Key players lost<\/strong> \u2013 Emeka Okafor<\/p>\nRay Felton and Raja Bell are OK, Tyson Chandler (brought in from New Orleans because coach Larry Brown had had it with Emeka Okafor) is OK, Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw are OK. But none are good enough to carry a team to the playoffs, let alone challenge for a title.<\/p>\n
Dealing Okafor to New Orleans raised eyebrows throughout the NBA, and was made when Brown grew tired of trying to motivate the former overall No. 2 pick (gee, that\u2019s unusual\u2026an NBA player who really doesn\u2019t care that much). Chandler has injury issues, but is bigger than Okafor and better fits Brown\u2019s defensive philosophy.<\/p>\n
Brown loves challenges, but with this team\u2019s mediocre talent base it\u2019s hard to envision anything but a last-place finish in the Southeast Conference. Now that Washington is getting healthy, who can Charlotte beat?<\/p>\n
Surprising stat:<\/strong> The Bobcats were one of the better teams in the league ATS last season, going 46-36.<\/p>\nStrengths:<\/strong> Brown has high hopes for Gerald Henderson, a steady but unspectacular guard who could get big minutes off the bench. Ray Felton can move into the upper echelon of point guards with another good season.<\/p>\nWeaknesses:<\/strong> The Bobcats are a boring bunch that controls tempo and tries to keep the score in the 80s, or even below that. With little talent, they have no choice.<\/p>\nPlayoffs?<\/strong> These guys are still two or three lottery drafts away from Atlanta Hawks territory.<\/p>\nWin total projection for 2009-10<\/strong> — 25<\/p>\nCLICK HERE TO JOIN SPORTSBOOK.COM – ONE OF OUR TOP RATED ONLINE SPORTSBOOKS – 50% SIGN UP BONUS FOR NBA BETTING ONLINE<\/h3>\n
