Kevin McHale won't guarantee Ty Lawson a starting job
The Houston Rockets made a big splash when they acquired Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets this offseason. The Rockets had been rumored to add a playmaking point guard for years, and Lawson finally accomplishes that.
With that being said, Rockets head coach Kevin McHale isn't going to exactly guarantee that Lawson will be his starting point guard on opening night, believe it or not.
Here's what McHale told Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle:
Rockets coach Kevin McHale raved about the skills Ty Lawson will bring and how well those skills will fit. He would not, however, assume that Lawson will start over the incumbent at the point, Pat Beverley, or how the minutes will be distributed.
“They’ll determine that,” McHale said before a Rockets event on Tuesday to unveil three new alternate uniforms. “We’ll find out. Can we play them together? Maybe. We’ll put them out there. We had 28 days of camp. We’ll decide who will get the lion’s share of the minutes. One will and one will be a backup.”
