Bobcats Sign Second Rounder Hollins

The Charlotte Bobcats signed center Ryan Hollins, the team's second-round draft pick in the 2006 NBA Draft.

Hollins, a starter on UCLA's NCAA Final Four team this past season, was the 50th overall selection.

"Ryan Hollins is a terrific athlete for a seven-footer and he is an intelligent player who works hard. He will have an opportunity to earn playing time with our team as he continues to develop," Bobcats General Manager & Head Coach Bernie Bickerstaff said. "We are fortunate to get a player with his size and athleticism with the 50th pick."

"I have waited for this day to come for a long time. I am thrilled to be joining a first-class organization and to have the opportunity to be a part of something special," Hollins said. "This is a really talented team with a great coaching staff and I look forward to being a part of the Charlotte community and getting to know the fans."
