27-year old center Tyson Chandler has opted in for the 2010-11 season for $12.7 million bucks. Chandler played in 51 games (27 starts) in his first year with the Bobcats and he averaged 22.8 minutes, 6.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.1 blocked shots per game. Chandler has now played in 588 games (391 starts) in his nine years in the NBA and he is averaging 27.6 minutes, 8.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game. The Bobcats were likely hoping that Chandler was going to opt out. Hopefully he’ll provide the defense and rebounding that the Bobcats though he would in 2010-11.
