Bobcats season over; needs for next year;

After a first round sweep at the hands of the Orlando Magic, the Charlotte Bobcats season has come to an end. This series exposed many flaws in the Bobcats game. Here are the blemishes I believe they should apply cream to:

• Outside Shooting
• The Bobcats shot 27.9 percent from three-point range throughout the series. Only four players shot over 30 percent. If this doesn't define pathetic, then I never learned the true definition. Adding a long-range shooter should be one of the top priorities for the 'Cats this offseason or they'll have more ugly playoff exits in the future.
• Point guard play
• Raymond Felton averaged 11.8 points and 5.0 assists in 32.5 minutes against Orlando. D.J. Augustin scored 4.3 ppg and 1.0 apg in 18.3 minutes. Jameer Nelson averaged 23.8 and 4.5. With three centers keeping Dwight Howard from dominating offensively, the Bobcats' point guards failed to show up against Orlando, on offense and defense. Felton is an unrestricted free agent. Either re-sign Felton and hope for better or sign someone else and let Augustin play more minutes.
• The four spot
• Boris Diaw had a disgustingly awful performance against the Magic. Diaw is one of the teams many players with previous playoff experience. He was expected to be the third scorer after Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson. Diaw's poor performance, along with the poor point guard play and terrible outside shooting, were the keys to Charlotte's early playoff exit. Tyrus Thomas is free agent and should be re-signed by the Bobcats. I would find a way to move Diaw to another team and open up minutes for rookie Derrick Brown.
