Buzzmaster: (8:57 PM ET ) Adam Morrison is here so send your questions!
Stone: Congrats Adam, are you excited to play for Jordan the young Bobcats?
Buzzmaster: (8:59 PM ET ) He's the greatest and I think Charlotte's a good fit for me so I'm very excited.
Chris J: what sort of impact do you think you can have in your first season?
Buzzmaster: (9:00 PM ET ) I feel like I can help with scoring right away and bring a level of intensity to the team. And I'm very excited to be a part of that organization.
smoke dogg: adam are you going to get a haircut before you play in the nba or will you leave it 'bogut style'?
Buzzmaster: (9:01 PM ET ) I'll leave it Bogut style and see what happens...
Daoud Shuja: Congarts on going to the Bobcats. How do you think Gerald Wallace and Felton will compliment your shooting abilities?
Buzzmaster: (9:02 PM ET ) Gerald is a great athlete and slasher and that will shrink the floor and Felton is an excellent pure point guard who can also shoot and that will open up the floor for the rest of the guys on the perimeter.
G$: Congrats AdamI think that you are a great fit in Charlotte and I can't wait for you to show all the critics and haters that you are a superstar. What do you think your biggest challenge is going to be at the next level?
Adam Morrison: (9:03 PM ET ) The speed of the game and the overall strength of the players. I just have to get used to how fast the game is played at the NBA level.
Steve: Are you prepared for the "mental toughness" MJ demands of his players?
Adam Morrison: (9:04 PM ET ) I'm going to go in with the right attitude and listen and do everything that's asked of me. But, obciously, it' MJ and I'm probably not ready for his level of intensity.
eddy (seattle): how huge, do you think, was your workout performance in charlotte in their decision to take you 3rd overall?
Adam Morrison: (9:06 PM ET ) I felt like it was a good workout and it was huge. But people don't realize how much tape they watch, too, so that was big, too.
