He has bounced a couple of times back and forth to the Hornets G League team because he is the 3rd PG in their organization and they want him to get PT (the G League team uses the Hornets schemes). He had 31 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals last Saturday for Greensboro. Has only played 19 minutes in 2 games for the Hornets, so he is getting much needed experience. Still, Hornets' backup Tony Parker can't last forever at 36 yrs old, can he? So, there may be a space for DG yet this season.

At this time it is best to play 30+ minutes on the G League than warm the bench at the top level. He is getting great experience for when he is called and he will be much better prepared.

The idea in the NBA will be to use young guys in the G League unless there are injuries or ineffectiveness from veterans. Young players need to play. In the past, there wasn't that opportunity in the NBA, but that is happening in the G League, along with the fact that there are more practices in the G League than the NBA due to the NBA travel schedule.

Devonte will spend most of this year in the G League, but I fully expect him to be in Charlotte to start next season.
