Matt Carroll we miss you

Matt Carroll (6'6 212 SG, 6th year) is without a doubt, the biggest disappointment of the season so far.

In the last two seasons, Matt has become a well-established killer marksman, hitting an incredible 43% of his 3 pointers, logging significant minutes for him team, around 25 mpg. Two years ago he averaged 12.1 points, and last year, 9.0 ppg.

So far, this preseason, in which the Bobcats have failed to win a game, has been a total disaster for Matt. Typically getting less than 10 minutes per game, Matt is attempting only 3.6 shots a game, and averaging a paltry 2.9 points.

Leave it to Larry Brown, without a doubt the worst coach in basketball, to put a struggling young team in reverse, making them even worse than the year before, and to turn his best shooter into a scrub.

As reported in Charlotte:

The most common theme to these exhibitions is them trying too hard to please Brown. “We're playing too uptight,'' said Carroll. “He told us to play uptight on defense and loose on offense. Either we're doing the opposite, or just playing uptight at both ends. It's still the preseason, and we're trying to play the way he wants. Maybe we're trying too hard to do it, but that's not a bad thing right now.”

It's always funny to hear players lie to the reporters, trying to keep the happy face on.

Poor Matt. We miss you, buddy, and hope you can get a better coach soon.
