Maggette's season is over: The Charlotte Observer reported on Thursday that Bobcats guard Corey Maggette will miss the rest of the season with a lingering Achilles’ injury. Maggette played just 32 games this season while dealing with a number of injuries, however he did bounce back as a scorer, averaging 15.0 points per game in just 27.5 minutes per game.

Fantasy Analysis
Maggette’s future with the Bobcats is up in the air, as he is a veteran on a rebuilding team who may want to cut ties with him in the offseason. If he returns to Charlotte, he will almost certainly remain one of the team’s top offensive options. The Bobcats have been one of the worst offensive teams in all of basketball this year, however Maggette was still able to put up decent numbers, and he would likely do so again next year. If the team cuts ties with him, then his Fantasy value would obviously change, however he should be targeted in the middle rounds on Draft Day either way. (Updated 04/12/2012).

Greg Monroe had 25 points and 11 rebounds to help the Detroit Pistons salvage a four-game road trip with a 109-85 rout of the woeful Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday.
Maggette's first and only season in Milwaukee was a disaster. He appeared in 67 games for the Bucks -- 18 as a starter, 49 coming off the bench -- and saw a major dropoff in production from years past. The 12-3-1 stat line he averaged was his worst since his second year in the league as he struggled to find his role in coach Scott Skiles' offense. However, Maggette is now in Charlotte -- thanks to a Draft Day trade -- and could be in line for a bounce-back season with the Bobcats. He has already been told by coach Paul Silas that he will be the team's starting small forward, which should get his minutes into the 30s on a nightly basis and he will be counted on to be one of the team's primary scorers with Stephen Jackson now out of town. While he is a proven scorer in the NBA, Maggette's injury history makes him a risky option for Fantasy owners. He hasn't played in more than 70 games in each of the last four seasons, which is something owners should take into consideration. Still, if Maggette can stay healthy, he could prove to be a nice sleeper option. (Updated 8/28/11)
