relying on just blocks in the college level means nothing when you can just pack in the paint with no 3 seconds call, that's what my boy Thabeet did. How about his 2 points 4 rbs game against Iowa State who didn't even play a center? 7 and 4 vs. WVU? He averaged 10.2 pts and 7.7 rbs in his first 17 games of the season. 9.7 and 7.5 rbs in his last 17 games of the season. He had 8 games where he scored less than 5 points, doesn't matter how awful your situation is that is either inexcusable effort or terrible offensive skills

actually no I wouldn't gordon may be better then henderson, but I'd rather take Henderson and Larry Johnson, then Eric Gordon and J White or Tyrus Thomas

His ceiling is very low, and even if he does become like Gerald Wallace, then so what, all Wallace really did for us was lead us to a 1st round sweep. I think there is at least one more franchise player in this draft, and it is not Gilchrist

Believe me, I know franchise players

OT but are you from Shelby?

Nah Charlotte

We don't need a 6'2 shooting guard.

See what I did there

Well played

You did say he was 6'4 before though

I did. It's silly to claim he's 6'2 before getting an official measurement... just as it's silly to claim Robinson is 6'7 before getting an official measurement. I like to remove bias from my opinions as much as possible

The most damning knock I have on drummond isn't his inability to dominate at any level of his basketball career, its not the fact that hes an athlete trying to play basketball, its the fact that if he did live up to his potential, he'd be going to NOLA, and we'd still be getting Davis.

I always thought you were from Shelby for some reason, maybe because I live on the state line and it's a neighboring town, I always thought the Charlotte area code was different.

I don't know how tall Robinson is, I know he appears shorty than HB in that one pic. I also know if he is 6'8 or under he is too small to pair with Biz. I read somewhere he wants to go to the Wizards anyway.

Eric Gordon is not that great. I mean, he's a promising 2 but let's not give him Wade's torch just yet.

Oh gee, he was inconsistent. That's not indicative of him being poorly coached on a **** of a team at all. :roll:

You make it sound like he can't even dribble and chew gum at the same time. I think you're just drinking hateraide b/c you know he's about to make Thabeet look like even more of a bust than he already is. :lol:

He is better than anything we have.

He will be our Westbrook. We have our Ibaka in Biz, Beal will be our Westbrook, now we just need our Durant. Bazz :pray:

And other than that, we can't waste our #2 pick on Cole Aldrich 2.0.

Better than anything we have isn't saying much. I like Beal, I just don't think he's BPA. Plus, he sticks his guide arm way out on his jumper. But it goes in mostly so whatever. Beal or MKG just sounds like a Higgins pick to me.

Higgins would probably take Sully at 2 :droop:

It is a guards game, let T-Rob got to Washington where he wants to be.

ouch that one hurts, but I think it was a loaded question asked by the Washington Post....

I'm thinking within 3 years people will look back and say how did unibrow go over Beal in the draft. Mark it down.

Not even close. At least Drummond will have an NBA position, don't know about Perry Jones.

Who should the Bobcats draft at #2?
