Right now the Charlotte Bobcats have no picks in the June 24 draft. Don't be surprised if that changes between now and draft night. I'm at the NBA's draft combine in Chicago, and I hear the Bobcats are at least subtly investigating what it would cost to trade in -- maybe late into the first round, but more realistically into the second. If they do acquire a pick -- and it's not that hard to trade into the second round -- a name to keep in mind is Alabama point guard Mikhail Torrance. Torrance said at a media session today that he's scheduled for a job interview here with Bobcats management. That makes some sense. He's a big kid for his position -- roughly 6-5 -- who can play some at either guard spot but has demonstrated the decision-making and defense to be a pro point guard. Bobcats coach Larry Brown likes to have at least one reserve point guard who is big and can slide over to shooting guard in a pinch. Torrance roughly fits that description and with Raymond Felton entering unrestricted free-agency, this team isn't as deep at the point as it once appeared. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 附上 Mikhail Torrance 资料 http://www.nbadraft.net/players/mikhail-torrance # Birthday: 9/30/88 # NBA Position: PG/SG # Class: Senior # Ht: 6-5 # Wt: 210 NBA Comparison: Marcus Williams/Shaun Livingston (smaller) Strengths: A multi-talented combo guard who has shown the ability to run a team on a full time basis … He has been asked to play both of the guard positions in his senior season and he has preformed extremely well … Handles the ball comfortably and has good change of direction moves that allow him to get to the basket ... Has terrific length and size as a playmaker and is able to use them both when finishing at the basket or to see overtop of the defense ... He is a solid shooter, showing the ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc with his feet set ... Also comfortable shooting off the dribble, he elevates extremely well and is able to pull up with very good rhythm … He doesn't settle from the outside, but looks to get into the paint both in the half court and in transition ... A good athlete with an aggressive approach, he can get to the basket and finish strong or draw contact … He is not afraid of sacrificing his body and he has a knack for drawing fouls … Has a natural ability to find open teammates with pinpoint passing ... A crafty distributor and playmaker, he is very good at forcing the defense to rotate and making passes once he gets into the gaps … Has a good mix of tools to defend both guard positions successfully … Weaknesses: Even though he shoots the ball right handed from the outside, he plays like a left handed player and is uncomfortable dribbling the ball or finishing at the basket with his right hand … He becomes predictable because he will look to switch the ball to his left hand even in situations when a right handed finish is the most high percentage shot … A very streaky shooter, he needs to get into a rhythm before he can make shots … He shoots slightly off balance and with low arc, making it hard for him to get favorable bounces on the rim ... He is an extremely turnover prone player, he goes too fast too often and tends to force passes that have no chance of being completed ... Needs to become better at controlling tempo and seeing the numbers before attacking in transition … As a defender he needs to become more disciplined and focused on preventing penetration … -- 快攻!! ◢█◣ ▉▉▉ ◢█◣ ██◣ ◢█◣ █▊◣ ◣ ○__ █▅▅ ▊▊▉ █▅▅ █▋█ █▅▅ ▊██ ▉ /█ ▅█◤ ◥█◤ █▅▅ ██◤ █▅▅ ▊█◤ ◤ ╯\ )) ● nyctenvoy --
