Part two - The Power Forwards
Tyrus Thomas | 6'9'' | 215 lbs | 5 years pro | LSU
| 2009-10 | CHA | 10.4 PPG | 5.8 RPG | 0.9 APG | 0.7 SPG | 1.8 BPG |
The Bobcats acquired Thomas from the Bulls to prepare for the summer of 2010. Despite their efforts, they couldn't land Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh. The Bobcats however got Thomas in exchange for Acie Law and Flip Murray. With his great athleticism and defensive skills, Thomas quickly got the starting nod over Boris Diaw who was later traded for Marcus Camby.
Thomas was a restricted free agent this summer and he said he wanted to see what offers he would get on the market. The Clippers signed him to a 4-year deal, but the Bobcats quickly matched it. Thomas wasn't disappointed and felt that the Bobcats are the right place for him.
Thomas, now entering his 5th season, has great mentors in Marcus Camby and Theo Ratliff and can develop into a real presence down low.
-------------------------------
Marcus Camby | 6'11'' | 235 lbs | 15 years pro | Massachusetts
| 2009-10 | POR-CHA | 5.7 PPG | 7.6 RPG | 1.1 APG | 0.0 SPG | 1.7 BPG |
Camby was upset about being traded to Portland at first, but got used to it. He played a big part for the young Blazers, but as Boris Diaw became more and more upset about not playing as much, Portland sent him to Charlotte for the Frenchman.
Camby got used to his role in Charlotte, respecting the choices of head coach Larry Brown. Camby's contract ended with the 2009/10 season, but team president and majority owner Michael Jordan insisted that they re-sign Camby. Camby signed for one more year as he hopes to help this team to their first Playoff appearance.
-------------------------------
Ed Davis | 6'10'' | 225 lbs | Rookie | North Carolina
| 2009-10 | UNC | 12.9 PPG | 9.2 RPG | 0.9 APG | 0.4 SPG | 2.7 BPG |
Ed Davis was the Bobcats' 10th pick in the 2010 draft after a great Sophomore season as a Tar Heel. Davis has great shot-blocking and rebounding skills, just like many other players in the Bobcats roster.
Davis is fortunate to have veterans like Camby and Ratliff to help him as he makes the transition from the College game to the NBA.
