    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bobcats rookie Adam Morrison made his first start since Jan. 5, and that was all about injuries.

    Derek Anderson (sprained ankle) couldn't go, and Brevin Knight (torn abdominal muscle) was scratched about 11/2 hours before tip-off.

    Had Knight been available, coach Bernie Bickerstaff would have started a backcourt of Raymond Felton and Jeff McInnis. But with Knight unavailable as backup point guard, Bickerstaff needed McInnis off the bench.</div>

    He's been a huge disappointment this season. His shooting percentages are just awful, 37% from the field, 30% from 3.[​IMG]

    His percentages will probably improve as he gains a season's worth of experience. That's what happens to a lot of rookies. However, it doesn't look like his play's justified such a high selection.

    As bad as his shooting may be you still have to give him a chance it's the only way he is going to get better as for me i hope he does well as he does have a lot of critics out there
