Tyson Chandler, who was traded to the Bobcats earlier this week, says that he feels great physically.

"I feel a lot better than I did on the court last year," the center told the Charlotte Observer. "At the end of the (season), my ankle was hurting pretty bad. So I went in for an operation and we decided we might as well clean everything up. For the first time in a couple of years, I've got good movement in my toe."

Bobcats coach Larry Brown says that Chandler possesses the skill set the team is looking for in a center.

"We want a center who's out on the break, rebounding the ball and bringing it up with a couple of dribbles. Tyson has those skills," Brown said.
