    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHARLOTTE ? Adam Morrison says it without hesitation.

    He?s a Charlottean now.

    ?I?m ... looking for a house,? Morrison said last week after he modeled the Charlotte Bobcats? new blue alternate road uniforms at the team?s new uptown arena practice gymnasium. ?And I?ve already got a Realtor, so you don?t need to call and I?ll be alright.?

    Morrison begins his first NBA training camp in six weeks. But it?ll come after a whirlwind summer as the team?s newest marquee player.

    It actually began in the spring, when he forsook his final year of eligibility at Gonzaga to make himself eligible for the NBA draft. After being chosen No. 3 overall by the Bobcats, he?s taken part in a rookie camp, a rookie league and unsuccessfully tried out for the United States World Championship team that?s currently playing in Japan.

    ?It?s been a good experience and it has been a fast summer,? Morrison said. ?But I?m just looking to get ready for the season.?</div>

    I'm very excited to see how Morrison does this season. We finally get a good scorer and 3pt shooter.

    ^ Not to mention someone who isn't scared to shoot in the last minute. We always had problems holding on to leads, and we never had that one go-to guy.

    ^One of the big things I like about the guy. He isn`t afraid to shoot the ball, dribble, rebound, anything.

    Adam Morrison=SF Version of Iverson. He'll actually have the results of Bickerstaff keeps up this GM-OF-THE-YR job he's doing. (By the SF Version of Iverson quote, I mean a fearless leader. Morrison is fearless, he's a winner)

    He is going to be a great addition to the Cat's. They really needed a Shooter and he is going to be there guy. Hopefully they can start winning some games. And, continue to bring in talent and devolop. Then they will be set to really make a run in the playoffs. Or making any serious threats.

    So for Bobcats fans, do you see him starting? I know they used a double point guard look for awhile with Felton and Knight, will they ditch that?

    I'm gonna say he'll start, I'm just not sure who will be sent to the bench, Raymond or Brevin... I'm thinking:

    PG- Raymond Felton
    SG- Adam Morrison
    SF- Gerald Wallace
    PF- Emeka Okafor
    C- Primoz Brezec

    Not too shabby... some of the best collegiate players of the last few years, I think they'll be fun to watch...

    i agree with your lineup flashback, thats who i would have starting. but despite all their talent, i believe they will have another underpar season. my guess is that after this season, they'll get another high draft pick, and have ther "breakout" season in 2007-2008.

    Nah I think they can improve this season. I'll say a 35 win season, they showed some promising signs last season, and did decent with setbacks through injury etc.
