Our Draft Targets

[Chef]

You only do this if you have some kind of guarantee from CP3 otherwise it is dust chip part deux.

not saying i agree with it, i was just answering a possible fate of a top 3 draft pick from us if FA is the rebuild plan.

I'd love to get a top pick and get someone like Derrick Williams or Perry Jones (in that order). I'd also heavily consider grabbing Enes Kanter. Good big men do not come around too often. With Kanter only being 18 he can be a consistent starter (at worst) or a consistent all-star for 15+ years.

Realistically, we go after someone who can score like Jordan Hamilton. I wouldn't want to see them get Kawhi Leonard because he is a GW version 2.0. We need offense, badly.

With that NO pick, you take best available. If it's a PG, take him. If it's another SF, take him. The Bobcats need to establish a bench as is.

Don't kill me, but drafting Jimmer and asking him to come off the bench to score seems like a best case scenario for him. Having a scorer like that on the bench is a nice asset to any team.

If we had an established team, a 6th man scorer would be valuable. But as it is, we need to get some home run guys and high level starters. We shouldn't concern ourselves with a bench yet, wait until we establish that first unit.

I agree 100%, but I don't think with NO's pick we'll be able to draft a starter. If we can, obviously that's the route to go.

If they make the playoffs then that's probably the case. If we get their ~18th pick then I say we draft a high potential guy like Johnson, Benson, etc. Though we may get lucky and get their lottery pick which may very well land us a nice player.

For all of the Keith Benson fans out there, espn2 is showing the Oakland v. Oral Roberts game and Benson is looking good. I don't know much about him other than his size, but he's got 14/7 at the half with 3 dimes and a blocked shot. With no good sports on tonight, I'm gonna watch the rest of the game because I've heard several people on here that like his game.

best case scenario IMO if we (the bobcats and the hornets fall out of the playoffs)

Draft Barnes with the first pick
Alec Burks with the 2nd pick
Keith Benson with our 2nd round pick(hes projected as a 2nd rounder) if he goes higher, Target Benson over Burks.
DJ/Livo
Hendo/Burks
Barnes/UPS(if he resigns)
TT/DJWhite
Benson

[Since the preception of this draft is that its weak, maybe we could work out trades with Diaw, and Jax, and in return possibly get Chicagos First rounder for Jax, and Indys 2nd Rounder for diaw.

who is the guy i saw on sportscenter in a lower conference. set the record for career rebounds. posted line for that game 15/21/7blks. it is definitely against inferior competition but he reminds me of a rodman/ben wallace type. rebounds are the stat that draft "experts" say carry over the best from college to pros.

Probably Kenneth Faried from Morehead State, fantastic player and is coming up on Duncan for career double doubles. I think he's a Tad small but will definitely be able to board in the NBA.

draftexpress has him at the top of the 2nd, draft.net has him to orlando at #21. hopefully he falls a bit. i would definitely move up to get him at the top of the 2nd if possible.
