Season Report Card: Ben Gordon

  PER PER Against (Net) Ben Gordon 12.74 17.54 (-4.8)

Strengths: He can shoot. That’s about it. But that’s obviously still a valuable NBA skill, so a tip of the cap to The Scottish Terrier (my nickname for him for many years – you know he looks like one). Gordon [...]

Season Report Card: Ramon Sessions

PER PER Against (Net) Ramon Sessions 17.80 15.00 (+2.8)

Strengths: Getting to the rim in transition and in the half court is Sessions’ specialty — there are few players in the league who I’ve seen blitz the rim on a dead sprint like Sessions does. It ends in a lot of trips to [...]

Season Report Card: Jeff Adrien

PER PER Against (Net) Jeff Adrien 13.39 16.49 (-3.1)

Strengths: Well, his strength. Literally, Adrien is very strong and can body up with most players in this league around the basket. He moves very well, is fairly quick for his size and has good lateral quickness — combine that to go with [...]

Season Report Card: Jeff Taylor

 

  PER PER Against (Net) Jeff Taylor 10.33 17.23 (-6.9)

Strengths: Taylor showed the ability to hit the NBA three at a decent clip (.344 on 154 attempts) and at times demonstrated the skills that at some point in the (hopefully near) future may enable him to be a plus [...]

Season Report Card: Bismack Biyombo

PER PER Against (Net) Bismack Biyombo 10.07 16.77 (-6.7)

Strengths: The one outlying strength for Biyombo at this point in his young career is his shot blocking ability. Bismack averaged 1.8 BPG this season, which was the same as last season. So, there wasn’t any vast improvement in that area, [...]

Season Report Card: Gerald Henderson

PER PER Against (Net) Gerald Henderson 16.48 15.28 (+1.2)

Strengths: Hendo’s biggest strength continues to be his ability to create his own shot — especially his own jump shot. The majority of his shot attempts continue to be from ‘mid-range’ — this season Hendo attempted 47.9% of his shots from [...]

Next stop — Quick glance at NBA Draft

The Bobcats have completed the 2012-2013 regular season and as the dust begins to settle it appears as if Charlotte took no steps backwards, but likely made some slight ground on the rebuilding process. Next stop — June 27th draft.

Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Bismack Biyombo and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is pretty much how a [...]
