Bobcats Projected Starters

PG. Walker | SG Henderson | SF. Kidd-Gilchrist | PF. Mullens | C. Haywood

I watched the Pacers vs Raptors and for those of you who don't know, they are missing Danny Granger. So Gerald Green was inserted into their starting lineup. Hibbert and George are the best players. The key to stopping Hibbert is keeping him out of the paint. If he get's his position down low, it is all over. But he also poses a problem on the defensive side as well. It'd be nice to have Mullens play some center so that we are stretching Hibbert out of the paint, but that leaves us vulnerable on the opposite end when he has to guard Hibbert. And you can't forget about West who is there go-to scorer with Granger out. He single-handedly carried the Pacers late in the game, scoring majority of their baskets.

Their second unit isn't bad either with Augustin, Stephenson, Hansbrough, and Mahinmi. Mahinmi is another 7 footer that will test our bigs.

I think where we can succeed is if we go after Hill and Augustin. Kemba and/or Sessions could have a good game if they play smart but aggressive.

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
