Charlotte Bobcats
2008-09 Record: 35-47
Anticipated Starting Five
PG- D.J. Augustin
SG- Raja Bell
SF- Gerald Wallace
PF- Boris Diaw
C- Tyson Chandler
Key Reserves: Raymond Felton (unsigned RFA), Gerald Henderson, Vlad Radmanovic, Sagana Diop
Biggest Strength: Defense
Larry Brown teams play defense. This team however actually has some defenders to execute pretty well. Bell is a career defender, Wallace is an athletic wing defender, all Chandler does is defense and rebound and rookie Gerald Henderson will play tough defense as well. This is there key to winning any games.
By swapping Okafor for Chandler you got much worse offensively from an individual standpoint in the front court. Both Okafor and Chandler shoot about the same from the field and line but Chandler needs gift wrapped passes at the rim to score whereas Okafor can get you a basket himself.
That just puts even more emphasis on playing tough, consistent defense.
