CHARLOTTE, N. Wholesale NFL Jerseys From China .C. -- The Bobcats have a new coach, a new colour scheme and three new players. Charlotte is ushering in what it hopes is a new era in Bobcats basketball. Michael Jordans Bobcats Friday introduced rookies Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out of Kentucky and Vanderbilts Jeffery Taylor along with trade acquisition Ben Gordon during press conference at their arena, three players the team hopes will help turn things around on the court. They hired Mike Dunlap as head coach a week ago and changed their uniform colours and logo. The Bobcats are coming off a 7-59 season, the worst winning percentage in NBA history (.106), but are eager to put all of that behind them. "Theres no question about it," Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said. "Its a special time in our franchise, our city and our community. Its a different time for us and as a franchise were looking forward to the future and not whats in the past." Kidd-Gilchrist, selected No. 2 overall in the draft, is expected to be a big part of that future. "I just want to win basketball games," Kidd-Gilchrist, who lost just four games last season while helping the Wildcats to a national championship. "The past is the past around here." Added Taylor: "I couldnt have said it better myself." Kidd-Gilchrist and Taylor both play small forward, although they have different strengths. Taylor is a better shooter, while Kidd-Gilchrist is known as a very solid defender who can cover any position on the floor and also is effective in transition, which should bode well for playing in Dunlaps up-tempo offence. Kidd-Gilchrist comes into the NBA as the youngest player in the league at a ripe age of 18. "Hes just a kid," said his mother Cynthia Richardson. "In reality, he should be going into his senior year of high school." But Kidd-Gilchrist doesnt lack for focus and said he relishes the task ahead. "This is my job now so I have to go do it," said Kidd-Gilchrist, who averaged 11.9 points per game in his only season at Kentucky before declaring himself eligible for the draft. Kidd-Gilchrist comes to area of the country known largely for a lighter shade of blue than he wore in college -- Tar Heel blue, which was worn by Jordan when he played at North Carolina. Kidd-Gilchrist said he didnt know much about the Tar Heels, but drew laughs from crowed when he said, "I won a national championship, thats all I know." Gordon, who joined the team on Wednesday, immediately becomes one of the more experienced players on a young roster. He averaged better than 20 points per game his final season with the Chicago Bulls, but failed to come close to replicating those numbers the past three seasons with the Detroit Pistons. He was acquired along with the future first-round draft pick in exchange for veteran small forward Corey Maggette. "I have a lot of years of experience I can share with these guys," Gordon said. "Ive been on a winning team and teams that havent been winning. One thing I can show them is always maintaining a good work ethic and just around the locker room." The Bobcats are hoping he will also provide some perimeter shooting. Charlotte shot just 29.5 per cent from beyond the 3-point arc, worst in the league. Gordon comes to the Bobcats with the 12th best shooting percentage (40.6 per cent) among active players. "I think with my ability to shoot the ball from the outside, I think Ill be able to make an immediate impact in a much-needed area," Gordon said. With the draft complete the Bobcats are turning their attention to free agency. They have more than $20 million to spend under the salary cap and are expected to use some of that money to sign a big man. The Bobcats dont have a true centre on the roster outside of Gana Diop, who has struggled with weight problems and doesnt seem like a great fit for a team that plans to run as much as the Bobcats. Bismack Biyombo and Byron Mullens are primarily considered power forwards. The Bobcats would also like to add some height in the backcourt. Its all part of a new beginning in Charlotte. "Free agency is right around the corner," Higgins said. "We have another avenue that we have to attack." Wholesale NFL Jerseys Supply .

Williams until mid-November after the NFL added three games to his suspension Friday. Williams was punished for violating the leagues substance abuse policy following his conviction in August of driving while ability impaired. He already was serving a six-game suspension to start the season for violating the leagues banned-substances policy — such as performance enhancing drugs — after the NFL said he supplied a "non-human" urine sample during a drug test. Williams, the teams leading tackler in four of the last five seasons, wont be eligible to return to the Broncos until Nov. 12. He was originally slated to return in time for the game against New Orleans on Oct. 28, but will now miss that game and road contests at Cincinnati and Carolina, too. The Broncos, who had been preparing for Williams suspension to be extended, declined comment after arriving in New England on Friday night for their game against the Patriots this weekend. Wesley Woodyard and Keith Brooking have shared snaps at weakside linebacker in Williams absence.dddddddddddd Williams met with Commissioner Roger Goodell in New York last month in hopes of avoiding further punishment from the league following his latest run-in, a case that stemmed from a drunken driving arrest nearly two years ago. He was originally charged with driving under the influence, but a jury returned a conviction on a lesser charge. He was also convicted of driving without headlights, the offence that prompted police to stop him near downtown Denver about 3 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2010. Prosecutors said Williams failed roadside sobriety tests during his traffic stop and refused to take a blood test to determine his possible alcohol level. He was taken to a detox facility. The Broncos stripped Williams of his captaincy shortly after his arrest — the second time hed been detained for suspicion of drunken driving. In 2005, he pleaded guilty to impaired driving. Williams has led the Broncos in tackles five times in his eight years since joining the NFL as Denvers top draft pick in 2004 out of the University of Miami. ' ' '
