If we can get a legit, 7 foot rim protecting rebounder who can catch the ball and finish to start at the 5 next season then McBob is going to look even better as our starting PF.


Noel?


Biyombo makes Noel look like Olajuwon these days.

Don't let Bonnell read this because it has Alex Len written all over it.

Len would be an excellent NBA player if he had some balls. Very rarely shows emotion, and doesnt demand the ball in the post at all. Bonnells love obsession him is just treading on weird anyway.

Honestly, I thought we got away with a ton of fouls and some generous whistles.

Washington tried to murder Kemba twice with screens and the refs missed some possession calls that should have went our way but yeah, overall the refs wore a Bobcats hat tonight.

More like Alex Len. Noel has no offense game.

Like a lot of us I was eating pie at the Washington table tonight.

How was the experience for you guys with the Charlotte cooking and hearing Kemba wired up. Did they do much with it. Did you hear him say much.

What was the verdict.

Len is just too thin he was getting pushed out the lane by guys that are not future pros. I think he needs another year in school but he would be dumb to stay.

Nothing mind boggling, Kemba saying And 1 a lot, hooting and hollering from the bench. Typical basketball chatter.

I wanted to hear a string of obscenities from Kemba after he got flattened by a screen twice but alas, the guys in the truck seemed to avoid those moments. :lol:

There's no way they would air the soundbites with obscenities. How I wish it was a live mic though. Felt like they've edited too much. :lol:

True but Noel has pretty small legs and its already showed in college. Both of them need to get more muscle, I wouldn't be upset with either of them tbh. But I really don't think we should pass up on a 7'2 true center, who can play offense and defense. I think his only weakness is like you said how skinny he is. I guess what I'm trying to say is Alex Len seems to be more of an easier fix than Noel.

Steve Martin tweeted me and said that Charter and Fox should have the Bobcats ordeal figured out when they negotiate their next deal in December of this year.

Best Bobcat news Ive heard in a long long long time for me. Im tired of pie.

Len's offense and defense is vastly overrated. I don't want to ruin anybody's feelings but there is no way in hell that guy is a top 5 pick. Willie Cauley-Stein > Len honestly.

i read one of his tweets about Len the other day and it was almost exactly what Draftexpress had tweeted hours earlier.

could be just a coincidence.

AGREE. If we're in a position to pick one or the other, gimme Stein.

Helluva fun game.

I'm going to start calling BG Zero-Sum.

McBob loves Hendo. Seems to always be looking for him.

John Wall is not a max player. He has it, just not all the time. Max = all the time.

McBob >>>>> Matt Carroll

Kemba crunch. Man. Dude put his cajones on display the last 3 minutes.

Like I have said before when I look at Len I keep seeing a less developed Byron Mullens. Can't get excited.
