Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego says it’s too soon to shake up the rotation five games into the season.
Speaking before Saturday’s road game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Borrego said he’ll stay with the starting lineup that lost 108-93 to the Memphis Grizzlies Friday. Guard Devonte Graham, last season’s leading scorer, has particularly struggled averaging 9.8 points on 27% shooting.
“We’re not going to jump the gun here. We’re gonna stay the course,” Borrego said, adding, “I like our rotation right now. I trust our guys.”
Borrego said after Friday’s loss that he’d consider moving rookie point guard LaMelo Ball, the third pick, into the starting unit, along with other tweaks.
