Anthony Davis’ family wanted him to land with Michael Jordan's Bobcats.

"A lot of disappointment inside my family," said Anthony. "My mom wanted me to go to to Charlotte. I have a lot of good friends in Charlotte. At the same time, it wasn't my call. A lot of guys are disappointed but they have to move on and make the best out of New Orleans."

Davis, who was raised in Chicago, grew up rooting for Jordan and the Bulls.

Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said the team plans to work out at least six players for the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Thomas Robinson, and Bradley Beal are among the players expected to vie for the No. 2 pick.

Higgins also said he anticipates trade interest from other teams.

“Some other teams are going to call us about No. 2,’’ Higgins said. “We’re going to get some interest there until the pick is called’’ on draft night.

The New Orleans Hornets have won the 2012 NBA Draft Lottery just a few months after trading away Chris Paul and are expected to select Anthony Davis.

Patrick Ewing has been eliminated from the running to become the next head coach of the Bobcats, according to a source.

Michael Jordan reached out to Ewing to inform him of the decision of the franchise.

Ewing has served as assistant coach with the Magic and Rockets.

Jeff Van Gundy believes the Bobcats put together “a very poor roster by design.”

The Bobcats, who finished 7-59 on the season, have a 25.0 percent chance of securing the first pick in the draft.

“I don’t think the players and the coaching staff (tanked). I think the organization did by not getting the best roster” available, Van Gundy said. “You could make the case at any position that they did not have a top-15 player” at that position in the league.

The Bobcats plan to meet with Quin Snyder as they continue their coaching search.

Snyder spent the 11-12 season as an assistant with the Lakers.

Charlotte has already interviewed Jerry Sloan, Patrick Ewiing, Nate McMillan, Dave Joerger, Mike Malone, Nate Tibbetts, Mike Dunlap and Stephen Silas.

Jerry Sloan interviewed for the Bobcats' coaching vacancy on Friday in Utah, a meeting that was attended by Michael Jordan.

"They've got a young team, and it will be interesting to see what happens," said Sloan.

Sloan said he hadn't been offered the job.

"They might come back, they might not," he said. "I can't judge that. We'll just have to wait and see where it goes from there."

Sloan hasn't been in touch with any front office beyond Charlotte.

The Bobcats plan to reach out to Stan Van Gundy, according to sources.

Van Gundy was let go by the Magic this week.

Charlotte doesn't expect to make a decision before next week's lottery.

Jerry Sloan is interested in the vacant Magic head coaching position.

“Yes, I think so,’’ Sloan said. “It would be very intriguing. But they would have to be interested in me.’’

Sloan, 70, is open to a rebuilding situation with the Bobcats.

“It’s not always about starting at the top,’’ Sloan said.
