Carmelo Anthony certainly doesn’t want to come off the bench, but the Houston Rockets might not give him a choice.
Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said Monday that he has yet to decide if Anthony will start for the Rockets or come off the bench, saying he prefers to wait and see how his pieces best fit together.
Mike D’Antoni is leaving it open on whether Melo starts or comes off the bench: “We’ll see how it fits. I don’t know how they play together, they fit together.”

The coach has given some hints on how Anthony will be used, but it didn’t include a promise to start. It’s hard to believe Anthony would accept a bench role, but it’s not clear he has a say in the matter.
