"What would it take to make Paul a Bobcat?"

It’s always easy to look back in hindsight and declare “we should have done this” or “that” or “such and such would have been such a better pick.” The draft is the draft. It’s a lottery. There’s no real science to it. Yes, more often than not, higher picks will usually and/or eventually translate to great players, but not always.

I think it’s unfair at times for fans to castrate their teams years after a draft just because a player didn’t pan out.

With the 2005 draft, I think we made the right choice. We had two high draft picks and selected two good college players fresh off from a NCAA ring. One worked out well, and the other….well, we all know how that went.

This is an interesting topic, Ft. Mill, because this year’s draft puts us in a similar situation, with the major difference being that our second pick is higher up. At this point in time, I’m not entirely sure what we should do, although I’m leaning towards just keeping both picks. We’ll get two players who we can work on for the next few seasons. Some of the guys I’m seeing in the top few spots just don’t scream “trade 2 picks for me!” but, lol, as the 2005 draft shows, you just never know….

As a side note, and I’m sure many other teams are looking into this, but unless Kahn is really crazy, there’s no way Minnesota is going to want to draft more young players. Their roster is littered with young talent; they need some veteran players. Something’s got to happen on this front, I would imagine.

The guy’s an All-Star and a two-time top 10 scorer in the league. I feel like he would have helped more than Sean May.

This argument has become as mind numbing as it could possibly get.

But to add .02 to the mix, how does someone score more points when there isn’t a single play in the playbook where Hendo was the first option on scoring?
LB didn’t have a single play in place for Hendo to do anything.

Really in general…if you look at it…Matt Carroll was to stand in a corner and hope for an open 3…You had Kwame setting screens…Boris refused to shoot…that leaves DJ, who has no PF or C to score in the paint, no deadly jump shooter + no plays to even call for his SG, and Jackson…who makes his own shot, when it is there…and when it isn’t there.

Let’s not single Hendo out…
Let’s extend this post on “What it would take to get CP3 in Charlotte” by continuing to discuss all of our team’s shortcomings. I mean, does anyone know how to do a NEW FanPost, or FanShot? I know how much fun it is to ramble on and on and on and on in an existing post about something that isn’t remotely related to the topic, but come on guys!

This is the second time I’ve mentioned this. I swing in here to check out what’s up with my Bobcats, and I see “X” new posts in a subject that interests me, so I click to see what new news has been shared. I get into the thread only to see a 30+ entry post and reply argument on how Hendo isn’t a building block when MJ himself has stated that he could See Hendo as an All Star in the next few years. Yeah, the greatest NBA player in the history of the league would have no clue about talent..

With that said, I am going to create a new post for you guys to continue your “discussion” back and forth on Gerald Henderson, and current free agents may or may not be better than Hendo is at current, and whether we should or should not build around him, or get some of those free agents and build around/with others.
