Bobcats Mock Draft Version 3.0 - Roberto Gato - A Charlotte ...

The Bobcats have updated their mock draft aggregate on their website.  Then I remembered we haven’t looked at the mocks in almost a month.  I’m really getting anxious about this whole deal.  Has Rich Cho had enough time with the Bobcats to make a difference?  Will there be any trades?  I am overvaluing mid-level guys just in hopes of something working out that has no shot in the first place?  Just get it over with and we can shake it out after.

I think Rich hit it right on the head in his initial interview with Rick Bonnell :  ”I think we need some shooting and another big man.”  There aren’t big men, outside of Enes Kanter and the Lithuanians Jonas Valanciunas and Donatas Motiejunas.  We all know how I feel about European big men.  Another name that’s climbing and falling and climbing again is Bismack Biyombo.  This guy has had more profiles than a police lineup when they say “turn to the left.”  I get that he’s something different, raw, talented, a great story, no one knows how old he is.  Just sort of a marvel to scouts and wanna-be GM’s.  He’s 6’9″ but his hands must be touching his knees or calves when he is standing.  He blocks shots but he apparently 

As for that crop of big guys, you can add Tristan Thompson and the Morris twins to that group as well, I don’t see one of them making me want to take that leap at #9.  None of DraftExpress’s top 7 Big Men really appeal to me, but then again, what do I know?  I haven’t watched film on any of them, haven’t watched any games with any of those guys.  I guess my ignorance sort of precludes my opinion but my ignorance is also telling in that these guys don’t have a huge body of work from which to pull.

I believe shooters are what are needed.  Not slashers or just scorers, shooters.  Jack is a slasher/scorer, especially since he dropped the weight.  Same with DJ Augustin and Gerald Henderson, except Henderson is known more for his defense than anything.  Tyrus Thomas is Mr. Midrange and put back.  The scoring wasn’t completely lacking after Paul Silas took over for Larry Brown just before Christmas.  Shooters will keep opposing defenses honest for the slashers to be more effective.  It’s hard to find a guy with a consistent jumper, especially coming out of the NCAA.  The only ones you can say are consistently good, all year were Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette.  When you look at NBADraft.net’s rankings by position you see maybe another name that jumps out as a shooter:  Klay Thompson.
