<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">News flash: Emeka Okafor plays five-on-five. It's been so long since Okafor, the Charlotte Bobcats' star power forward, played, his team must have forgotten he wears No. 50. There was Okafor on the first night of summer practice, in a jersey with no number on his back. He pronounced his severely sprained right ankle healthy after nearly six months of rehabilitation. This was his first five-on-five scrimmage, and he expects to practice this week with the summer-league team. "This was the first day and I wasn't really as crisp as I wanted to be," Okafor said. "It wasn't really bothering me," he said. "I'm just getting it even stronger, so I can go for a long time." Okafor won't play next week in Orlando, Fla., summer-league games. Sean May (knee surgery) will play, and says he's healed. "It feels great,'' he said. Notes ? Second-round pick Ryan Hollins from UCLA needs to work on his strength and skills, but Okafor saw the guy is an athlete."He has that make-believe hop," Okafor said of Hollins' graceful jumping ability. "You just don't see that -- 7-footers don't get up that way, with that ease.'' ? Point guard Raymond Felton was under no obligation to practice this week, but he showed up for Monday's scrimmage. ? Charlotte 49er Curtis Withers and UNC Wilmington's Brett Blizzard are in Bobcats summer camp. Blizzard hasn't lost his shooting touch. Withers was thrown in against Okafor, a tough assignment for anyone.</div> Source It's great to see that Okafor is finally healthy. If he stays healthy for most of the season, Bobcats should fare better, along with Morrison/Wallace/Felton.
Hollins should be a great shot blocker. Blizzard is an excellent shooter, I saw him play Indiana in the NCAA tournament and he looked pretty good.
Yeah Hollins has the potential to end up being a great Center in the future, possibly the eventual starting Center.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Adam Morrison:</div><div class="quote_post">He sure is more athletic than Brezec.</div> Though that isn't saying much.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">Though that isn't saying much.</div> Lol, no it isn't. Is Voskuhl any good? I have never seen him play. (I'm a new Charlotte fan, remember.)
Bobcats have such an underrated and unnoticed roster it isn't funny. Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton, Sean May, and Emeka Okafor are 4 players that are no joke. Add on Morrison and.....wow is all I'm going to say. When this team matures they will be a site to see.

Once Emeka is 100% and gets back to what he was doing, like his rookie season 15 and 11. That should be nice, along with the development of the younger players.
