    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Burleson, a 6-3, 190-pound guard appeared in six games with the Bobcats summer league team during the 2005 Rocky Mountain Revue in Utah, averaging 3.8 points in 12.2 minutes.

    "Kevin is a big guard who can defend both positions on the perimeter," said Bickerstaff. "We liked the effort he put forth during summer league play and wanted to take a second look at him."

    Brother of Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Nate Burleson, he played the 2004-05 season in Germany for the Walter Tigers, averaging 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 30 games. He posted six 20-plus points games, including a season-high 27 points against the Giessen 46ers on March 5, 2005. </div>

    This has to be the nail in the coffin for Keith Bogans being back with the Bobcats.

    Who? I really don't like the moves the Bobcats have been making this offseason. Why continue to sign young players who have never played in the NBA? Unproven. Why not go out and sign young players who have played and are proven? Doesn't make any sense. I liked Bogans and I hope to see him back on the team next season.

    As for this guy, I wonder if he'll even be on the roster by the time the regular season begins. With that said, I don't think the door is shut yet for Bogans.
