    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Since were all family here, it?s best I share yet another tidbit learned while working the phones. One of the hot rumors floating around is that the Charlotte Bobcats might be interested in snagging another point guard from this year?s draft class (sources say the Bobcats love Ray Felton but fear he isn?t the distributor they need if they?re going to take the next step). That would seriously change the landscape for the Hawks at No. 11 if they choose to go big with their first pick and gamble on the point guard they want being available at No. 11.</div>

    Eh? They could just sign a PG through Free Agency.

    We need a Center or a SG that can be a big time scorer.

    Judging by their past history of drafting guys that came off of championship teams I say they go with either Brewer or Noah.

    What about Brevin Knight? He's argubally the second best distributor in the league behind Steve Nash, just need him to be healthy.

    no NTC he isnt, JKidd is, then its Deron Williams then Chris Paul then Andre Miller. knight also getting old and is just too small to compete at the level of the guys ive listed above. but it seems kind of stupid that the cats would be giving up on felton this soon, i dont beleive this guy one bit.

    I think you'll find he is, he ranked second behind Steve Nash in APG during the 2005/2006 season and in 2004/2005 if I can remember rightly. He just has too many injury troubles. The numbers dont always tell the full story anyway.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting NTC:</div><div class="quote_post">The numbers dont always tell the full story anyway.</div>

    Exactly just because he averaged the 2nd most APG doesn't mean he's the league's 2nd best distributer.

    ^ You can't underrate him though. He's certainly not surrounded by the talent Nash is, and if he can put up similar assist numbers it says something about his ability to distribute the ball.

    ...that doesnt make sense, Kobe ranked first in PPG with an average of 31ppg this season, is he not the best scorer in the league? [​IMG]

    Brevin Knight doesnt garner enough credit due to his "underground" status, but he is one of the best distributors of the ball in this league, and I honestly think the second best after Steve Nash.

    Yeah, it's saying something when you have 9 APG on an expansion team with Okafor and Gerald Wallace as your main scoring options. He is no doubt one of the best distributors in the league.

    Expansion year BK was the only player on our team capeable of handling the ball and got almost every assist. Check the stats I guarentee there wasn't another Bobcat that averaged over 3 apg. Next year Felton spent the whole year learning or playing from the 2 guard spot. This year Felton takes over and BK's apg dropps granted he was injured the whole season.

    I'm not saying he's not a good pg it's just crazy to think BK is better then Kidd, Paul, Williams, and or any other top PG you want to name. Hell I wouldn't even call him the best PG on our team

    Brevin Knight is a great PG considering how old he is and still doing well. I really don't see the Bobcats drafting a PG probably someone like Corey Brewer or Horford if able to take him. Joakim Noah would not be a good fit.
