This is a list of the Charlotte Bobcats' NBA Draft selections. The Charlotte Bobcats were established in 2004 as an expansion team, becoming the NBA's 30th team,[1] only two seasons after Charlotte's previous NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets, relocated to New Orleans and became the New Orleans Hornets.[2] The Bobcats first participated in the NBA draft in 2004, two days after their expansion draft was held.[3]
In 1989, the NBA agreed with the National Basketball Players' Association to limit drafts to two rounds, an arrangement that has remained the same up the the present time.[4] Before each draft, an NBA Draft Lottery determines the first round selection order for the teams that missed the playoffs during the prior season.[4] Teams can also trade their picks, which means that in some drafts teams may have more or less than two draft picks, although they must have at least one first-round pick every other year.[5]
Although none of the players that the Bobcats have drafted have been voted All-Stars, Emeka Okafor was named the 2004–05 Rookie Of The Year[6] and was voted to the All-Rookie First Team,[7] and both Raymond Felton and Adam Morrison were named to the All-Rookie Second Team in the their rookie years.[7][8]
