Rudy Gay coming to Charlotte!

[chocolatee]

I think that Rudy Gay is the type of athlete that Bernie Bickerstaff fiends for. The only problem is between him and Crash, somebody is going to have to play out of position. Brandon Roy is my 2nd pick, he\'d be a perfect fit for the bobcats lineup, but his ceiling isn\'t as high as Gay\'s

If not Gay, I like Roy as a clear 2, I like Thomas next, but he would be repetitive for us. I do not like LMA - too likely to be a bust. I could stand taking the big man from Italy, but not as happy with him as Roy and Thomas. What do you think

I like Rudy Gay and Brandon Roy, except I\'d reverse their order. Brandon Roy is the best shooting guard in the draft, and shooting guard is our biggest area of need, so why play games with the pick. Lets make the pick that makes the most sense.

Chocolatee and Heelfan: I like them both. How disappointed would you be if Bernie took Morrison? It would not be the end of the world, he is OK - a good scorer. How do you feel about the big man from Italy?

I wouldn\'t have a problem with Morrison. The Bobcats need offense and thats what hes all about. His defense on the other hand is nothing to brag about, and thats putting it kindly.

It\'s LMA, Carney, Roy, Gay or bust for us in the draft.

If we walk away from draft night having added Morrison, Thomas or Bargnani it\'ll be worse than taking McMay at #13 last year when Green, Granger, Wright and Graham were still on the board.

Big Slam,
I\'ve seen a few evaluations of LaMarcus Aldridge where he was being compared to Brad Sellers. Needless to say, these evaluations do not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about potentially making him a Bobcat with the #3 pick.

Psycho,
I don\'t believe what I read when it comes to evaluations. One of them might have been written by a meat head like Chad Ford.

I trust what I see with my own eyes.

LMA will have the offense of Tim Duncan with the athletic ability of Bosh all while having some solid D. Not Ben Wallace D or Marcus Camby D, but solid D and if he can bulk up, the sky\'s the limt

Big Slam,
I believe that LMA will have the athleticism of Bosh, but he didn\'t show me anything at Texas that would make believe that he\'ll develop into the offensive force of a Tim Duncan. LMA had a bad habit of disappearing in some of his games, I know that he didn\'t have the world\'s greates guards feeding the post, but those single digit games still happened way too often for my taste.

LMA can score in a varitey of ways. He can post, face up or score with his back to the basket. He can work in close or step out to 18ft and knock down J\'s. He can also score from all angles and uses the glass really effectively ala Duncan. That\'s where I drew the comparison from.

I\'m glad you pointed out the guard situation at Texas Heel Fan. Gibson just out and out sucked. If he had any idea at all of how to run a team LMA would have had 10 more points a game while giving himself 6 or 7 more assists a game. Gibson has next to no vision and rarely looked for LMA even though LMA worked his ass off.

LMA would more often than not beat the guards down the court and start the break and rather than getting him the rock for the easy lay up or dunk, Gibson would hold the ball up and allow the D to collapse on LMA.

Seriously, I\'m not riding his jock (I\'m more of a Carney fan), but LMA will by far prove to be the best of the big men in this draft.

2nd best will be Cedric Simmons.

Does anybody know if anyone from the Observer or some other media outlet will be there to cover Rudy\'s workout tomorrow, or will it be locked down to keep the results of the workout a mystery to everyone but the Bobats and Gay?
