Expectations

[Ghost Kat]

Morrison - I really think Morrison will have a good year. He'll be a good 6th man off the bench. Should be instant offense. He seemed like a nervous player his rookie year. He has had time to focus and should play will a purpose now.

May - He is seriously the most questionable person on the roster. I have more hope for Ajinca then i do May. I'll go out on a short limb and say May has another bad year. He's out of playing shape and 58 games in three years isn't really NBA experience.


DJ - I want to put my vote in for DJ to be Rookie of the year. I seriously think he will hush the nay-sayers and ya'll be will jumpin on the band wagon with me. He's a smart player with good skills and will end up the face of the franchise in a few years.

Pepe Le Pew - I think after training camp and pre-season Ajinca will be more comfortable with the american style of basketball. LB has alot to teach this guy and if he improves any he'll be a plus off the bench. He needs to work out and get some fight into his french fry body.

LB - I have always been a LB fan and I have nothing but high hopes for what he can do for this team. The only thing i'm worried about is Larry is 68, How many more years can he have left?

East Standing - Playoffs, Franchise record for games won,first allstars, and we'll be somewhere in the 6,7,8 range.

1) Morrison gets around 20 minutes playing time and gets about 12 points per game. This would be great and make him one of our top reserves. I agree with the borderline 6th man comment earlier.

2) I would love to believe that May could finally get it together physically and be our starting PF. This is a best case scenerio I think. I don't think I even believe it anymore. Maybe, just maybe, he surprises most of us. If he actually plays more than 60 games (low % chance of doing so), I think he will actually average a double double. I think 10 points and 10 boards is certainly reasonable. The bigger question if he can play at all...

3) I think DJ will be so good that there will be a lot conversation about who should start by Christmas (and I think Felton will improve under LB).

4) Who knows...I certainly think he has plenty of potential and LB saw something in him. I remember LB said that if he had waited until 2009 to declare for the draft, he thought Ajinca would be a top 5 pick. His workout videos look good but I just haven't seen enough of him yet to form my own opinion. Until I do, I will go with LB and support him. It sure would be nice if he could develop into that PF we have all been wanting.

5) I love Larry Brown and think he will make at least a 5-7 game swing over Vincent. How couldn't he? I've followed the Hornets/Bobcats since '88 and this will be the most talented coach we have ever had.

6) I think a 40-42 record will be good enough for 8th in the East.

I agree, I would've preferred Randolph or Lopez here. I guess we will see, but since he is here I am rooting for him. I think Ray will take a big jump this year with LB though, and that is why I think DJ only gets 18mpg and 6ppg and 3apg.

Six points and three assist and backing up Felton all most any vetran could post that . We should have taken Bayless or Randolph.

If DJ gets 18 minutes per game, his numbers will be much better than 6 and 3 for sure.

100% agreement...
I really don't think Felton will improve as much as some of you think he will.
