How much do you miss Jason Richardson??

The problem is that Richardson never was a #1 go-to type of player that the Bobcats needed (and still need IMO) and still isn't known for his defense. He is fantastic as a 3rd option behind Nash/Amare in a high octane offense. I think the Cats have the right guys as a 2 + 3 option (Wallace and Jack) but they've got to find that #1 guy. The problem is, where do you find him with one of the highest profile free agent years in history where lots of teams are going to be competing for the Wades, Lebrons, Johnsons, and Bosh's of the world, and no draft picks?

I don't particularly miss him, he wasn't all that special in Charlotte. Of course with a different set of events, starting with the '08 draft, I think he could have been a piece to the puzzle that would have still gotten us to the playoffs this year.

He plays with Steve Nash now who gets his guys great looks at the basket and jumpshots in their sweet spots. Different set of circumstances here than what they got in Phoenix. Add on that he never really seemed to really want to be here, I'd say no. I'm happy with Jax.

He's a terrific athlete, but like many have said, not a number one option. He plays with one of the best PG's in the leage in a fastbreak offense. Athletes like him can put up numbers in situations like that. It's a great fit for him. He's still very streaky though, and that was the main problem I had with him at Charlotte. He'll go for 40 one night and then shoot 3-20 the next.

    • I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
