Wins or player development? Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego reveals job No. 1

New Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego said several interesting things Tuesday; this is the one I found most telling:

He won’t sacrifice the chance to win games this season to fast track the development of young players.

Does that mean Borrego views the development of rookies Miles Bridges and Devonte Graham as unimportant? Absolutely not. He feels what he learned in two stints as a San Antonio Spurs assistant showed him how to balance the here and now with the long view.

The Hornets open training camp in two weeks at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
