And to those who follow the Bobcats, how has Kareem Rush done? he never really fufilled his potential in LA, but he seemed to be a decent ball player at other times as well.

I too was surprised, Rodney is a very talented offensive player. My thinking is that Bernie didn't want any players who had bad attitudes here. I'm dissapointed that we didn't keep Fizer. Imagine if we'd selected Juan Dixon instead of Theron Smith, the dude is very talented offensively
Kareem Rush has played alright, he has been here for 32 games -- and started 22. As a starter, Rush is averaging 11.5 ppg on 39% FG and 41% 3PT. For someone who is that good of a shooter, his numbers aren't very good. On this expansion team, scoring 11.5 points in 27 minutes isn't an achievement at all, Matt Carroll is averaging better per-48 minute scoring than him. Kareem has a strained MCL and is out for another 3-5 weeks (roughly)
Bernie also seems to have an overload on swingmen; Kareem Rush, Keith Bogans, Theron Smith, Matt Carroll, Gerald Wallace, Cory Alexander and Tamar Slay. Hopefully this offseason (with many being free agents) he'll organize his roster so that the main swingmen are; Rush, Bogans, Wallace and Carroll.
