It's easy to say you are going with a 11-man rotation but in reality it is much more difficult. Let's see if Dunlap sticks with that plan when the subs aren't playing well or the game isn't going well.
i expected this starting line up after our pre-season and thinks its the best 5 to start in my opinion. i hope MKG gets quality minutes this season becasue he has a great motor and we need him out on the floor to make things happen !.

I love what Dunlap said. He gets it. We are crap, but we also have a lot of length, youth, and speed. So it makes sense to pressure hard with a big rotation and push the ball. It worked well against the depleted Wizards in preseason game one, with this same starting 5. That was the most fun I'd had at a Bobcats game since 2010.
Whether he deserves them or not if MKG doesn't get starters minutes we fans need to get the pitchforks out.
Biyombo should start over Haywood, in my opinion. Please tell me they cut Higgins..please.

I understand Haywood starting. Biz is still so raw, it is amazing he was a first round pick. I think he will be a starter some day but it is still 2 to 3 years away.
This assumes we are ready to compete for the playoffs... which me most decidedly are not. Biz is the future, not Haywood and right now, the only thing that matters to the Bobcats is THE FUTURE.
It seems like we do this every single year. We draft players and when they don't turn out to be Lebron, we bench them, kill their confidence and steal valuable learning minutes away from them all in the name of winning a couple meaningless games.
I love Dunlap and am in no way cursing this decision. It just seems like the kind of mentality that we thought we dropped when we picked up Dunlap. This is still a rebuilding effort, wins mean relatively nothing to us at this point. Its all about progress, potential and draft picks.
Bismack should be starting honestly, gotta keep developing him and that won't happen with him on the bench...but if dunlap thinks it's best we'll have to wait and see maybe biz will start really soon who knows
Haywood won't play more than 25 minutes on most nights, leaving plenty of time for Biyombo to get on the floor. Not to mention the inevitable minor injuries that Haywood will suffer at this age through the rigors of a 82-game season, trust me when I say that Biyombo will get his chance.
