Episode Details

The Charlotte Hornets are adjusting their strategy for managing LaMelo Balls minutes in back-to-back games. Instead of benching him, theyre bringing him off the bench for one game, aiming to limit his playing time to around twenty-eight minutes. This approach shifts his minutes to the second and fourth quarters, keeping him fresh without missing games. However, this change has led to slow starts in games, with the team being down by more than eight points on average when Ball first checks in. The Hornets are not alone in this approach, as other teams like the Spurs and Pelicans are also managing their star players minutes. The solution lies in fine-tuning the plan, spreading Balls twenty-five minutes across quarters to avoid early deficits and keep him available for crucial moments. Checkout Solipillow.com
