I agree. Kemba is a great 1 on 1 player and having a guy to kick to would be great. Of course, guys like Gordon and Turtle are meant to be lights out shooters too - right?

Steph Curry's not great at creating his own shot

Huh? He's great at it. He has handles and court vision and a bag of tricks and stuff.

So his floor is above Steph Curry.

You know that (apart from being fragile) Curry is pretty amazing............and a PG.

He might never sniff Curry's jock.

I don't see McLemore being any worse than a shorter, more athletic Klay Thompson really.

There are few guys I think will bust on Charlotte in this draft that will be in their range.

Bennett is kinda growing on me a bit, thought I wouldn't take him in the top 4. We are just so terrible up front.

I really like what Bennett could bring to our team as well but I'm a little bit concerned with his production the last two games with that bum shoulder. I hope he's healthy by the tournament because I really wanted to see how he performs under pressure in must-win games.

I dont care if mclemore sucks on defense im sick of drafting defensive players. Bobcats have never had a draft pick that could get them even 15ppg on good efficiency EVER. An easy way to improve your defense is to actually MAKE shots which our team never does so our d is never set correctly. Mclemore is hyperefficient scoring without hogging the ball sign me up!!

Hendo in college as a junior was 54% ts at this level hes about 50..mclemore 63%ts in college! Ray allen himself was o ly 59.5%. Get some efficient scoring on this team and be amazed how much better it makes everyone

I'm tired of every athletic 3-point shooting draft prospect being compared to Ray Allen. It's a lazy comparison. Allen had much more repertoire to his game than just sharpshooting in the earlier years of his career.


thank you.

In Ray Allen's draft day highlight reel from college I remember seeing him do some huge reverse jam and having flashes of Jordan. He was way more than a shooter.
