10 Bold Predictions for the year

[mrknowitall215]

1. The Bobcats will exceed the current Vegas Over/Under odds of 19.5 wins.

2. Kemba Walker will solidify his starting spot as the future PG in Charlotte.

3. Gerald Henderson will have a parallel or slightly less productive effort than the 2011-2012 season.

4. Ben Gordon will lead the team in scoring.

5. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will be named to All-Rookie 2nd Team behind a solid season.

6. Byron Mullens statistical boost will be used by Rich Cho to make a blockbuster-like trade at the deadline for a player a la DeMarcus Cousins or Josh Smith.

7. Bismack Biyombo will continue to progress at a minimal rate, but he will have a strong finish to the season.

8. Tyrus Thomas will have sporadic results in improvement, but not enough to make him a asset via trade.

9. Jeffery Taylor will average less than 12 minutes per game.

10. The Bobcats will defeat at least one of either the Lakers or Heat during the regular season.

I got #1, #2, #3, #5, and #7 right. I guess 5 out of 10 bold predictions isn't bad

[MKGsMotor]

1. We will deal a pick before next draft and acquire a current or former all star
2. Al Jefferson will average a double double
3. Biyombo's averages will all decrease slightly.
4. A Bobcat will win most improved player
5. Cody Zeller will become a regular on Sports Center highlights
6. A Bobcat will make the all-star team
7. Jeff Taylor will seriously compete with Henderson for the starting spot
8. Bobcats will miss the playoffs by 5 or less games
9. Bobcats will deal 3 players before or at the trade deadline
10. Bobcats will move up in the draft lottery.

1. We will deal a pick before next draft and acquire a current or former all star

Rod Higgins is still part of this organization. I fully expect a DET pick for Mo Williams trade.

[HornetJail]

1) Al Jefferson goes back to his Minnesota days and averages a cool 20/10.

2) Biyombo has to fight for minutes, but he makes major strides defensively, while managing to be in the top 5 in blocks per 36.

3) Kemba makes the all-star team due to an injury to one of Irving, Rose, or Williams and simply outplays Wall and big-3-less Rondo. Kemba also nails three game-winners and averages 18/8 for the season on much better percentages.

4) Ben Gordon magically becomes serviceable in his contract year and Taylor is stuck behind Hendo, Gordon, and MKG.

5) McRoberts gets a lot of minutes at backup SF.

6) MKG and Zeller make two of the top 10 dunks of the season.

7) Henderson not only shows us that his last two months of play weren't a fluke, but he actually improves on it.

8) One of Kemba, Hendo, or Jefferson sets a new team record for points in a game (topping 44 points).

9) We make a mid-season trade with a low-tier team to help us make the playoffs and we actually make it, ultimately getting obliterated by the Heat, but we steal a game.

10) Detroit conveys our pick and it's in the lottery.

[lmcguir5]

1.) Steve Clifford wins coach of the year as the bobcats just barely snag the 8 seed

2.) MKG or Hendo wins league's most improved player award

3.) Al Jefferson averages 20/11, proving his contract to be worth every cent

4.) Kemba sets new career highs for PER, and assists/gm

5.) The Bobcats get both the Detroit pick and the Portland pick and packages them for a top 6 draft pick

6.) Rod Higgins steps down as President of Basketball Operations

7.) Ramon Sessions or Ben Gordon is traded midseason

8.) Henderson shoots 36% or better from behind the arc this season, continuing his upward trend

9.) Bismack Biyombo averages 2.0 blks/gm, 8rpg or better even though he will have decreased playing time

10.) The Bobcats finish top 12 in points allowed per game

i will try to be a little more positive this year

1. either kemba or hendo will have a 40pt game this year
2. zeller will be 1st team all rookie (not very bold prediction)
3. ben gordon will be traded
4. kemba will be invited to the skills challenge
5. one bobcat will get arrested
6. one bobcat will ask for a trade
7. the hornets logo/unis will bring mixed reactions because they decided to alter the colors and logo slightly
8. kemba will be player of the week at least once
9. jefferson will average a career high in assists (>2.2)
10. mkg will hit at least 15 3s.

I'd take UPS back over Adrien, Tolliver, and Southerland right now. I want him as our 5th forward behind MKG, Zeller, McBob, and Taylor.
