I would love to know what the other Bobcats think.

[ziggy]

about drafting Morrison. Do you think they\'re excited about it? Disappointed, or do you think that it doesn\'t matter to them?

[dav7z]

I think Felton,Crash,and B.K. will love it because hes a hard nose refuse to lose kind of guy.
But you know ok50 had to want Rudy GAY,
Hope something like dont get in the way of how they play toghter.

If they were determined to \"draft\" someone just because a draft was taking place, which I knew they were going to do from the moment they brought Jordan in because he had to have his \"first pick\" with the Bobcats, instead of doing the smart thing like the Boston Celtics did and look within the league for the Specific Position that they needed (for the Celtics it was PG and they got Telfair), then they may as well have taken Morrison, even though it didn\'t matter who they took from this draft.

None of them fit the 2-guard slot that the Bobcats needed the most.

They should have dealt the pick for Gerald Green and Wally Szczerbiak. Gerald Green and Felton would have been the best backcourt in the East in a few years time, and Morrison will be no better than Szczerbiak in a few years.

[ziggy]

I don\'t remember Wally S. lighting people up for 40+ at the college level.
I think Morrison is going to put up some numbers at the pro level.

[dav7z]

No way you can put Wally and Morrison in the same class. Morrison will see 30 ppg at least 10 times this year.Morrison is old school if you want to compare him to somebody. Larry Bird is better to compare him with than Wally. Not saying hes a L.Bird.

[Dead_Real]

^I agree but when its all said and done I think Gay will be the better player, Morrison will be a consistant starter for us though and will see some all star games.

On to the players you have to think Felton is happy and so is Wallace, first Felton because is dimes will be out of this world I\'m calling 10+ this year, Wallace is going to be scoring a lot this year and so is Okafor with the many bodys Ammo will be drawing.

[Slam]

There is no way Wallace and Okafor get more looks this year. In fact if anything, they will get less.

Morrison HAS TO HAVE THE BALL IN HIS HANDS to be effective. That means he\'s going to be the one jacking up the shots, which means less shots for Wallace, Okafor and Felton.

All Morrison does is shoot. He doesn\'t board. He doesn\'t create for others and he sure as shit doesn\'t play D.

Tray is right, he\'ll be Szczerbiak V.2 at best.

Szczerbiak had 24 games of 25pts or more this last sesaon. If Morrison ever get\'s close to that I\'ll be amazed.

To use the name Bird and Morrison in the same sentance, unless the words \"nothing like\" are put in the middle is wrong.

Bird could shoot. Bird could rebound. Bird could play D.

All Morrison can do is shoot.

I expect he\'ll be a younger Peja at best, a Szczerbiak more likely

[dav7z]

Felton will have more dimes,Wallace will get his shots off better because he want have three people waiting on him to go to the hole.Because of a out side presence in Morrison. OK50 now may see less shots.But hes in thair 4 his defence and rebounds anyway.So far ok50 has never been a great shooter any way.Premo WILL STILL POP OUT 4 THE 15 FOOTER .Just tell me how opening up the defence hurts the team . It makes no sence at all.
You must not have been around when Bird came out of college. He wasent that good on defence either. He had to learn to play angles just like Morrison will have to do. Jordon and Bernie both said hes going to have to learn to play angles because of the foot speed.
Hard work and playing angles is what made Bird make the all defencive team. ALL so how many rebounds did Bird average in college. Dam just give the guy a chance.

Good God hot shot. What are you talking about? Bird averaged 10 boards a game coming into the leauge!!

He also averaged 5 assist and almost 2 steals a game!!

Bird was always a solid defender. In his final year at Indiana in \'79 alone he won the Collegiate Player of the Year awards from Associated Press, United Press International, and National Association of Coaches; won the John Wooden Award, given to the nations best college basketball player; selected to the 1979 All-America team; leads ISU to the NCAA Final Four, losing in the championship game to Magic Johnson-led Michigan State University.

His NBA career and selection to the All NBA defensive team didn\'t just happen over night.

He was always a solid defender.

[heelfan]

Hes not going to be the next Larry Bird, and I\'m ok with that. If he can be the next Chris Mullin then I\'m absolutely comfortable with him being a Bobcat. If Chris Mullin could figure out how to guard people then I KNOW that Ammo can. Mullin looked like he was walking through molasses in slow motion when he was on the court, but somehow he figured out how to get the job done.
