Anyone remember silas not playing kwame until Diop got injured? The only reason kwame was able to show what he could do was becuase diop got injured.

Surprised Marcus Thornton isn't on that list.

Marvel, Thornton is doing pretty much what Hollinger projected. I feel like he gave the signing a thumbs down, but think it was contractual and not predicted performance based.

The next question would be: Who, on the current Bobcats roster, is the best PF to play next to him for those 36mpg?

Boris?
Tyrus?
DJW?
Biz?
Other?

Bismack or Anthony Davis would be the best fits, he needs a defensive monster next to him, i'm confidence Bismack will be a monster in this league once he gets older but Anthony Davis has the passing ability that could be needed, he could be everything we wished Doris to be. However if we stay with Bismack, I hope we draft Harrison Barnes-
Kemba
Hendo
Barnes
Bismack
Mullens

Mullens also needs to get some swag, like rock a shooting sleeve and grow a beard like fatlever said

KembaWalker · Post #149 » by **KembaWalker** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:22 am

Barnes is like an SF version of Henderson. cant create anything off the dribble, only catch and shoot with decent defense. Gilchrist is the better pro prospect imo.

You want to know how you get swag? You knock the opposing player on his ass when comes down the lane. That's swag. Bill Laimbeer says hi.

He is great all around. Can't shoot like Barnes but he's not bad from 3 or midrange, can attack the basket, strong man and help defender. Decent creator 6'7 230 great size. Honestly I don't know why he isn't much higher in mocks he has fantastic pro potential imo. most of his scouting reports read something like this http://walterfootball.com/nbascoutingre ... christ.php

I'm not a Barnes hater at all I just don't know how much he can improve his driving game by this point in his career. And its definitely not at a level high enough to be a star player imo. But he will be a solid starter for a long time.

tweet off Draft Express: DraftExpress: RT @FreeportKid: Harrison Barnes points per possession on: catch-and-shoot/no dribbles: 1.39 PPP, 1 dribble: 0.86 PPP, 2+ dribbles: 0.64 PPP

The answer was much shorter: no, he can't.
