|
| | | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: RAMON SESSIONS will have to adjust to a major downgrade in teammates, but he has the kind of versatile offensive skill set to be the focal point of this offense . . . The athletic GERALD HENDERSON has made strides the past two seasons. Realistically, his offensive skills are those of a No. 4 or 5 option . . . Coach Mike Dunlap is high on KEMBA WALKER, who was sometimes overwhelmed as a rookie. With a few new sets built in for him, he could thrive as a sixth man getting starter's minutes . . . BEN GORDON won't overtake Henderson, but should see big minutes as the Cats' only shooter . . . REGGIE WILLIAMS is a D-League talent . . . MATT CARROLL, in the final year of his $27 million deal, symbolizes everything that's gone wrong under Michael Jordan. FORWARDS: Drafting MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST was as much about changing the losing culture as it was adding a piece they needed. MKG's statistical output is a question mark, but he'll see big minutes as a defensive stopper and intangibles guy . . . This team is seriously lacking in the post, where they may have no choice but to play TYRUS THOMAS for significant minutes. The talented but uber-underachieving big man claims to have added 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason. If nothing else, they might showcase him in a desperate attempt to get some trade value . . . Rookie JEFFERY TAYLOR figures to make the team and has the versatility and athleticism to be a respectable second-unit guy. CENTERS: Charlotte sees BISMACK BIYOMBO as a franchise cornerstone. He can certainly rebound and block shots, but his offense is atrocious . . . BRENDAN HAYWOOD brings a veteran presence. At his age he can't go more than 15 or so minutes per night . . .

DeSAGANA DIOP is doing those things that DeSagana Diop does. | | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON JENNINGS benefitted from the arrival of Monta Ellis last year. He has the offense and system to thrive, and now needs to prove he can be efficient enough to be a star . . . MONTA ELLIS played second fiddle to Jennings last year, and really struggled to shoot the ball. The Bucks now play the kind of tempo he likes, but he'll have to adjust to playing off the ball more often . . . BENO UDRIH won't see a ton of action off the bench considering Jennings and Ellis play so many minutes. If a starter gets hurt, he could step in and hit a lot of threes . . . Second-rounder DORON LAMB has some upside as a future sixth man, but figures to ride the bench this year once his torn elbow ligament heals. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA should finally get some respect from Skiles after starring down the stretch last year . . . MIKE DUNLEAVY re-emerged as a legitimate three-point threat, though he doesn't do much else . . . DREW GOODEN's role should shrink with Ilyasova stepping up and Sam Dalembert coming in . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH a MOUTE is coming off knee surgery, but he's improving as a rebounder and can play both forward spots off the bench . . . Rookie JOHN HENSON is a defensive stud and does enough as a screener to get decent minutes early . . . TOBIAS HARRIS was a Summer League star, but he's too much of a 'tweener to thrive in the NBA . . . EKPE UDOH provides defense and rebounding off the bench . . . LARRY SANDERS has potential, but this frontcourt is too crowded for him to make an impact. CENTERS: SAM DALEMBERT fell in and out of favor in Houston, but he's exactly what the Bucksneed as a defensive presence in the paint. Milwaukee has numerous players who can man the five in spots (Ekpe Udoh, Drew Gooden), but Dalembert is by far their best defensive option and should see big minutes . . .

*Bobcats-Bucks Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Charlotte (7-10) at Milwaukee (8-9), 8:30 p.m. EDT
Playing the team with the Eastern Conference's longest losing streak might be just what the Milwaukee Bucks need to break out of their recent funk.
The slumping Bucks will try to avoid losing for the eighth time in 10 games Friday night when they host the Charlotte Bobcats, who have dropped eight straight in Milwaukee.
After a 6-2 start, the Bucks (8-9) fell under .500 for the first time Wednesday night with a 110-99 loss at San Antonio.
Aside from a 91-88 win versus Boston on Saturday, Milwaukee (8-9) has lost four straight by double digits.
"They just went on a run and we couldn't get back in the game," coach Scott Skiles said after the team's latest defeat.
The Bucks have struggled to find consistency on offense, scoring 91.9 points per game during this stretch after averaging 101.0 in their first eight.
While he finished with a team-high 21 points against the Spurs, leading scorer Monta Ellis made just 5 of 19 from the field, leaving him at 24 of 73 (32.9 percent) over his last four games.
Ellis, though, will try to duplicate his performance from the last meeting in Charlotte on Nov. 19, when he scored a game-high 31 points. That wasn't enough, though, as the Bobcats won 102-98.
Brandon Jennings, who scored 14 points on 5 of 15 shooting on Wednesday, might also be able to find some open looks against a Charlotte team that has been burned from beyond the arc.
The Bobcats (7-10) have given up 75 3-point field goals (10.7 per game) in the last seven games and 8.8 3-pointers this season - the third-most in the NBA.
Jennings, who went just 5 of 18 from the field last month in Charlotte, has hit 14 of 25 (56.0 percent) from 3-point range in his last five games. He's only made 18 of 52 (34.6) inside the arc, though.
Mike Dunleavy, the team's other biggest 3-point threat, is questionable after sitting out Wednesday with a knee injury.
While they were one of the league's biggest surprises early in the season, the Bobcats have fallen on hard times with six losses in seven games.
Charlotte dropped its fifth in a row since equaling last season's win total when J.R. Smith hit a fadeaway jumper as time expired to give the Knicks a 100-98 victory Wednesday.
Kemba Walker, however, will try to carry over his hot shooting after finishing with 25 points and matching a career high with 11 assists against New York.
Walker, the team's leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, has 47 points in his last two games, but is averaging just 11.7 points on 30.9 percent shooting on the road.
Ben Gordon has also heated up, averaging 22.8 points while shooting 21 of 31 from 3-point range in his last four games after finishing with 17 and hitting three 3-pointers versus New York.
Charlotte, 27th in the NBA in field-goal percentage (41.8), has shown improvement recently with a 46.9 shooting percentage and a 28 of 60 (46.7) effort from beyond the arc in its last three games.
"We're playing everyone tough," coach Mike Dunlap said. "We're just not getting the results right now, but there's no reason to be down about this thing."
Ramon Sessions, who hurt the Bucks with 23 points in the first meeting, looks to break out of a 16 for 51 (31.4 percent) shooting slump.
The Bobcats snapped a two-game losing streak to the Bucks with their earlier win in Charlotte, but they're 1-13 all-time in Milwaukee.
