The Official "Build For The Future" Thread
Posted: Sat Mar 2, 2013 10:46 pm
Ok, so I posted a thread last night about a few things we should seriously consider as a franchise from a technical and fundamental aspect. But to be honest, our biggest problem is probably our most obvious; we lack star talent and talent in general. Although we are lacking, I do believe there is some potential in a few of our players to become solid, starting talent.
-Kemba Walker. I'll start with the obvious. This kid plays his heart out every game for us and was far from a scrub when he started and has vastly improved. Much better fg% , averaging 5.49 assists with the BOBCATS roster that has no finishers.. that by itself says a lot., his 3 pt shot is ridiculously improved, plus he's got swag that our team lacks. i think he will continue to get better with better teammates/finishers. We must keep this kid.
- Gerald Henderson. He keeps improving and is averaging around like 15 ppg. He would start on ANY team that didn't have a superstar SG/Combo Guard. He's smart, athletic, and has some really good moves. And he's fearless. He also has some grittiness about him that our team needs, but overall, he is a good size, and way too talented to let go for a f***ing first rounder. I would keep him at least for a few more years.
-Ramon Sessions. Definitely my favorite player on the team. You would have to be blind to not see exactly how vital this man is to our team and to staying in games and winning some. He's good for at least 12-20 points a night and has a fearless, never giving-up attitude that is an grossly under-appreciated in this league. In my honest opinion, Ramon Sessions is one of the most mentally toughest players in the NBA. His whole career, he's had it rough. This guy has been through everything and never complained. He gets fouled and hacked every game and never complains about. Just keeps playing and pressing forward. Invaluable presence in the locker room and leader-type. Oh yeah, he also averages like 15+ ppg and 3-4 assists per game off the bench. Another important factor- he WANTS to be here and likes it here. It is hard to find that. Absolute must-keep.
-Byron Mullens. Not too sure what to think of him yet. He is crazy skilled and has great tall size, and is getting better at rebounding, but still likes to shoot too much and isnt as consistent as i would like. Still has some amazing games tho, so i wouldn't just let him go without getting something good in return.
-Jeff Taylor. Sometimes i see this kid do some awesome sh*t on the court and seems like a caged animal, waiting to explode on the court and he is electrifying when he does (so does MKG). Problem is consistency. If his confidence improves, I think he could be an all-star type. Unfortunately at some point, well have to decide between him and MKG.
-MKG. I was so pissed when we drafted this kid instead of Drummond. Imagine the WTF i felt when we drafted two smae-size small forwards. The I saw him play. Some flashes of star-talent. Flashes. Then he started getting more confident and more consistent. Then one game I watched him play Anthony Davis and the Hornets. Although we lost, HE ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED DAVIS I couldn't believe it. i thought to myself "it looks like we may have made a great decision and gotten the REAL #1 pick in this draft.." He's hit a wall and hopefully gets out of this slump. Undecided about this kid and Taylor.
-Bismack Biyombo. I am so sick of this guy its crazy. We want him to develop and play against NBA-level talent right? I don't understand why we don't throw him in the D-league until he figures out his game and starts making noise there. He's never gonna learn if he can't even succeed once an keeps getting shot down and failing every attempt. I really don't care what we do about him, even if he walks and gets to be better that we expected, I am so through with him.
-Jeff Adrien. Great sign. Yes raw offensively, but he's big and strong as sh*t and actually rebounds with force. only person on team that really does.
-Ben Gordon. We need to try to motivate him somehow and make use of his hot-shooting because you don't just loose shooting ability, especially in a small span of years. If we can somehow make him happy, he would be a great addition. If not, I really don't care what we do with this dude.
