NBA Draft

I "think" the lottey order gets set here in a week or so. Here is the ESPN Insiders Bobcat wish list and the chances of winning

Charlotte Bobcats

Paul Odds of winning the lottery: 17.7 percent
A story leaked over the weekend that Williams, not Paul, was atop the Bobcats' draft board. Insider has a hard time buying it. While Williams is enormously talented and would fill a need at small forward, GM and head coach Bernie Bickerstaff has had a love affair with Paul all year. He's a local kid who has exactly the temperament and skills that Bickerstaff is looking for in a franchise player. The choice between Williams and Paul will be a tough one in Charlotte, but if Bickerstaff is forced to choose, I'd be shocked to see him pass on Paul. If Charlotte does get the No. 1 pick, don't be surprised if it swaps places with the No. 3 team, picks up an extra draft pick and still lands Paul.

 

I think Williams is the better pick. Escpecially considering if they miss on Paul, that Deron Williams, Raymond Felton, and Jarrett Jack are all gonna be available.

 

I'd love to see them get 2 of the following with their two lotto picks Paul, The Utah center and Williams

 

They are talking like Jack will be a high second round pick, of which we have none.

That's why I think we need to take two players with the lottery picks rather than bundling them to move up possibly. We need bodies, and we can't afford to risk two lottery picks on anything other than a sure bet, of which there are none in this draft.

Even if we get screwed at 6 and 14, we just need to go with that. Don't trade up for potential.

 

w/ 6 and 14 they might be able to make a trade to get 1 & 31

 

I doubt it, but maybe.

I guess I wouldn't be so opposed if we got a second pick in the deal. I wouldn't be so opposed if there was a LeBron in this draft.

I'd personally rather grab a Felton and someone else at 14 rather than trade both picks to get Paul or Williams. Forget Bogut, with Premoz we're set at white center.

 

agreed

 

Honestly, right now I still think Paul's the better player. Might Marvin become better? Sure. Would it be great to have a versatile 6'9 SF outside of Okafor? Sure. Paul, I can see a complete game there, where Marvin still had some things to work on.

 

Paul would be my first choice, but that is really depends on where our two picks are. I could live with Williams first and then getting Felton or another pg if Paul is gone.

 

Is there really a big need at point guard? Knight played pretty well didn't he? This team needs a scorer who can create his own shot. I am not saying which guy to take but as far as needs go a two guard or small forward would probably give more immediate impact.
