Which of these statistical accomplishments would you rather see from one of our players during a game in the month of December?

assume the accomplishment happens during a win.

which of these would be the best thing that could happen in terms of showing that one of our players has taken their game to the next level.

which would make you feel the best about the direction of the team?

which player would a game like this help the most?

Zeller. He's looking like a certified bust right now. A 25-15-5 game would go a long way towards suggesting otherwise.

I voted for 'Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: 30 points, 15 rebounds and lock down defense on a star'. If MKG could reach that level of confidence, Charlotte could become a championship contender sooner than later

That's a tough question because at this point really any of those would be beneficial for the team.

To narrow it down, I would knock off Henderson, Taylor, and Kemba:
1. Getting that from Henderson just wouldn't mean much for me to the future of the franchise going down the road. Though give me a few of those and then at his contract it becomes a valuable trade piece.

2. It would be nice to see Taylor shoot that way, but then if he does he gets more minutes which means more minutes on defense and one guy shooting 3s well on our roster doesn't really do much for our team. You need a few that do it well to consider it a weapon.

3. I take Kemba off, mostly because I don't think that is something sustainable for him. That might not fit in this question and obviously the rest are not sustainable for anyone, but I just don't see him anywhere near that kind of player. I don't think seeing that out of him really shows anything for his future.

The last 3 are Biz, Zeller, and MKG:
1. For Biz it would definitely show that he has become more confident on offense and not a liability. I would really like to see that out of him because he has definitely improved this year no matter what stats or what say. The eye test shows he has improved so to have that game would really show that the work he puts in is paying off and it is not pointless and that can be huge for someone.

2. A Zeller game like that would definitely make you feel that the rookie is finally starting to come on. Any life out of him would be nice because then you know that he is capable of that. His confidence expands, you can start to play him more over McRoberts and a lot with Big Al in the high low. It would give our offense a little more balance.

3. After typing and thinking this out I really didn't think I would choose MKG. Maybe I decided to choose him because he is my favorite player and I freaked out when we drafted him because I really thought and heard from people that it was Thomas Robinson so I am emotionally invested in him. He has done somewhat of that before. He has 25 points a couple of times and 14 boards once. So we know he is capable of those stats, but I think having put it all together in one game, especially say it is against a good playoff contender, it can really increase his confidence on the offensive end which this team desperately needs. I think him having a game like this can boost his career and he is the key to the direction of this Bobcats team. We need him to become a star. No one else on this roster can take this team where it needs to go like he can. He is more important to this franchise than anyone else and a game like that could hopefully springboard him to a fantastic career as a Bobcat and help this franchise reach it's potential.

MKG had a couple of 25 and 12 games last season, including one in a win against Dallas. He's still wildly inconsistent as a scorer, which I don't see changing because of one more super-impressive game.

I might choose Taylor after Zeller, because I feel a 40-point game with seven 3s could give him the confidence boost that he needs.

Definitely Biyombo going 20,15,and 10. Him scoring 20 would be amazing.

Triple double from Biyombo.

Like LP said, I'd just love to see him score 20.

I chose Zeller because it would make me feel like he has that upside. But seeing Biz put up those numbers would be fun.
