Big season ahead of the Charlotte Bobcats as the extremely young expansion team fills itself with young talent. Last season Emaka Okafor won rookie of the year and is expected to be build into one of the league's premier power forwards.
But Okafor isn't what the media and sports fans are excited about. With three high picks in the draft, Bobcats GM Stuart Mouritzen (that's me...) took the player who may turn the whole league around. Terrence Moore, a 6'7" senior out of USC, has been hyped in unprecendented ways. Only the hype around LeBron James can beat it. People like Moore, however, for another reason. He shares James tenacity, speed, athleticism, and overall skill in basketball, but he holds the experience, intelligence, and confidence many players out of high school never build. Also while in college, Moore has developed a fairly good jump shot which James still is developing. Moore comes in as one of the top rookies of the new millenium and now the league can only wait and see for what he has in store.
With other two picks, Bobcats loaded up with PG Raymond Felton and PF Sean May off the NCAA championship team. Felton may develop into a great point guard as the aging Brevin Knight teaches him the way.
The season is about to get under way, so Charlotte Bobcats News will return soon with official rosters and season previews.
