    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Charlotte Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff said Tuesday that veteran Brevin Knight will start at shooting guard ahead of Morrison, the No. 3 pick in the draft, in Wednesday's season opener against Indiana.

    Morrison started four of the Bobcats' eight preseason games, averaging 11.6 points and 36-percent shooting. Bickerstaff said coming off the bench will help his transition to the NBA.

    "He's done well, but he's still a rookie," Bickerstaff said. "This is a different level, but I think Adam will be just fine. He's a good basketball player, but he has to navigate his way through being an NBA player."</div>
    He struggled in preseason shooting the ball. Considering that's really his only strong point in his game right now, that's not good. Plus he may be taller than Knight, but he's a defensive liability (plus Knight is stronger than him). A backcourt of Felton and Knight is going to be fun to watch though. Also, I'll predict Morrison starting by the All-Star break.

    Good move by Bickerstaff, it's obvious that everyone wants Morrison to start and it's good to see him putting his team first. Brevin Knight and Raymond Felton are a really fun duo to watch. Like you said CelticBalla, I also see Adam starting before the all-star break.
