Very nice, Bobcats are being projected at about #7 with Al Horford or the next China prospect Yi Jianlian

if only char would have had the top pick in 04...or orlando would have taken okafor

4/11/2007 12:33:56 PM

Bobcats picking around 7/8 in that scenario.....in my nightmares J. NOah slips to that range and the Bobcats pick him. I think I would stop being a fan if that happened.

I'd be alright with them pickin either of the Al's, Horford or Thorton, maybe even Roy Hibbert

4/11/2007 12:37:48 PM

Okafor is solid though

but Howard is a future Hall of Famer

I just did it again and we got the first pick and took Durant

either way, everyone is predicting us to go and get Rashard Lewis, which would be real nice, but we've got to sign Gforce back

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 12:39 PM. Reason : ^ i will no longer be a fan if they pick Noah]

4/11/2007 12:39:09 PM

joakim noah will not be picked 3rd

4/11/2007 12:42:17 PM

if he is there is something wrong with people

4/11/2007 12:43:55 PM

for real Horford will get picked over Noah...bet the farm on that one

also Lawson (as well as Hansblow) announced they are staying...so obviously Lawson won't go 12th

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 12:44 PM. Reason : .]

4/11/2007 12:44:02 PM

most everytime in that mock draft Noah is picked over Horford, but really either way, one of those two players will be available in the 7/8 range, and I'd much rather the Cats pick Horford.


PLEASE don't let them pick Noah!!

4/11/2007 12:47:21 PM

that dude Yi Jianlian looks like a baller though

Quote :

"On the year, Yi's averages are: 20.5 PPG, 57.41 FG %, 75.08 FT%, 9.6 RPG, 1.3 BPG, 1.2 APG, 2.0 SPG."

7'0" 230 lb power forward...i guess move Emeka to center?

4/11/2007 12:50:50 PM

^ yeah im pretty jacked about us grabbing that guy

he supposed to be pretty fast and bring lots of energy

4/11/2007 12:51:57 PM

definitely athletic...good video of some of his clips here, if you can deal with the lame ass music

4/11/2007 12:54:10 PM

holy hell

hes faster than advertised and more athletic than i would have thought

4/11/2007 12:58:55 PM

I wonder if the Bobcats want to take a chance on this guy. I'm not an NBA scout but, I wonder how his game would fit in with the rest of the team we have. Also, since franchise inception they have gone with proven college players....

^the music with the one on the left is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

he does look pretty athletic on some of those dunks, but I wonder about the competition and his rebounding

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 1:06 PM. Reason : .]

4/11/2007 12:59:04 PM

i know they are highlights, and they are supposed to make the player look nasty, but damn

this guy can really run the floor and finish in close

4/11/2007 1:06:41 PM

what about Brewer.....he's probably the best shut down defender in the draft and the bobcats need D, right?

4/11/2007 1:09:11 PM

Straw Jr. isnt even in the top 7??? wtf

4/11/2007 1:13:14 PM

I think Brewer would be a great addition, but it would be hard to pass up on Hortford or the Chinese dude, if either are still there.

4/11/2007 1:22:29 PM

^^lol i think caner medley is declaring this year too

^i wouldnt mind seeing us get hibbert (if we dont get oden)...you cant coach size!

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 1:23 PM. Reason : .]

4/11/2007 1:22:53 PM

^ shows what you know, he left years ago

4/11/2007 1:27:04 PM

I like Brewer and Hibbert with Brewer fitting more of the Bobcats' mold at this point.

but this Yi Jianlian guy I'm not on board with...who knows how he's gonna fair against guys who are longer and more athletic than he is?

http://www.draftexpress.com/viewprofile.php?p=44

I'd be fine with Brewer, Hibbert, Horford or even Thorton...outside of Oden or Durrant, of course.

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 1:30 PM. Reason : ..]

4/11/2007 1:28:09 PM

^ yeah cause its like he will shrink once he comes over here

4/11/2007 1:29:09 PM

As long as this chinese guy isn't as soft as Yao was when he came in, it's all good.

4/11/2007 1:32:11 PM

thats about what i was thinking

I think he is a safer pick than Hibberts slow ass

and dont forget, we have the Toronto pick as well which should be around #20

4/11/2007 1:33:17 PM

trade em both for the #1.

4/11/2007 1:37:07 PM

espn reported yesterday that hansbrough, lawson and ellington are all coming back

4/11/2007 2:51:02 PM

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if they traded both just to get Wright.

4/11/2007 2:52:48 PM

so what moronic team is going to trade greg oden for whatever picks we get? MAYBE if we got like 3 and 20 they might trade...but I mean nobody in their right mind would trade the #1 pick IN THIS DRAFT for 7 and 20, for example

4/11/2007 2:55:47 PM

ELLINGTON IS NOT A GREAT PLAYER. OF COURSE HE'S COMING BACK

4/11/2007 3:00:48 PM

he sure did light us up in the acc tournament finals

4/11/2007 3:01:59 PM

it will make Ellington much more dangerous if he stays one or two more years

same with Lawson

4/11/2007 3:13:20 PM

i had never heard of this Yi fellow before this thread, now I'm glad I have

he looks like a Chinese Garnett

4/11/2007 3:14:57 PM

i had been keeping up with him somewhat after we saw that Sun Ming Ming guy on tv

4/11/2007 3:17:14 PM

It's funny to me at least that a nation of people known worldwide for being generally vertically challenged appears like it's going to produce one of the best crops of big men in basketball in the future

4/11/2007 3:19:08 PM

^yeah but its also a nation of like 1.3 billion people...that many people you're bound to have some tall ones

i heard there were over 100 7-footers in their pro league

[Edited on April 11, 2007 at 3:23 PM. Reason : .]

4/11/2007 3:22:47 PM

Garnett done for season

hmm

4/12/2007 12:32:40 AM

yeah i just dropped him in my fantasy league...in the finals too

4/12/2007 12:33:09 AM

WE DREAM



Our chances are free falling right now

4/16/2007 11:41:38 PM

Damn, I would love Sacramento getting Roy Hibbert. The Kings have been needing another big man for so long.

4/17/2007 8:32:30 AM

haha, page 2

4/17/2007 9:57:16 PM

if the bobcats were to get the #1 I initially thought they would have to take oden and let okafor play his natural position but there wouldn't be alot of offense compared to if they got durant.

4/17/2007 10:42:51 PM

i think if the bobcats got the #1 pick, they would take oden and let okafor play PF

who knows how it will go? sure our chances of getting the first pick after our recent wins is shitty, but two things:

1. its easy to realize that losing the last few games will help your draft chances, but its hard to pull for the bobcats to lose when you're actually at the game
2. last year we got the 3rd pick, right? we picked morrison...how has that worked out so far?

4/18/2007 2:38:53 AM

I would think after Jordan gets a good up close look and Kevin Durant and sees he might be a little mike, we would be drafting Durant

Instead we will be waiting till our double digit picks to get a Corey Brewer or Jeff Green

just please not another over hyped white guy that cant play

4/18/2007 11:39:41 AM

IF teh Bobcats won the lottery, He bobcats should definitely select Durant. Especially after the A-Mo idea

Tune in on May 22 for the 2007 Draft Lottery and then on June 28 for the 2007 NBA Draft.
