* Sean May* #42
* Power Forward
* Charlotte Bobcats
* Height: 6-9
* Weight: 266
Why you should get him:
Bobcats' bare frontcourt - With his return, May automatically fills a gap that has doomed Charlotte last year in his absence. It would be hard imagining him not being the sixth man, backing up Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed at different points of the game. New Head Coach Larry Brown himself said that May should be able to get ample playing time.
Learning curve - His statistical jump from his rookie to sophomore year is incremental at best, but he is improving in terms of shot selection. Proof: his FG% shot up from 40.9 in Year 1 to 50.0 in Year 2. He also has a scorer's mentality, proven by a seven-game streak where he averaged 17.7 points per game.
Boards - Before you criticize his 5.9 rebounds per game over his first two years, it would be critical to note that these came in a span of 21 minutes, give or take. Once Coach Brown gives him additional playing time, watch the rebounding numbers go up as well.
Why you shouldn't get him:
Recuperation period - May might get too giddy at the thought of getting his starting job back and could force the issue. If he tries to be too much upon returning from injury, it will definitely hurt your team. GM's take note.
Inconsistency - May may have one good game sandwiched between two bad ones, which may seem like a "mirage" to most GM's (think Ramon Sessions). Once the year begins, we will see whether he still falls into this habit or learns to play out of it.
Projected 08-09 statistics: GP: 69
Ppg: 9.9
Rpg: 7.6
Apg: 2.0
Spg: 0.4
Bpg: 0.7
TOs: 1.8
FG%: 48.5
3sM: 0.0
FT%: 75.1
Verdict:
Methinks that Sean May should be an early 11th round pick in 15-20 team leagues and a late 13th round pick in 12-14 team leagues. He may be taken in the late 15th round or go undrafted in smaller leagues but could be one of the first to pick up when dropping a player early in the season.
