Noah and PJ to have limited roles.

Steve Clifford said that while rookies Vonleh and Hairston have "starter's talent," neither likely to have a significant role this season.

As it should be.  Let them grow.  Charlotte ain't moving to New Orleans again in 2017.

We will see when we cant get no significant scoring off the bench.

I think Vonleh needs to get 26+ minutes a game

That's borderline starter minutes. No way. His game is way too raw and he'd be an offensive and defensive liability at this point starting for us

Are you kidding me?  I hope you are being sarcastic.

 

nevermind....I forgot that you were only a 15 yo kid.

 

 

vonleh is not even close to contributing this year.  He is young, raw, and does not have an NBA body or game yet.

 

PJ is the one that could have minimal minutes but have a scoring impact.

Sounds about right

MKG only played 24 minutes last season.

Edit:

Never mind. I really gotta quit debating with a child.

I love this man. He's as honest as it gets.

That's the one thing I don't care for about Clifford. I love the man outside of that. But, this strategy goes horribly wrong when you have a rookie/young guy completely outplaying the vet in front of him and yet, he still gets no mins.

I know he's explained it before about how if you play a young guy too early it can destroy their development. BUT, there is a very thin line there that you could end up hurting them if you don't play them enough either...

[Stroupe-a-loop]

I think most people that watched last year could guess that. Clifford isn't going to give young guys run over a vet that's ready to go now.

[bLACKpANTHER]

this isnt the old Bobcats teams that are still looking to build a team.. we are trying to win games now and make the playoffs and contender for the Eastern Conference title.. leave the rookies on the bench and let the vets- who you know will produce- get the minutes and get the Ws

 

let the rookies come in 3rd string and garbage time

[Chaos]

If PJ comes in and starts lighting it up, Clifford might extend his PT in that game, but not consistently.  Everyone was frustrated last season when they wanted more Zeller and less McRoberts, be ready for more of the same.
