<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Paul's style of play is attracting NBA interest. He worked out last week for the Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Hornets -- teams with picks in the draft's top five. The Bobcats pick No. 5 and may have to trade up if they want to get Paul. Paul's court persona "hasn't seemed to discourage any teams from showing interest in him," Prosser said. "From a strictly basketball standpoint, his ability to create offense, for others and himself [is attractive to NBA teams]." Bobcats coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said he cares about Paul's production, not how he acts while he's producing. "I think all we should care about are his skills," Bickerstaff said. "If you go through the composition of a team, most guys have different personalities. To me it's not the personality, it's what you do [on the court]." While he prepared for the draft, Paul worked out in Washington, D.C., and had a chance to compete against Washington Wizards guards Gilbert Arenas and Steve Blake. Blake, like Paul, is a smallish point guard who plays with a little bit of attitude. "I worked out with him once a couple of weeks ago and was impressed," Blake said. "He is young and talented, and is going to be a success in the league. [But] making the jump from college to the NBA, he is going to have to get used to playing against players who are bigger and talented." Blake said Paul will have to find a way to weave his aggressive playing style into the NBA. "It's a learning process that every point guard goes through his rookie season," Blake said. "But it's something that I think he will be able to learn from and adapt to."</div> Source
