DJ is a Bobcat

[That's Right]

Congrats DJ

Poor D.J. Now he has to put up with Larry Brown.

Supposedly, DJ is the shortest player ever to be selected in the lottery.

Congrats DJ. You are wanted by MJ.

crazy...

Never expected that one. I guess the Bobcats feel they can get a good big (Hibbert?) at 20.

Either that, or they were picking for Portland....good chance of this too. God I hope so...

 

[Texas Wahoo]

The Bobcats select non - UNC players? Who knew

 

[UnBiased Horn]

very curious pick since Bobcats already have Felton , a top 5 PG just 3 years ago and they really needed a big

 

[That's Right]

Dj is better than Felton. Hopefully the Bobcats pick up SOC's Darrell Arthur next....

 

[That's Right]

Another foreign project...... Oh well..

I'd bet they shop Felton around, DJ is a much better player and Felton is wasting cap.

 

[El Torito]

Felton is as good as gone. Congrats to DJ for going a bit higher than many projected.

 

[Ramathorn]

Shortest lottery player? Man, he towers over Stern. I'd bet he's close in height to AI. Very close.

 

[jimmyjazz]

Aren't DJ and TJ both "officially" 6' 0" tall? I bet TJ is shorter.

Huge surprise but I am very happy to see him go to MJ!!

Bill Simmons called DJ a "career backup" in his draft diary. I know, I know ... consider the source.

He didn't play on a Texas team with him, so they shouldn't have referred to him as a former teammate. But Lamarcus was one of the guys who worked out with the team during the offseason, so he probably knows DJ's game very well from that standpoint.

This is great. I either wanted the Sonics or the Bobcats to get them. The bobcats are a good young team that need help at the point. Raymond Felton and earl Boykins(who is the shortest player in the NBA) are the the PG's. Raymong and DJ could take this team to its first playoff birth ever next year.

good luck dj!!!

Hopefully DJ can bring to the Bobcats what Paul brought to the Hornets.

I am not sure about their 2nd selection. Dude is tall and long as hell but they said he wasn't even a factor in the Euro league he is in. If they wnated to go big they could have easily gotten Koufos, Arthur, or White who were all drafted right behind him.

Goes to a team that hasn't won 35 games in last 4 years. They have a good core with Felton, Okafor, and Richardson. They needed more size and I think Ajinca is a gamble.

Damon Stoudemire was/is shorter.
