Welcome to Draft Central for the Charlotte Bobcats, on the Fan Site, Bobcats World, hosted by the SportsFaceoff Network. The 2005 Expansion Team finished their inaugural season, with the 2nd worst record tied with former Charlatans, the Hornets of New Orleans, 18-64 (.220). The Charlotte Bobcats surprised the world, with competiting and playing hard in every game, no matter the score, and that attitude, has now given the Bobcats respect around the NBA. The team that finished last in the NBA Standings were the Atlanta Hawks, who ended the season, with a very poor 13-69 (.159). This dismal record gives the Hawks of the South East Division, the most chances out of the league to get the 1st Pick of the 2005 Draft.
