Charlotte 2020 Big Board - Pick #12 

Post#1 » by BigSlam » Sun Oct 25, 2020 12:53 pm

With the draft just over a month away I thought it a good time to get our big board up and going for this year.

We'll keep each picks thread open for a few days before I or another mod tally the votes, lock the thread and open the next pick thread.


Pick #1 = Wiseman (37% out of 30 total votes)
Pick #2 = Okongwu (48% out of 27 total votes)
Pick #3 = Edwards (45% out of 20 total votes)
Pick #4 = Ball (37% out of 27 total votes)
Pick #5 = Hayes (46% out of 26 total votes)
Pick #6 = Haliburton (48% out of 25 total votes)
Pick #7 = Avdija (58% out of 17 total votes)
Pick #8 = Vassell (42% out of 22 total votes)
Pick #9 = Okoro (56% out of 18 total votes)
Pick #10 = Williams (29% out of 17 total votes)
Pick #11 = Toppin (42% out of 12 total votes)

Wait is Cole Anthony a SG?

The only reason I haven't been voting for him is I thought he really disappointed at UNC.

I think he seems like a guy without a true position. He is to small to play with Graham and isn't a great playmaker. I like him and think he will be a steal for someone but I don't feel like he fits us as well as some of the other guys. I do think he gets a bad wrap for this past season due to injury and a poor team around him at UNC.

Was high on Anthony coming in but not sure he's a point guard now. Lots of 6'3" and below point/combo guard prospects like Kira Lewis Jr., Tyrell Terry, Dotson, Mannion, Riller, even deep into the second round. Therefore Poku!

Cole Anthony is an undersized SG in a PG body. In his limited one year at UNC he showed ZERO confidence in his teammates (that's another discussion with the caliber of team he had). He looks to score first, which is fine, but he forced a lot of shots unnecessarily. He wasn't about making the right play while at UNC. That's why I don't want him.

He's competitive and has a fire to him which I love. I have him pegged as a pick between 15-18. I just think at this level, we can find a better prospect to fit in at SG.

The one argument could be that if Edwards is 6'3 then what is the difference in the two. At the same size I would be much more impressed with Cole and him.

Truthfully, I'm not high on Edwards at all. I believe I'm in the minority, but I wouldn't use a top 5 pick on him. That's just me personally.
