Charlotte Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins today announced that the team has exercised its options on Adam Morrison and Jared Dudley for the 2009-10 season.
Morrison, the third overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, played in 78 games for the Bobcats as a rookie in 2006-07, averaging 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He was named to the All-Rookie Second Team after ranking second among all NBA rookies in scoring and minutes played, while also ranking sixth in assists. Morrison missed the entire 2007-08 season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee during the preseason.
Dudley, the 22nd overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, played in 73 games for the Bobcats last season, with averages of 5.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He ranked among the league’s top 20 rookies in field goal percentage (seventh), steals (eighth), rebounding (12th), assists (T-14th) and scoring (T-17th).
The Charlotte Bobcats will host their annual Cool School preseason game presented by Harris Teeter for middle school students at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 16, against the Orlando Magic. Approximately 16,000 students and teachers representing 31 regional cities and 14 counties will take part in this educationally geared event.

hmm. this could be a double edged sword. both dudley and morrison are young, but I think MJ and L. Brown want nothing less than a playoff run. these are sacrafices we may have to make

Let the guys get a chance!!! Whatcha gonna do get a draft pick for them or some player we don't need? This is a young team with lots of potential. One thing I loved about old school basketball teams was the fact the team got a chance to go through growing pains and success together. Now a days you have to win a championship asap or your whole season was a waste. Lets see what the whole team can do with a real coach then go from there. Go Bobcats!!!
