When Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan looks at first-round draft pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, he is reminded of Scottie Pippen, Jordan's NBA championship-winning teammate on the Chicago Bulls. Jordan isn't suggesting Kidd-Gilchrist is another Pippen, but he likes what he's seen from the one-year star on Kentucky's national championship team. The Bobcats used the second pick to draft Kidd-Gilchrist, a small forward, and added Vanderbilt guard Jeffery Taylor in the second round. Both players are in Las Vegas with the Bobcats' summer league team which begins play Friday night.
