The Bobcats will be going with undersized Boris Diaw at power forward this season. The 27-year old Diaw has a solid all around game but he will get pushed around under the basket. He played in 81 games for the Suns & Bobcats last season in which he averaged 34.0 minutes, 13.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Diaw is a solid all-around player on offense and he is probably the best passer at his position in the NBA. Rookie 2nd round pick Derrick Brown out of Xavier appears to be #2 on the depth chart heading into this season. The Bobcats were elated to see him available in the 2nd round as they projected him to be a first rounder.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE POWER FORWARDS IN 2009-2010: C-
