2013 Draft Thread

Doesn't it seem stupid that we keep talking about guards when in truth we are desperate for a skilled big! But you know what they say, draft talent and trade for need

i really think we will go after Bazz or Mclemore in the draft then go after a big man in FA (jefferson, millsap, pekovic)

There aren't any skilled bigs, at least not in our draft range. It's possible we might take Zeller over the presumably more talented Bazz, McLemore, Bennett, and Noel but I doubt it. Noel is a project, albeit with very promising upside. Cauley-Stein is decently skilled but still a project. Same for Len. Adams is super raw and I wouldn't be surprised if he returned. Olynyk and Plumlee are decently skilled but are low-upside guys.

If I had a guess, I'd say that Charlotte's draftboard looks like: Muhammad (MJ pick), McLemore (Cho pick), darkhorse candidates: Noel, Bennett, and Zeller in that order. Smart is on the bubble.

Well our draft range is the entire draft... As it stands right now we have then 1st pick and the 12th.

I doubt we get the PDX pick this year. They are a slump or an injury away from resorting to tanking.

The Portland pick is top-12 protected. I've been saying for a little bit that it's looking more and more like Charlotte has one pick in this draft and that's it. Things could change if Portland adds depth at the trade deadline, but they're running that starting unit into the ground.

I wouldnt mind that. All I care about it getting a top 2 pick next year.

[Bosnian-Bobcats-Fan]

At this point if we had our choice on who to pick i'd probably choose shabazz muhammad..with Len, Noel and Bennet the other candidates

Let me get this straight...

Victor Oladipo is shooting just under 64% from the field and over 51% from three point range?!?!?!?
And he is hell on defense!

As most of you know I'm not a huge college basketball aficionado, but why is it that people aren't ranking him right up there alongside Shabazz and McLemore?

Please Explain.

I don't know a lot, but he's a junior who wasn't as good the last two years. McLemore and Shabazz seem like the more natural talents.
