|
| |  | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: KEMBA WALKER has become a more efficient scorer as well as a capable distributor. He'll sacrifice some shots with Al Jefferson coming in, but he should have more space with which to operate. Down the line, he could mesh nicely with pick-and-pop four Cody Zeller . . . GERALD HENDERSON transformed from a raw athlete into an effective, efficient scorer in the second half of last season. He should be the No. 2 or 3 option this year . . . RAMON SESSIONS is locked in as a sixth man. He's not a shooter, but his ability to get to the line makes him an effective second-unit scorer . . . BEN GORDON seems to be going through the motions at this point. His real value this season is his enormous expiring contract. FORWARDS: MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST is going to be a quality NBA player for a long time, but he's not close to being a major factor offensively. He'll continue to defend and rebound effectively for a wing, but he's a No. 4 or 5 option on the offensive end of the court . . . JOSH MCROBERTS proved good enough to be a rotational player on a bad team last year. He has a chance to start early on while the Bobcats bring some young guys along . . . CODY ZELLER struggled against length and athleticism in college, so it seems the 'Cats think he can be more of a stretch, pick-and-pop four. If he proves to be a shooter, he's athletic enough and a good enough rebounder to be a solid NBA starter . . . JEFFERY TAYLOR is a forgettable second-unit player who can defend a couple of positions. ANTHONY TOLLIVER won't see the floor much, but he can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. CENTERS: We'll see how the Bobcats mesh with AL JEFFERSON, the NBA's worst defensive big man and a lane-clogging black hole on offense. He can score, and at (an incredible) $40 million-plus, Charlotte will run everything through him . . . BISMACK BIYOMBO will play some alongside Jefferson, as the Bobcats desperately need to cancel out Jefferson's defense. But the young big man figures to be used more sparingly this year . . . BRENDAN HAYWOOD is still kicking around. | | ATLANTA: GUARDS: It was a rocky offseason for JEFF TEAGUE, who looked like a goner at one point. Instead, he'll be the focal point of Atlanta's offense . . . Coming off a torn ACL, resident gunner LOUIS WILLIAMS is a question mark entering the season, especially as a guy who relied so much on quickness and explosiveness. He may not be right again until 2014-15 . . . JOHN JENKINS was rock solid as a rookie and should see a bump in playing time with DeShawn Stevenson gone. Jenkins is a legit shooter who can hold his own defensively . . . Rookie DENNIS SCHRODER is a year or two away from consistent minutes, but the penniless man's Rajon Rondo comparisons aren't off . . . JARED CUNNINGHAM is a middling talent destined for a minor role. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP was lost in the shuffle in Utah last year, but he'll be a significant part of this offense in Atlanta. He's a well-rounded power forward and may prove to be a better fit than Josh Smith was for the Hawks . . . KYLE KORVER is coming off a huge year and will play major minutes at both wing spots again . . . A shadow of his former self, ELTON BRAND will rotate in at power forward and center . . . This generation's junkyard dog, DEMARRE CARROLL gives Atlanta some defensive options on the wing and energy off the bench. Outside of some transition baskets, he's a non-factor on offense . . . Euro veteran PERO ANTIC is a finesse stretch four who provides frontcourt depth. CENTERS: After playing a lot of power forward alongside Zaza Pachulia last year, AL HORFORD will spend most of this season at center. With Josh Smith gone, he's poised to have his biggest offensive numbers ever . . . GUSTAVO AYON has proven capable of eating up some space on the second unit. He'll be the second big off the bench after Elton Brand. |

*Bobcats-Hawks Preview* =======================
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor
Charlotte (14-15) at Atlanta (16-13), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Over the last few weeks, Atlanta's offense has made huge strides under first-year coach Mike Budenholzer.
The offense will face tremendous adversity over the next few weeks as it begins to adjust to life without leading scorer Al Horford.
The Hawks play their first game since learning Horford tore his right pectoral muscle Saturday night against the Charlotte Bobcats - a team they've defeated nine times in a row.
Horford left in the first overtime of Thursday's 127-125 double-overtime win at Cleveland. Atlanta (16-13) said an MRI and examination on Friday revealed the complete tear of the muscle, leaving his status for the remainder of the season in question.
"We will work with Al and complete our due diligence to determine the next best steps for him," Hawks general manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. "Injuries are part of the challenge of an NBA season."
Horford emerged as a good fit in Budenholzer's offense, averaging team highs of 18.6 points and 8.4 rebounds. The Hawks are 11-3 when he scores at least 19, but 5-10 when he scores 18 or less.
Pero Antic, who averages 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 10.5 minutes, may take Horford's spot in the starting lineup, while Gustavo Ayon and Elton Brand are expected to see increased minutes.
If there is any good news for Hawks fans, Horford tore his left pectoral muscle 11 games into the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season and missed the rest of the regular season but was able to return for the playoffs.
Currently third in the Eastern Conference, Atlanta, even with Horford sidelined indefinitely, still has a good shot of making the playoffs in a down East.
Horford had played a big part in Atlanta's offensive eruption, averaging 22.6 points on 63.0 percent shooting in the last five games. The Hawks are averaging 120.4 points on 51.2 percent shooting in that span, losing only at Miami in overtime on Monday.
Jeff Teague sent Atlanta to double-overtime with a game-tying 3-pointer with five seconds left in the first extra period, and hit the winner at the buzzer of the next session. He finished with a career-high 34 points on 14-of-24 shooting and added 14 assists.
Horford was instrumental in a 103-94 win at Charlotte on Nov. 11, the season's lone meeting. He scored 13 of his 24 points in the third quarter while the Hawks outscored the Bobcats 34-16, turning an eight-point halftime deficit into a 10-point lead.
The Hawks have won nine straight in the series, and their last four home victories have come by an average of 20.7 points.
The Bobcats (14-16) are opening a five-game road trip after suffering an 89-85 loss Friday to an Oklahoma City team playing without Russell Westbrook. Charlotte had a chance for the win but Josh McRoberts missed an open 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds left.
The close loss against one of the league's best teams did little to encourage Bobcats coach Steve Clifford.
"This may surprise you, but I didn't like at all the way we played," he said. "I didn't like our defense. Our attention to detail was not good at all. The things we talked about this morning that we had to do, we did a poor job with. We gave them baskets. Our effort on the glass was not anywhere it needs to be."
Charlotte is 6-5 since Dec. 6, averaging 107.7 points in the wins but just 86.4 points in the defeats.
Al Jefferson, who was working his way back into playing shape in the first meeting with Atlanta, is averaging 21.8 points and 11.2 rebounds in the last five games.
