The Charlotte Bobcats are finally ready to turn their lottery pick Point Guard, Kemba Walker, loose on the league, only they’ll be starting him at the 2 guard spot. Much in same as the Golden State Warriors have done for the past couple years, the Bobcats are preparing themselves to go small, filling both guard spots with undersized distributors.
While I agree that Walker needs to see time on the court, much more then he has thus far, and also that D.J. Augustin is too good to merely be benched in favor of the rookie, I have my doubts in the two Point Guard system.

The point guard position is deeper then it ever has been in many years, but there are still teams out there who desperately need that position filled. The Lakers for instance, being an obvious one.

The MLK day loss against Cleveland is my early-season favorite for Most Infuriating Bobcats Loss of the Year.
