The Bobcats selected another solid and experienced player in Derrick Brown of Xavier. Brown played three years at Xavier appearing in 106 games in which he averaged 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Brown will be a back up on the Bobcats this season but he could develop into more than that down the road.
The Bobcats got themselves another good athlete when they selected 21-year old shooting guard Gerald Henderson with the 12th pick in the NBA Draft last night. Henderson played in 103 games in three years at Duke in which he averaged 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Henderson is a player with a good motor as he always plays hard especially on the defensive end of the floor. This was a good pick for the Bobcats.
It’s quite possible that the Bobcats will let all five of their free agents walk away. Raymond Felton is the only player of this bunch the Bobcats should even consider bringing back. He played in 82 games (81 starts) for the Bobcats last season and he averaged 37.6 minutes, 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Felton could get a big offer from another team which would cause the Bobcats to think hard about if they would want to match it or let him walk away. Power forward Sean May will likely limp his way out of Charlotte. He played in 24 games (12 starts) for the Bobcats last season and he averaged 12.5 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The Bobcats have a team option on shooting guard Sean Singletary and it will be interesting to see if they think he has enough of a future to exercise it. Singletary played in 24 games (1 start) for the Bobcats after coming over from the Suns and he averaged 7.5 minutes, 2.3 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Reserve small forward Cartier Martin is a restricted free agent and the Bobcats would likely match a small offer for him. Martin played in 33 games (1 start) for the Bobcats last season and he averaged 8.1 minutes, 2.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.4 assists per game. Forward Juwan Howard is a unresticted free agent. He played in 39 games (2 starts) for the Bobcats last season and he averaged 11.5 minutes, 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. The Bobcats might have a interest in Howard if he would play for the league minimum.
