Re: Draft :)

I'm new to this board but after reading alot of Bobcats boards on the net, alot of people are ripping on May and I'm not sure why. I mean I am a huge Tar Heel fan and watched May since he was a freshmen and every year he got better. I don't know why people are saying that he isn't going to amount to anything in the NBA. I think he has the chance to be a great player. The guy is a great player. He can rebound, shoot the deep two and post. He is going to help the frontcourt alot. Now not all the pressure is on Okafor.

I think the Bobcats did a great thing by drafting Felton and May. Felton is the best point guard in the draft, the only knock on him is that is is a little smaller then Paul and Williams, and to say is isn't a good shooter blows my mind consider he made such great improvement in his 3-ball last year from his soph. year. I just can't wait until the same people who are ripping on Felton and May, turn the table and praise them when they do great things.

Re: Draft :)

I guess if May was taller like around 7 feet everyone would start loving his game...but unfortunately hes not and hes a bit on the short side for a C/PF......6'9...correct me if i'm wrong.......Alot of people have projected May to fail because he was dominant in College against people roughly around his size or smaller and thatz why people said he may have received too much attention or "hype" for his domininance over smaller players and that his success in College would not transfer over to the nba game.....i kinda agree with most critics that he would not dominate like he did in College but i think he could be a serviceable starting PF on another team like Minny....IMO powerfowards have to be around 6'10 to have the "right" height but thatz just my opinion cuz i think PF's should also be able to play the C should injuries happen so thatz why i loved how the PIstons and SA operated because Ben Wallace and Sheed could always switch at times and create matchup probs with SHeed being able to spread the floor with his shot and relative quickness while Ben could go for put backs and second chance points......SA back in the day wen Robinson was still around was just dominant with Duncan being able to man the Centre position wen Robinson was injured and ROse being able to fill in the 4 position...although some fans think May/Brezec/Okafor could do the same in my opinion i dont think Okafor could handle on a nightly basis the Shaq's and Duncans of the league.

Re: Draft :)

May's height is overstated. You don't have to be 6'10, because where your head is doesn't matter. May has long arms. He has the wingspan of 7'3, and he is very smart and knows how to gain position and box out. Not only that, but his athleticism is extremely underrated. Hes fine as a PF in the NBA.

Re: Draft :)

may was a good pick. why does it matter that you have okafor? okafor can play pf and c. so when brezec is in the game, okafor plays pf, when may is in the game, he plays center. it works out perfect. and now the bobcats have put together a solid frontcourt that can be together for some time.

felton was the right pick at 5 and i think he could definately be the best pg in this draft(him and paul are right there at the top to me).
