News Update for Bobcats 6/01

[dvdbumpus]

As idicated by the Charlotte Observer:

Projected lottery picks who expect to work out for the Bobcats include Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah of Florida, Al Thornton of Florida State and Jeff Green of Georgetown. Charlotte has the No. 8 overall pick, and the 22nd pick, from Toronto.

Surprisingly, Texas A&M point guard Acie Law and Washington center Spencer Hawes don't expect to audition for Charlotte. They indicated the Bobcats were already deep at point guard and center, which isn't necessarily true.

The second section surprises me. "deep at point guard and center"? We don't even have a legit center!! As for the point, we obviously have a starter but no backup. I don't think that we would need to workout Law as we have our point guard. My understand also is that Hawes won't work out with us because he won't nessecarily fit into the system that's being integrated(probably a run and gun).

I wonder who else we're going to workout?

As for who is coming in for workouts I'm glad they are bringing in Brewer and Al Thornton.

I would love for us to work out Javaris Crittenton, Thad Young and Marcus Williams.

I'm wondering who they'll bring in for the 2nd round of players to work out? My guess would be Williams, Cook, and other shooting guards, with some points mixed in.

Let me add Rodney Stuckey to the list of guys that should also come in.

When do the workouts start?

I believe the workouts start this week... I'm trying to google up a link to confirm that though.

i guess deep at PG means mcinnis and knight, both of whom are garbage haha

center is not deep at all primoz isn't a starting center and neither is hollins

We don't need Hawes anyway, I was never big on him. Law is interesting though, I guess he feels like he should come in as a starter unchallenged cause he knows Raymond is most likely going to be here a while.

Its not inconcievable that he could come in and beat Ray out for the starting PG spot... But I guess you're right, he probably wants a more "guaranteed minutes" type of situation.

do european prospects also get workouts? when? and how do we evaluate them?
