LaVar Ball says Hornets need to quit messing around and name LaMelo as starting point guard

LaMelo Ball debuted in the NBA in loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The third pick of the 2020 NBA draft came off the bench ending the game with zero points in 16’ on a 0-for-5 shooting night.
Before the game his father LaVar spoke with TMZ saying that his son has to be in the starting five.

Per TMZ, Lavar Ball says the Charlotte Hornets need to quit messing around and name his son Melo as the starting point guard. We saw LaVar at a Big Baller Brand holiday charity event in L.A. on Wednesday before Melo’s first NBA game as a pro and asked him about Charlotte’s starting 5.

LaVar says bluntly that Melo deserves a starting role right now — explaining, “If [Melo is] your marquee guy, what marquee guy don’t start?”
