10 Questions About Last Season That You Don't Know the Answer to


Here's the deal. I've compiled ten questions about last season's Bobcats, and I want you to read them and answer them. Don't cheat and scroll down until you've answered each. Any player who played more than 12 games is eligible as an answer. Here we go!

 

  1. Which Bobcat played the most minutes last season?
  2. Which Bobcat had the highest number of total rebounds, with 450? 
  3. Who had the second highest PER on the team behind Tyrus Thomas' 18.2?
  4. Which player had the highest TOV%, with 29.9%?
  5. Which Bobcat led the team in Win Shares per 48 minutes (WS/48), with 0.161?
  6. Gerald Wallace led the team in Defensive Win Shares (DWS) with 2.3, but was tied with another Bobcat. Who is it?
  7. Which Bobcat led the team in Offensive Rating (ORtg) with 122?
  8. Who led the team in overall Win Shares (WS)?
  9. Who led the Bobcats in Field Goal Percentage?
  10. Eduardo Najera, Shaun Livingston, Derrick Brown, D.J. White. One of these players started one game last season. Who was it?

ANSWERS

1) Believe it or not, Boris Diaw played the most minutes of any Bobcat last season. For all the slack he gets about his conditioning, he showed a lot of stamina and durability over the course of the season, playing 2778 minutes in all 82 games.

2) This might be one of the easier ones. Kwame Brown is the winner here. While only third in total defensive rebounds (behind Crash and Diaw), he was ways ahead of everyone with 147 offensive boards.

3) Bet you didn't see this one coming: D.J. White. Yup, you read that correctly. DJ's PER last year was 17.7, above league average.

4) Another easy one. Garrett Temple is our butterfingers here. For a player that wants to play point guard, turning the ball over 1 of every 3 possessions is not going to help you.

5) Another shocker: D.J. White another appearance on our list. Yes, DJ White may in fact be a superhero. Maybe you guys have been overlooking how talented he really is.

6) Boris Diaw is not happy with you saying that he's an average defender. Not at all. 

7) Say hello to your superhero, D.J. White

8) Did you think it was DJ White? WRONG. It's D.J. Augustin. While about average on offense and abysmal on defense, Augustin's iron man year (all 82 games played) helps him out here. Yes, DJ is responsible for 6.2 wins last season. Say thank you.

9) Was it Nazr? How about DJ White? Maybe Kwame Brown? Nope! It's Derrick Brown, thanks to his stellar start to the season. Brown clocks in at 55%.

10) Derrick Brown started one game for the Bobcats last year, replacing the injured Gerald Wallace, who was out with a sore ankle.

 

How many did you get right?

Fun Trivia

These were some tough questions though. I only got #’s 1, 2, and 10 right. I feel like a Bobcats slacker now.

Lol, me too homey.

I got 1,2,3,5,7

mainly bc I read the interview about DJ White a few weeks ago. I like this kid. He is a solid backup…I say we see what he can do. He is a natural PF. Hard nosed and tough. but he drives to the basket like an oversized SF (Cunningham)…which is good for a PF…keep it up White. If Tyrus could get his act together, we might have something

That was fun and eye-opening.

I got 0 of them right, but only because I’m bad at guessing. If I had guessed better, I bet I could have gotten all 10 right.

Question #11

True or False: In the photo above, Silas had just crapped on himself.

false. he’s laughing at Sam Vincent trying to be a coach.

I LOVE DJ White

Or Dub, as I like to call him. I see him as a solid bench guy for us. You have to build a team with good starters AND a good bench. he’s a good bench guy that we should see here for a long time.

At least I hope so

DJ White will be a fine 8th-10th man...

But those rate stats aren’t going to hold up over extended playing time on a nightly basis against the best the other team has to offer.

by MichaelProcton on Aug 24, 2011 2:08 PM EDT reply actions  

probably not

but if he can polish his skillset just a little and continue to play inside himself, he’ll be a 8th man or maybe 7th.

And he IS like only a 2nd year man...

…right?

No.

This will be his fourth year in the league.

Well, I made a 30, lol

Got #1, #2, and #10 correct. Yeah, that’s right. I remember D Brown starting 1 game last year. If the rest of my memory also serves me well, I believe he personally had a terrible performance in that game as well.

This was a fun little quiz. Thanks for posting it.

And I agree, I like DJ White too.

DJ White for Team Captain!

That is all.

Newton for '11 ROY!
Walker for '11 ROY!
Biyombo for '11 DPOY!

Wish I would have visited this thread earlier.

Got the first two right, then it was all downhill from there.

But I'm glad the numbers show why I'm thrilled to see what White

can do for us coming off the bench next year. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he averaged close to a double double as a 6th man. Could be the next Brandon Bass.
