While it’s been a short history, the Charlotte Bobcats had their best season yet as they finished the 2008-09 season with a 35-47 record. There is no doubt about it that Charlotte is slowly but surely improving. Although the bottom of the Eastern Conference was a power struggle, the Bobcats finished only four games out of the post-season and it’s clear that they are close to getting there. With a productive off-season and assuming everything goes accordingly, there is a slight possibility that the Bobcats could sneak into the post-season, especially if the bottom of the Eastern Conference is as bad as it was this past NBA season.

This young balanced team will have the rights to the 12th overall pick in the draft and they could really use an explosive scorer from the wing, or anywhere for that matter. They lack someone who can consistently put pressure on the defense with their scoring ability and that’s what Charlotte needs to thrust them into the playoffs. Of course coming across a player who can score within your system is easier said than done, especially considering the Bobcats’ front office hasn’t shown they are willing to spend big bucks.
