08:14 AM ET 11.01 | While naming his starting five -- point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, rookie small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, power forward Byron Mullens and center Brendan Haywood -- for the opener, Mike Dunlap cautioned against getting used to the lineup. Dunlap was asked Wednesday if Kidd-Gilchrist, the No. 2 overall pick, is ready to be an NBA starter: "I don't think any rookie, even (top pick Anthony) Davis, is ready for an 82-game season," Dunlap replied. "I think the rookies go through tremendous highs and lows. And it's like running your first marathon. They can tell you about the wall, but when you hit that wall, it's a whole different deal."

Well who else can they play when he gets back. This franchise needs to be relocated and under new ownership period.

Why should they be relocated? Relocation won't turn them into a winning franchise. That's asinine. What they need are better players. Once the Bobcats get out from the crap contracts they have after this year, they might actually be able to afford someone decent. Best choice MJ made was hiring Rich Cho. He just needs a few years to work his magic.

Smart move coach get the young guy game experience. When your team is bad let the young guys get some run and learn by fire.

Rich Cho sounds like Jeremy Lo, they are both none descript as far as I'm concerned. Ever heard of change, a fresh start? They've been wasting away in Carolina for quite some time. You even have Caroliners thinking this horrible owner and ex basketball exec. Mike to bring in some formidable talent and turn things around........keep dreamin!

although mkg seems like a great kid, charlotte has a lingering problem (besides mj). charlotte, even way back to the hornets days, always drafts small.
we gave up thomas robinson 6'9" with a 7'1" wingspan and an nba ready power forward body to draft gilchrist, another short small forward who cant shoot.
you can have a player who is short for their position on your team. but you will never be successful in the nba (or in any professional sport) with an entire team of undersized players. (see: philadelphia eagles)

The Guy is 6'7" and extremely athletic. His skills are raw but to say he is undersized is a stretch at best.

I agree with the philosophy that rookies should get the proper baptism of fire. But, it's not like the Cats have other options. If you say that Bryon Mullens (with all due respect to Mr Mullens, of course) is one of your starters, you have suspect depth. The Charlotte franchise has a looong way to go.
