Coming into his third year, the Bobcats looked for more talent for Felton to distribute to, bringing in popular scoring shooting guard Jason Richardson. The 2007–08 season was still, however, a season of rebuilding for the Bobcats; several players took a step back instead of a step forward.

Felton however raised his FG% to a career-high 46% and improved his stroke from the three-point line, shooting 38.5%. In March,
