The Bobcats drafted Brandan Wright over Noah. We aren't going to go into their long list of terrible selections...Wright, Morrison, Sean May...and the list keeps going. The Bobcats aren't terrible because they haven't had a higher draft choice, they are terrible because they've been piss poor at drafting. Some of the talent they have by-pass to draft the "best available talent" instead of need could of had them fighting for a 5th seed in the East.

Kemba isn't a "combo guard" he is a pure PG with very good play making skills, why not draft Klay Thompson who doesn't defend and struggles to create his own shot? Seems simply enough to me, he's a role player. DJ had shown signs of at best being a average at PG, Kemba has much higher upside than DJ who they frankly should trade for a late first rounder if they can.
