There is never a problem with competition for jobs when you are coming off a 61 loss season. Bring in as many players as you can and let the best performers play.
I never understand how people can say we don't have room for more players. The team won 21 games last year!! Letting young players get their rear ends handed to them night after night with no veterans to guide them is not the way to do it.
Curry and Chandler are children. It took Kobe several years to develop into a starter. These two should be brought along slowly.
Pippen and Grant were 4 year seniors and top 10 picks. They did not start their first season. Sellers and Oakley were the starters. Curry and Chandler should get decent minutes, but only a gradual increase as they learn.
I really think those two should only get 20 - 25 minutes a game, some nights less when they stink and some nights more when they are playing well.
Leaving those 19 year olds on the court to get their butts kicked night in and night out is not the best way. If they were blended in with Jordan and Pippen in their primes then fine. But playing along side so many other unproven players is asking for trouble.
Marshall and Rose do need to play heavy minutes. The rest should play as many minutes as their performance merits.
I trust Cartwright to do the right thing.
