    Default Charlotte's next big man

    Since we have been linked to a few free agent and even some in trade, who would best fit with us.

    A. Jamison- I was hyped to have him here, but he still a little indecisive, whether to chase a ring or settle in and mentor.
    T. Hansborough- young and could fit our youth movement but not sure yet
    B. Haywood- I would not mind, we need a center and he is younger than Jamison
    L. Scola- Wouldn't mind him either
    K. Humphries- don't know if that ship has sailed yet.

    Others that came and gone
    JJ Hickson- hoped for him but found other grounds
    B. Lopez- re-signed with Nets

    Can't say we have been sitting back letting the world go by this off season.

    Jamison and haywood will probably both end up here.And after signing sessions and those 2 that will pretty much conclude the offseason.

    I hope its not Jamison there is no upside to the move. He will be around 36 and a half by the time the season gets going so why waste a spot with a old as dirt vet when we can take a flyer on a younger guy and give him a opportunity and see if we can strike oil. J.J. Hickson would have been nice but Hansborough seems to fit like a glove and could be had cheap.

    Jamison averaged 17.2 points a game last year.I don't exactly call that washed up.And even if we sign him just as a locker room presence he would still be very valuable to our young guys.

    You aren't a fan of Hansbrough starting and he shot better than Jamison this year.

    AJ got 17.2 on 16.1 Shots
    TH got 9.3 on 7.3 Shots

    Points Per FGa would be 1.068 vs 1.27 so if they swamped FGa it would be 7.8 PPG for AJ and 20.5 for TH.

    That's not necessarily true, especially for bigs. With the more shots you take, the more you're likely to have diminishing returns. AJ is looking to take shots more than TH, who is getting points mostly off hustle and put backs.

    Neither is a guy we want gunning at this point.
    SOMEONE will pay for THIS!

    That isn't true with Hansbrough the more he shoots the better he is, when he gets 5 or less shots he can't do anything but when gets up over 10 or more he becomes far more effective.

    If he takes 10 or more shorts it's probably just because more opportunities to put the ball back. If he started taking mid range jumpers, I don't think that's the case. Jamison does a lot more shooting.

    I see that Greg Oden is not going to sit out 2012/2013. He will play. I would absolutely love to get him on a 2 year contract at a reasonable price. Best chance this team has to catch lightning in a bottle. If his knee is healthy and can hold up to play, could be a steal. Gotta think he can be had for cheap at this point. And he'd get some good playing time on the Bobcats. If you want a big, I'd take a shot at Oden.
