pics with players but I don't feel the need to brag about it because they are just people... Sure it's cool to meet them, but at the end of the day they are the same as me and you just richer and better at basketball.

That's almost as bad as McDermott.

No doubt, I think Randle will be a much better NBA player, at the very least, a solid 10-10 guy. But, what would drafting him say about Cody?

I just don't get it.

All these guys are gambles, if you're gonna gamble, at least gamble on your proven worst position and bring in a potential replacement with the pick... Shooting guard has been established as our weakest link long ago, and it needs to be addressed. Unless we're talking all-time great-type of talent at #9, why would you draft for the same position within a year or two after you just addressed it with a top 5 pick?

It's idiotic.

No it's not idiotic! Randle could be the best player in this draft when you look back at it 5 years later. He's an upgrade to Zeller.

We need to get better. Let's quit drafting based on needs. That's why we've been so bad in the draft.

SG could be fixed through FA. We have 20mil on cap space!

Why take pictures with random people?

When you have versatile players who can play multiple positions, you dont have to rigidly stick to drafting positions you are weak at.  Passing on a talent like Randle b/c we have Zeller would be silly.  The draft is a crapshoot, take the best player then balance your roster with trades if you have to, because 4 years from now who knows what the roster looks like.

 

I dont see anyone in Indy complaining about drafting Paul George even though their best player at the time played the same position and was still in his mid-20s.  A few years and a couple injuries later and Danny Granger isnt even close to the same player he was

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
