    From ESPN

    Round 1: Raymond Felton, PG, North Carolina (No. 5)

    Round 1: Sean May, PF, North Carolina (No. 13)

    Round 2: None

    Analysis: Bernie Bickerstaff played it safe and went with two local college stars who will contribute right away and generate ticket sales.

    But did Bickerstaff play it too safe? He passed on players with more upside at No. 5 and it's unclear how May will fit alongside Emeka Okafor, Primoz Brezec and Melvin Ely on the front line.

    As with last year's bold move to No. 2, they could have traded the No. 5 and No. 13 picks to the Blazers to get their hands on local favorite Chris Paul, who brings more to the floor than Felton and May combined. Instead, the Bobcats are merely filling the team with solid players with good backgrounds.

    After drafting in the top five its first two years, Charlotte is still a franchise that needs a true superstar to build the team around.

    Felton and May combined? Did he lead his team to a National Championship? It's not like he had to carry wake.

    Ya'll got your ABC blinders on. UNC would not have gotten out of the second round without May and surely would not have come close to beating dook.


    He played with so much intensity this past season and made it his team. The NBA does not play at the pace that the Heels did. There's plenty of time for him to stand around and check his messages or have a milkshake while Felton or Okafor post up their man.

    What does that have to do with him fitting in or not. It's not about UNC anymore, I'd have been happier with McPants

    The May pick is fine.

    Felton at 5 is too high.

    I think that anybody that was left was too high at 5.
