My take on theCharlotte Bobcats

I think this team has 2 options to improve.

1. Play more Zone Defense
Tyson Chandler is similar to somewhat Marcus Camby. Moves well, jumps, blocks, agile but not a banger. But plays well next to a banger similar to Camby. Camby played next to Kurt Thomas, Chris Kaman, Chris Anderson.
Tyson was effective when he played next to a big body named David West.
Playing next to Boris Diaw doesn't help either players. They are both better at swooping in from the weakside. Diaw grew up playing soccer, not playing macho street ball in the US. Tough rugged is not in his genes.
Both are long, anticipates plays, agile and I am sure can play passing lanes. They are better suited for zone defenses. Plus, they can't guard anybody man to man anyways.

My bet is that Larry Brown won't let them do that since he's too stubborn.


2. Move Diaw to the point, play Mohammed in the 4 spot.
I am serious. Felton won the NCAA tournament by blitizing to the basket in lighting speed. Ask what Larry Brown thinks about that offense.
Diaw can run the point and become a poor man's Magic Johnson. Trust me, he is a key playmaker for the French national team and does bring the ball up.
This will also shore up the rebounding whole they have right now and enable Wallace to fill the lanes more on the break and will improve Chandler's play.
Also when the offense is stagnant, just have Boris back his way to the rim for a height advantage post up or a kick out from the double team.
He won't do any magic on the fast break, but Larry Brown doesn't let you run so much so what's the difference.
This lineup also does wonders for the zone defense. Imagine a 2-3 zone with Diaw and Jackson up front. I'm sure they can cover a lot of space and rebound effectively as well.
It also does Felton good too.
When they need a change of pace, when they need to run, it's time for Felton. He'll know what's expected from him and he can play to his strengths.

In short, Larry Brown has to coach according to his personell, not have the players adjust to his style.
He blew it in NY that way. Don't do it again.
