Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo

Three days into camp, Kemba Walker is signed. Bismack Biyombo is still watching from a folding chair, and that must be driving him nuts. As soon as practice officially ended (as soon as he could emerge from timeout, kindergarten-style) he was doing wind-sprints from baseline-to-baseline.

It reminded me of the kid the NCAA holds out because he took a hamburger from a booster. But in this case, Biyombo isn't a guilty party. He's just forced to wait the civil-court process in Spain....

Derrick Brown

When the Knicks rescinded Brown's qualifying offer to pursue center Tyson Chandler, Brown turned to the Bobcats. He had a comfort level here between coach Paul Silas and shooting guard Gerald Henderson, one of Brown's close friends. But mostly it was about the prospect of steady minutes.

During a 10-minute interview following Saturday's practice, Brown used the word "opportunity" five times. He's been made no promises about playing time, but the Bobcats' situation should get him on the court.

"At the end of the day, everyone in this has that competitive nature. I haven't had that extreme opportunity," Brown said. "I'd rather have an opportunity - take less money and play - than some other things. You have to grow. I need that opportunity to grow."

A 6-foot-7 forward, Brown was a bit player both here and in New York. There are no guarantees, but it sure sounded Friday night like coach Paul Silas will give him every chance to be Corey Maggette's backup at small forward. There are no other true small forwards on the roster, particularly with restricted free agent Dante Cunningham unsigned.

Reggie Williams would be nice...
