23-year old D.J. Augustin is going to be the starter at the point for the Bobcats this year.  He played in 82 games (all starts) for the Bobcats last year and he averaged 33.6 minutes, 14.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.  Augustin has now played in 234 games (96 starts) in his first three years with the Bobcats and he is averaging 26.2 minutes, 10.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.  He continues to get better and the Bobcats hope that continues in 2011-12.

21-year old rookie Kemba Walker came to the Bobcats in the first round last June.  Walker will likely be the #3 guard for the Bobcats in 2011-12 as he will be counted on to add offense off the bench.  It’s even possible that the Bobcats will need to deal D.J. Augustin to get a legit center, and if that happens, Walker could be a starter from Day #1 for the Bobcats.

The Bobcats really need a center badly and they are hard to come by.  The Bobcats could decide to bring Michael Jordan’s boy Kwame Brown back, and he was pretty solid for the Bobcats last year.  Or they could aim higher for an unrestricted free agent (Nene Hilario, Samuel Dalembert or Tyson Chandler) or a restricted free agent (Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan or Spencer Hawes).  If the Bobcats miss on all of those guys, they will have to find a center on the trade market.
