|
| | | 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. | | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON KNIGHT slides into Brandon Jennings' point guard slot, but he's a much different player. Knight hasn't proven capable of running the point, and may eventually settle in as an undersized shooter . . . O.J. MAYO will be the focal point of this offense. He should build on his career-best year in Dallas . . . GARY NEAL will give them some instant offense as a sixth man . . . LUKE RIDNOUR provides Knight insurance, and the ability to play either guard spot. He should fit nicely alongside Mayo for stretches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON could crack the rotation as a capable defender with upside as a shooter . . . Second-rounder NATE WOLTERS must knock down jumpers if he's going to get off the bench. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA will once again have to earn his starter's minutes, as the Bucks have loaded up on quality frontcourt depth. He provides more offense than anyone else on the front line . . . CARON BUTLER should start at small forward for this team after freeing himself before ever having to play in Phoenix . . . CARLOS DELFINO will play a key role scoring off the bench. He's a streaky long-range gunner, but defends well enough to stay on the court . . . JOHN HENSON is on the verge of a breakout as an elite rebounder and shot-blocker. He's still a bit behind offensively, which could hold him back in a crowded post rotation . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO was the most intriguing project in a weak draft, but the teenager is nowhere near ready for NBA action. He'll likely see time in the D-League until the second half of the season. CENTERS: We've loved LARRY SANDERS for years, and last year showed why. He's a Defensive POY candidate with a budding offensive game . . . ZAZA PACHULIA reunites with head coach Larry Drew as muscle off the bench . . . EKPE UDOH is likely on the outside looking in for this rotation. |

*Bobcats-Bucks Preview* =======================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Charlotte (6-6) at Milwaukee (2-8), 8:30 p.m. EDT
The Milwaukee Bucks are on their longest losing streak in almost five years.
A meeting with the Charlotte Bobcats should change that.
The Bucks attempt to snap their seven-game slide by continuing their dominance of the Bobcats at home Saturday night.
Milwaukee (2-9) concluded 2007-08 with an eight-game losing streak, and the team's current skid is the longest since. It seemed headed for an end Friday at Philadelphia, but the Bucks squandered a 10-point lead in the final 2:10 of regulation and lost 115-107 in overtime.
"Yeah, I thought the game was in our control," forward Caron Butler said. "But we haven't developed a winning brand of basketball yet."
They certainly have at home against the Bobcats (6-7).
The Bucks are 15-1 all-time at home against Charlotte, winning 10 in a row while scoring 103.1 points per game. It's their longest streak against any opponent since reeling off 14 straight victories versus Chicago from Feb. 17, 1999-March 5, 2005.
Ersan Ilyasova was the unexpected star of Milwaukee's two home victories over the Bobcats last season. The forward totaled 43 points and 20 rebounds while hitting 6 of 7 from 3-point range in those matchups, but managed just 14 points and eight boards in a pair of road defeats.
He hit all four attempts from long range while scoring 22 points in a 131-102 victory April 1 - the most recent home matchup with Charlotte.
Ilyasova is averaging 10.6 points and 4.2 rebounds while a sore right ankle has limited him to five games this season. He may have put that injury behind him Friday, scoring a season-high 19 points with six boards, six assists and three steals.
Caron Butler is also coming off his best performance of the season, scoring 38 points with eight rebounds and three steals against Philadelphia. That came two days after the forward was held to nine points in a 91-82 loss to Portland, in his return from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for two games.
The Bobcats have lost three of four, averaging 87.0 points on 39.2 percent from the floor. They're trying to bounce back from a 98-91 defeat to Phoenix on Friday.
Having a healthy Al Jefferson could help.
A sprained right ankle has limited Jefferson to four games after joining the Bobcats from Utah via free agency last summer. He returned from his latest bout with the injury Friday, scoring nine points with six boards.
The forward is averaging 13.5 points and 8.0 rebounds.
"We have to learn to play off Al," first-year coach Steve Clifford said. "We have to be able to get him the ball. Again, that's not an easy thing. Post-up basketball, as I've said before, is the hardest thing to get good at."
Jefferson, though, isn't concerned.
"I think it's just a matter of game reps," he said. "(But) it's not something I'm panicking about."
Perhaps a meeting with the Bucks can get him untracked since he's averaging 21.3 points and 10.3 rebounds over his last four matchups.
Kemba Walker is scoring 20.3 points per game in the past three visits to Milwaukee. He had 27 on 8 for 11 from the floor April 1.
