Yes, someone please post the complete article.
There's also an article by Thorpe saying that if ever we don't get the first pick and end up with the second, we should pick Thomas Robinson.

And Charlotte does not need players who are "projects" from this Draft. Was a good article.
couldn't disagree more. last thing we need is another gerald wallace or even kenneth faried type player. they won't get us any closer to relevance. i would rather swing for the fence and miss than keep hitting solid single and doubles.
Drummond's freshman stats per 35 minutes:
12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 blocks
Drummond's stats per 35 minutes if he had made 60% of his free throws:
13.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 blocks
These numbers make me feel a little better about him. A lot of guys in college averaged 35 or more minutes a game this year. Big men can take longer to develop, because it's common for them to play mostly against smaller centers in high school.
I'd stay away from him. He's got high potential to be a great player, but also high potential to be a bust. It's not something we can risk right now. What we need is someone who is already ready to be a big contributor but also has the potential to get even better along the way.
I'm with Chef on this one do we really want to be in the position where we let someone with his talent slip through our fingers and so what if he's a bust theres always next year. Another thing is this guy is such a valuable asset for teams in full rebuild a 6"11 big man with athleticsm to match some of the best in the league whose to say we can't grab a huge haul trading down.
Leave me out of this. Oh, wait. We're still talking about Drummond.
the uconn guys on here will have better answers but i think it is probably a combination of space cadet and getting used to playing real competition. imagine being him in high school and never seeing anyone near his size and athleticism, then overnight playing against at least one guy near you in size every night. it would take a little while to get used to.
