draft both the twins only if by being together they give the team some kind of bonus, like getting a complete set of armor give you +15 defense, 10% fire damage, 50% magic resistance.

so for the twins if you have both on the floor at the same time your team gets this bonus:
25% attendance boost among twin population
15% discounts on neck tattoos
+ 5 on dunks
+ 5 on blocks
immunity to taunting
- 50 in coolness

I'm sorry. I think Chad Ford is so full of crap. He has no idea and is just writing something to get attention. The one position we have covered is PF. So get twins who play PF and PF/C? And leave scorers out there like Brooks still on the Board? I think any inside info he gets must come from Bonnell at the Charlotte Observer!

Is Twin #1 a PF or more a SF?

Listed as 6'9 230 lb PF. But he is versatile, so you think he could play SF? Not sure if he is quick enough. Did a quick check on some mocks, most have him as PF, a couple said SF/PF tweener.

With Diaw, TT and DJ White as our Depth on PF, I just dont see taking a PF in Twin #1 at #9 unless we have plans to trade one of the existing 3. I guess you could try Twin #2 at Center, but I think I'd much rather have Vucevic at #19. Maybe Twin #1 at #9, then trading Diaw to get a #14/#15 pick? Try Twin 1 at #9, Vucevic at #15 and Hamilton at #19. 3 positions in 3 picks, all of whom can contribute right away with some burn as Rookies.

I think Marcus Morris would be a SF and Markief would be a C. Both are a bit of a stretch, but you could conceivably put them at SF and C respectively. Still, by no means, would I go for it though. IMO almost anyone else out there at either of the picks would be a better option than the Morris Twins, but if they did draft both it would probably be under the mindset that Marcus would be a SF and Markief would be a C.

I think that could be a very real possibility. And i think his brother could be even less productive in the NBA...needless to say it would be a terrible day if we ended up with both brothers...

During the combine he was trying to prove to the pros that he could be a three. He actually did ok.

And as for Chad Ford saying Charlotte was going to play it conservative and not swing for the fences, thereby eliminating Biyombo from consideration at #9:

Charlotte, Detroit, Utah, Toronto and GS are the 5 teams who will be in Spain tomorrow to watch him in a private workout.

Keep up the good info there, Chad!

Anytime now you could provide something worth discussing....I mean seriously if this is the only crap you can produce then get off the board.

He is a bit undersized PF with T-Rex hands, so he disguise himself as a SF. The same thing Derrick Willimas does for whatever reason.

Sadly the toher part may be right, Bobcats weren't among teams spotted in stands when Veselý's Partizen won title

Good timing for Jan Vesely to have big night (18 pts/5 rebs) as Partizan wins title: @DraftExpress writes Raps, Jazz, and Wiz in attendance.

Conservative is the last thing we need. This team and this city are in NEED of a star of some sorts. I know you're not going to get a LeBron or D-Wade at 9. But someone with an inkling of star potential or at least semi-star potential. Hell take Vesely if he's there, or BB, or even A. Burks.

Of course this could all be smoke screens, teams putting misinformation out there to throw other teams off, but I don't think our front office has a history of doing that.

This probably means nothing, but I know that Najera wants us to get either Jonas Valanciunas or Donatas Motiejunas, but if not that, at least a big.

From the most recent reports and mocks I have seen, I really dont see any chance Vesely falls past #6. Just not in the cards. I think we have a more realistic shot at Biyombo being there, which makes sense since we have people at the workout tomorrow and no Bobcat people were there for the Vesely show.

What about Ben Hansborough in the 2nd round? I haven't seen him mentioned much but he would be a good pick as a combo guard. Every team needs one of them and he is a great scorer and more importantly a very good shooter (43 percent from 3). A guy like that with the 39th pick would seem to have a lot of value.
