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

      Playoff bound. Again.

      By KillerKat · Posted

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      Did I miss something?  The people we have developing players now are not the ones we've had in the past so I don't know what the heck people are talking about when they say we are not good at developing players right now.  We only have one year to go on.  Canales likes young players or players who are on an upward trajectory, especially in FA this year.  Past QB's and what he's done with Bryce are good examples. Tershawn Wharton - 26 Tre'von Moehrig - 25 Pat Jones II - 26 Bobby Brown III - 24 Michael Jackson - 28 Jaycee Horn - 25 Tommy Tremble - 24 We missed on Milton Williams but he's 26. Everyone else we picked up are on 1 year deals.  The Panthers new front office and Canales absolutely scream developmental team. Pick 8 (stay) Tier 1 Elite - Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter and Mason Graham Tier 2 Elite - Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, Will Johnson Trade down: There are quite a few really good players that fit us at Edge, DT, S and WR mid to late 1st and high 2nd.  Some combos that would be possible that I really like.  Imagine getting 2 of these guys by trading down. Stark, Pierce Jr, Golden, Scourton, Grant, Emmanwori, Ezeiruaku, Umanmielen, Deone Walker, Harmon and this is just off the top of my head.
