Bobcats get 20th pick from Nuggets

[Kingfanpaul]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Bobcats acquired the No. 20 pick in the NBA draft on Wednesday from the Denver Nuggets.
The Bobcats sent the Nuggets a future protected first-round pick, and now have two picks in the first round. Charlotte also holds the ninth overall pick.
The move could give Charlotte an option to take both a big man and a point guard in the draft, two areas of need. The Bobcats were impressed with Georgetown center Roy Hibbert when he worked out for the team earlier this month. Hibbert is expected to go late in the first round.

Man I wish we could add another first rounder

Well considering they had to give up a future first round pick to get it, I'm not sure it was that good of a bargain. I guess they're banking on getting themselves out of the lottery in the near future.

It says the pick Charlotte is giving up is protected. Seeing as they're only getting the 20th this year, it's likely that their pick next year is lottery protected. Top 10 at least, presumably.

Saw this coming. If Hibbert is on the board here, he's going to Charlotte

hopefully they will get hibbert because that would mean that we passed on him... which is good because we dont need him...
