2007 NBA Draft: Potential Winners/Losers - 夏洛特黃蜂 Charlotte Hornets

http://www.nbadraft.net/duffy003.asp

Charlotte Bobcats (8, 22)

How they can win: Charlotte seems obsessed with drafting “winning” college
players in the lottery. So far, their strategy has yielded one good player
(Emeka Okafor), one emerging starter (Ray Felton), and two players who will
never be as good as they were in college (Adam Morrison and Sean May). If the
Bobcats abandon that strategy and draft more for upside by taking someone
like Brandan Wright, Al Thornton, or Yi Jianlian, it could benefit them a lot
more than drafting Joakim Noah. Corey Brewer is the only “winner” that
would make sense because he fills a need for a perimeter defender and has a
great deal of potential.

How they can win big: You have to figure any player Charlotte takes at #8
will give them a lift, but the Bobcats could make the draft a real success if
they can find a gem at #22. Colorado State F/C Jason Smith would give the
team some more offense up front, and if Eastern Washington G Rodney Stuckey
were to fall to 22nd, he could be a lightning-rod off the bench.

How they can lose: The Bobcats have a tendency to draft way too
conservatively. Taking Noah with the 8th pick and someone like Arron Afflalo
or Jared Dudley 22nd won’t help Charlotte get to the next level.
