Gerald Henderson News

Let's take a look at the top of the draft and really look at the best fits in terms of youth and need.

Alright Charlotte sports fans, we now have the name we want for our NBA team. But, we don't have the pick we want.

I remember the 2011 draft very fondly, but one article stood out above all the others that has helped create the lenses in which I evaluate prospects at the top of the draft.

By finishing with the NBA's second-worst record , the Bobcats guaranteed they would have a top-five pick in the June 27 draft.

Strengths: Kemba's season was one long sigh of relief. Drafted in 2011 as one of the bedrocks of Charlotte's rebuilding effort, his rookie year was a disappointment .

The Bobcats fired rookie head coach Mike Dunlap shortly after the season ended, to the confusion and anger of some, and satisfaction of others.

Kansas' Ben McLemore dunks against Western Kentucky during their second round game of this year's NCAA tournament in Kansas City.

Summer classes started at Duke on Wednesday, and one notable former star was back in the classroom, continuing toward his degree.

The Bobcats owe a first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls to complete the Tyrus Thomas trade.

Charlotte Bobcats' Gerald Henderson moves the ball in front of Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph on April 9, 2013.

Strengths: For Byron, we might be better off calling this "Areas of Improvement" rather than "Strengths." This year saw a fundamental change in the way Mullens was played; instead of relying on the long midrange jumper, he drastically increased his three-point attempts .

Strengths : Hendo's biggest strength continues to be his ability to create his own shot - especially his own jump shot.

He's done more for this team than any player currently on the roster, he's played hard through adversity, he's been on the only decent Charlotte Bobcats team in the history of the franchise, and he's a remarkable athlete who can get it done on both sides of the ball.

But he's always wondered what it would be like if he coached the team located 50 miles east of his hometown.

And the Bucks made it a runaway in the second half as they piled up the points Monday night in a 131-102 victory, scoring a season-high total and the most points since a 133-point outburst against Dallas in January 2009.

There are a number of factors to contribute, but determining whether a guy's numbers are inflated or deflated due to the lack of talent surrounding him can be difficult.

I love the NBA draft. I hate that the Bobcats have been a high-lottery team two years in a row, but I'm happy they at least didn't finish with the worst record in the league, even if that does mean a smaller chance at the No.
