With confrontational dribbling, Zhang Yang was far from Felton's level, but in fast breaks without resistance, he was much quicker than Felton.
The game eventually ended in a loss, 95 to 103, with the Bobcats losing to the Magic by an 8-point margin in their second preseason game.
But in the preseason, winning or losing isn't important... Even losing regular season games isn't a big deal.
What's important is the performance of the rookies.
Felton, facing Francis and Nelson, played even better than he did against Joe Johnson and Tyronn Lue.
In his early years, Francis relied on his enthusiasm and physicality; despite his lack of defensive skills and awareness, his overall defense didn't lag behind.
Now at only 28 years old, Francis's offense had already begun to decline, most likely from too many bumps and bruises, and his defense had deteriorated significantly.
