Report: Bobcats sign Kwame Brown

Basketball Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats have reportedly reunited former No. 1 pick Kwame Brown and new team owner Michael Jordan.

The Charlotte Observer reports the Bobcats have brought in Brown on a one- year, $1.3 million contract. Jordan, then part owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards, made Brown the No. 1 pick in 2001 as the first high school player ever taken with the first selection.

Brown's career quickly spiraled into disappointment with the 10th-year pro never topping a 10.9-point and 7.4-rebound output in 2003-04. He went on to play for the Lakers and Grizzlies after four mediocre years in Washington and is coming off a two-year stint with the Pistons.

The 6-foot-11 center averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 48 games last season, almost primarily as a reserve. He started 30 of 58 games for Detroit a year earlier, but managed only 4.2 points and 5.0 boards.

In 510 career games, including 217 starts, Brown has posted 6.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
