The Official Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread

[MadBOBCATfanUK]

He can do everything but shoot. Sounds like someone else i now. Terrance Williams... I know my point is void as they are totally different, but at the end of the day hes gotta become a better shooter and scoring if hes going to play the wing position

if anything Terrence Williams was better than MKG because he could facilitate an offense pretty well, I don't see MKG ever becoming a no1 option I see him more as a glue guy a la Luol Deng

I really don't think I'd say he has a "great" handle for his size. By that same token, I dont think he's going to measure out as tall as some people expect.

Agreeded im thinking hes about 6.6 . But is much better on offence than given cradit for . His jumper has nice form and he hits his fts well . Being on a Kentucky team kinda hurts his numbers . And i really think he has a much better t0uch than most of you think. His stock might go to #1 after workouts start . Workouts should give us a much better idea of how good he is on offence.

MKD has been growing on me more and more each day.

Why Pepperz? just curious as i know that sometimes a prospect will grow on me for no reason, I wont read anything or see him play but he just...does lol

So many people here practically worshipped Crash for the type of player he was for Charlotte. When people compare Kidd-Gilchrist to an NBA player, it is Crash. So there is an automatic endearing of him to Bobcat fans. Now Crash took a few years to become the player we loved, but then he became accident/injury prone, got a bit older, and was traded. Kidd-Gilchrist has a higher ceiling in my estimation. Younger, less expensive, not injury prone and someone who can become Crash Plus for Charlotte. So if we dont get Davis, I'd be very happy with MKG.

I am really liking MKG's toughness. He takes the ball to the rim over and over and doesn't seem to mind the contact. If a defender plays him rough he plays rough back, but never stops going to the rim. This guy would be Larry Browns wet dream. Oh yeah, plus he makes his free throws.

He is an excellent at rebounding for his position. His foot speed on defense is so good he usually guards the opposing teams pg. If he develops a shot. If he can make the type of improvement Hendo has made, this kid is going to be great.

At the beginning of the year, I watch some but not alot cuz I didnt want to buy into the hype of UK. And when I do watch him, he showed glimpse here and there on the quality of player he is but I just thought it was because of who he was around. Plus his offensive game was not up to par and his height of 6'6 concerned me if he were to play sf. Durant is a sf and hes 6'10 so i would like him to hold his position down. As the season went on, he slowly went up my board but nothing significance. It was mostly around the March Madness when he started to take off. I believe if you cant preform in the big dance, it will take a hit to your stock to me. Look at Barnes this year. MKG always brought something to the table every game and it slowly won me over as a top 5 pick.

[Keetch]

If we don't get the first pick and end up taking MKG, I'd still be pretty happy. I just get the feeling that he'll get a jump shot in the NBA and become very very good. Thats about all he needs to take off.

[Chef]

at this point he is a cross between a very young crash and tony allen. not for me with a top 3 pick.
