Charlotte Hornets: It’s Time for Steve Clifford to Bench Brian Roberts

Brian Roberts was originally signed to man the emergency point guard role for the Charlotte Hornets this season but he was thrust into the backup spot when Ramon Sessions went down with a serious knee injury. While B-Rob might be a solid third string player, he has not nearly played well enough to maintain his current spot in the rotation. It’s time for Steve Clifford to make the tough decision and bench Roberts for the remainder of the season.

After losing Jeremy Lin in the summer, the Hornets have lacked a solid scorer/playmaker behind Kemba Walker this year.
