This is only a valid argument if Graham’s defense is good, which it isn’t.

That is a hell of a strawman.

The only valid rebuttal is if Graham's defense is worse, which the proof for that was lauding Ball's obvious playmaking ability?

The kid's gonna start eventually. Right now, the big question is whether or not he can improve upon his defense.

Is it? When you have 2 players who are bad defensively, but one player is clearly better in all other aspects of the game, it doesn’t make much sense to say the better player doesn’t start because of his defense.

Besides that, it also assumes he is a worse defender than Graham, but is he? Graham’s DBPM is -1, Lamelo’s is 0.9. So Lamelo is actually better.

"On June 15, 2006, Jordan announced he had bought a minority stake of the Charlotte Bobcats. As part of the deal, Jordan was named Managing Member of Basketball Operations and given full control over the basketball side of the team operation."

Thats just full control over a part of the team. He took full control in 2010.

I don't give a single solitary fug if LaMelo is happy right now or not It's not the job of the coach to make him happy, it's to be fair. The vast majority of people here are already on their knees to kiss his ass, but if you start taking lineup advice from an 18 year old kid, you've already lost. He's the new GM. Half of the mission with taking this kid was the fact that he was going to have to be humbled and learn how to be a good teammate and that comes with maturity. I was disgusted in his first attempt at the triple double how he passed up a wide open shot in a close game in favor of a bad shot because he wanted the assist to get there. That's the kind of garbage we never need to see again. Being a rookie in this league, you're going to have to earn your burn. Coming into the game and trying to force things and turning the ball over is not going to get you MORE playing time. I am very glad that Borrego is standing on principles here because this ain't LaMelo's team yet. It will be soon, but not today. He was like -26 or some garbage with the second unit last game when all the starters were plus. He's about 1 minute per game behind Anthony Edwards and about 3 ahead of James Wiseman. People acting like he's been stapled to the bench need to get real about it. This is how you break rookies into the league. 

And I hate to say this so early, but unless something changes drastically regarding this kid's ego, he's going to be out of here before his rookie deal is up. Charlotte isn't big enough to produce the clout he thinks he's already earned. That was the danger with this pick even if you believed in the talent.

27 pts, 9 assists in only 31 minutes against the Bucks. His plus/minus was +37

He needs to start

I can see both arguments. It may be better for him in the long run to not start this year, but if we are trying to win games and make the playoffs this year then we need to start him and have him playing 30-35+ minutes every night as he gives us our best chance to win.

    • Many times the best deal is the one you have.  This team has  2 top 40 picks with a draft full of talent and a team full of holes.  Whatever they do they should not squander the opportunity that is sitting in front of them.  Best you can hope for is that they don’t overthink it. 
    • Space eater isn't our biggest need. But I see a value to good to pass up after his boneheaded DUI during the draft process. I assume this moves him completely out of the second round maybe pushed into the 4th. I would be hard pressed to not pull the trigger in the 3rd round somewhere.  At 6'4 366 I would love to insert him day one and just really be done with Shy tuttle who is just a jag. This guy would be an upgrade and one small mistake of partying to hard doesn't indicate a everyday problem. This kid can't be blocked 1 on 1 and just allowed texas to stop the run of his strength. he bats down a ton of passes and i would consider him a value getting a almost first round talent that late in the draft. what say you?
