|
| |  | 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 . . . BYRON MULLENS never saw a shot he didn't like. He'll get one more chance to prove he's an NBA rotation player, able to play the four or five . . . DeSAGANA DIOP is doing those things that DeSagana Diop does. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL hasn't developed much diversity in his offensive game, but he's still really fast and an effective distributor. The improved supporting cast should help him reach the next level, assuming he feels no ill effects from the stress injury in his left knee that will keep him out until late November . . . BRADLEY BEAL is a great shooter, but he can also score off the dribble. Throw in his rebounding ability from the backcourt, and he should contribute in a number of ways as a rookie . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD is a pure scorer, but not an efficient one. He won't be able to hold off Beal for long, if at all . . . A.J. PRICE steps in as Wall's top backup. He'll play limited minutes with the second unit . . . SHELVIN MACK will be battling for a roster spot, most likely with underachieving swingman MARTELL WEBSTER. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA should have no trouble stepping into the starting lineup. He'll at least have a chance to re-find his three-point shot getting drive-and-dish feeds from Wall . . . Nene^ will slide to the four with Emeka Okafor coming in. That means athletic, but raw, JAN VESELY will have to play with the second unit. He can really run the floor, but doesn't help much in the half-court game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a very good screener on offense who holds his own defensively and on the boards. He still has a chance for a handful of starts if Nene^ or Okafor get hurt . . . CHRIS SINGLETON started a lot of games last year, but the defensive specialist will likely spend this season learning behind Ariza . . . CARTIER MARTIN never saw a shot he didn't like. CENTERS: NENE^ had some trouble with plantar fasciitis last year and playing in the Olympics didn't help. If healthy, he has a chance to be Washington's leading scorer . . . EMEKA OKAFOR will start alongside Nene^. He's the fifth-best option on offense, but holds his own defensively . . . KEVIN SERAPHIN has proven he can hold down a starting job. He'll come off the bench but should still have a significant role. |

*Bobcats-Wizards Preview* =========================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Charlotte (13-48) at Washington (19-40), 8:00 p.m. EDT
With their second victory over the Washington Wizards, the Charlotte Bobcats matched last season's win total just 12 games into 2012-13.
Fifty games later, the league-worst Bobcats still haven't doubled that amount.
Charlotte will try to defeat an opponent three times in a season for the first time since 2010-11 on Saturday night in the nation's capital.
After going 7-59 and finishing with the worst winning percentage (.106) in league history last season, the Bobcats (13-49) improved to 7-5 on Nov. 24 when they defeated the host Wizards (19-41) 108-106 in double-overtime.
Charlotte snapped a five-game skid in this series 11 days earlier with a 92-76 home win.
Any good feelings or promise brought by the Bobcats' quick start are now long gone, as they've lost 44 of 50 since their last meeting with Washington.
Charlotte is carrying a nine-game skid into this contest after getting routed 116-94 by Oklahoma City on Friday. The last eight defeats have been by double-digit margins, and the Bobcats have allowed an average of 109.2 points on 52.1 percent shooting while being outrebounded by 11.3 per game overall during this slide.
The Bobcats, whose last two wins in 16 road games both came at Orlando, will now face a Wizards team that's won 11 of 15 at home.
Washington, though, has dropped four of five following back-to-back road losses - both played without rookie guard Bradley Beal, who is day-to-day with a sprained left ankle suffered in Sunday's 90-87 home win over Philadelphia.
Beal posted his first career double-double on Nov. 24 with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Wizards definitely could have used the athletic guard on the defensive end in a 95-78 loss to Brooklyn on Friday when they surrendered 11 3-pointers to Deron Williams, who hit nine of those in the opening 24 minutes - a league record for a half - when he equaled Washington's point total of 33.
The last player to equal or surpass an opponents' first-half total was Tracy McGrady on March 9, 2003, when he outscored Denver 37-32.
"It was just a hell of a shooting display," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
The Bobcats have seen a few of those lately, as their six opponents are averaging 11.2 3s.
Wizards point guard John Wall, 1 for 17 from beyond the arc this season, will get his first look at Charlotte this season after missing the November matchups with a knee injury.
Ramon Sessions led the Bobcats with 42 points in those games, but he's out 2-4 weeks with a with second degree MCL sprain in his left knee. Without Sessions, the team will have to keep an eye on leading scorer Kemba Walker's minutes. The second-year point guard played 31 minutes through three quarters on Friday before little-used Reggie Williams took over with the game out of reach.
"I know (Kemba is) dealing with heavier bodies (than in college at Connecticut) and a much longer season, but he's got great stamina," coach Mike Dunlap said. "We'll try and spell him as best as we can."
Walker is averaging 11.7 points on 29.1 percent shooting in the last five games since scoring 24 or more in four straight.
The Bobcats, who had two wins versus Toronto last season, had four victories against the Raptors and three against the Nets in 2010-11.
