The Charlotte Bobcats have fall to the 4th worst record last season, fortunately for them the draft class is very strong. Lot of guys have the star potential in the NBA,though the class doesn't have a Lebron but still it is pretty good class and can be compared to the 1996 draft class.
With a near 12% chance to have the 1st pick down and the lowest will be 6th pick the Bobcats found themselves into pretty good spot. Here is draft preview of what the Bobcats need.
Power Forward
Boris Diaw inconsistency last season is a big factor, he might be on the move and the Bobcats need another force down low to help Chandler.
Prospects
C.McLoughlin|6'8 223LBS|22 years old|VA Commonwealth|
Best Case Scenario:Kenyon Martin (prime days)
Worst Case Scenario: Hakim Warrick
A great energy guy matched with his great strenght, he will not be easy to contain. His biggest weapon is his shot blocking. Needs to work on his post moves. Although his potential is questionable because he lacks the talent to learn.
J.Foxx|6'9 216LBS|23 years old|Fresno St.|
Best Case Scenario:Al Harrington
Worst Case Scenario:Antonio McDyess (now)
For a big man his is very quick, plenty of moves down low and can hit 18ft jumpshots. But his weak frame cost him to be an injury prone, he needs to bulk up to stay in the game. Needs more confidence about his skill and also needs a little improvement on defense.
C.Rogers|6'9 263LBS|25 years old|St. John's|
Best Case Scenario:Jason Maxiell
Worst Case Scenario:Othella Harrington
A behemoth inside, his a monster when it comes to rebounding and occasionally can hit open jumpshots. But he needs to work on his inside game, he can only score inside with his dunks. His potential is questioned because his one of the oldest player in the draft.
A.Mcdonald|6'9 250LBS|22 years old|Oklahoma|
Best Case Scenario:Al Jefferson
Worst Case Scenario:Udonis Haslem
An absolute force inside, no one can defend on him when his under the ring. If can't score inside he shoots a 20ft jumpshots. HIs offense is as good as his defense. He tends to foul other players even though its not necessary.
Point Guard
With Reymond Felton to test free agency the Bobcats need another man to run the show. DJ Augustin might be the next starter but it still the best to have a good back-up.
Prospects
M.Kavanagh|6'1 177LBS|22 years old|Alabama|
Best Case Scenario:Chris Paul
Worst Case Scenario:Travis Diener
A true team leader, his most lethal weapon is his passing as he can find anybody that is open. NBA ready player with a lot of potential. Need to improve his outside shooting and defensive awareness.
M.Bozovic|5'10 191LBS|22 years old|Czech Republic|
Best Case Scenario:Allen Iverson
Worst Case Scenario:Nate Robinson
He might be small but he got some hops to made a dunk. Have a scorers mentality but he need to be more of a distributor, often times turn the ball over due to bad passing. His height might be a liability of the defense.
R.Serrano|6'1 180LBS|22 years old|Portugal|
Best Case Scenario:Gary Payton
Worst Case Scenario:Earl Watson
His good at causing turnovers for opponents, with his high vertical he can block some shots. Overall his an above average scorer. The biggest concern is his lack in offense, he is not that quick to get by his opponents and he does not have a good jumpshot.
Small Forward
Gerald Wallace is still the starting small forward for the Bobcats but when disaster comes it's good to have someone to back him up.
Prospects
V.Torres|6'11 207LBS|22 years old|Purdue|
Best Case Scenario:Rashard Lewis
Worst Case Scenario:Jared Jeffries
Has a great shooting form and wisely use his height in making a field goal. He is a very good learner and can quickly adopt to the NBA offense. He need to work on his speed, quickness and stamina.
A.Mason|6'7 196LBS|22 years old|Temple|
Best Case Scenario:Scottie Pippen
Worst Case Scenario:Jamario Moon
A very talented shot blocker and his also got the ability to take over games due to his clutch shooting. Runs the floor well. Son of ex NBA player Anthony Mason. He need to add muscle to his 196LBS frame and he also need to be more careful with the ball.
Z.Bender|6'7 224LBS|24 years old|Utah|
Best Case Scenario:Ron Artest
Worst Case Scenario:Joey Graham
He is a strong player and won't be easy to out muscled. He works hard to get the rebounds and he is also not afraid to take the big shots. He need to work on his shot selection as he tends to shoot a lot. Some says that he is not coachable.
Center
The Bobcats might have Tyson Chandler but there is a time that he is in foul trouble or injured. A good back up center is always a nice addition.
Prospects
J.Bradley|7'1 296LBS|22 years old|Fairleigh Dickinson|
Best Case Scenario:Tyson Chandler
Worst Case Scenario:DeSagana Diop
He is a gifted rebounder and also a good defender. His offense needs major improvement but his willingness to learn is a plus factor to him.

Best Case Scenario:Dwight Howard (with no defense)
Worst Case Scenario:Stromile Swift
He have great touch around the basket, His insane dunks will make him crowd favorite everywhere he goes. His defense needs to step up if he want to have a battle in the NBA.
Shooting Guard
The Bobcats have Stephen Jackson as the starter, while Larry Hughes and Gerald Henderson provides good back up. It is unlikely to pick a shooting guard.
Prospects
P.Marik|6'1 200LBS|24 years old|Slovenia|
Best Case Scenario:Jason Terry
Worst Case Scenario:Charlie Bell
He is the best shooting guard in the draft. He is NBA ready and will look to contribute right away. He can easily adopt to the NBA offense, he got fast feet that he use to get by his opponent. Always love to have the ball during crunch time.
E.Tarik|6'2 200LBS|21 years old|Greece|
Best Case Scenario:Mo Williams
Worst Case Scenario:Willie Green
He is quick off the dribble but he defines himself as a catch and shoot player. Even though his a good scorer he is not consistent. His athleticism is minus factor on him.
