The Bench Is Much Deeper
Guess what? This is the deepest Kings team in recent memory, and you love to see it. With contributors such as Darren Collison, Marco Belinelli, Caron Butler, WCS, and Omri Casspi, this team is going to turn heads.
The question remains: will George Karl be able to manage the various units? Last night, I would’ve liked to see more play out of Willie Cauley-Stein and Caron Butler.
Hopefully Karl will learn to tinker with lineups given the flow of the game. For now, I respect his coaching acumen and winning experience.
