Things are Changing
Omri Casspi returned from his two-game absence against the Magic. He played 23 minutes and lead the bench in scoring. That and probably the match-up lead to Matt Barnes only seeing 9 minutes last night. I am not sure if that is a one game thing or something we should expect going forward. That is worth watching this weekend as the Kings play a back-to-back Saturday and Sunday.
The second big change was Arron Afflalo being limited to 18 minutes and Ben McLemore grabbing 28 minutes. McLemore had a very efficient and productive game against Orlando scoring the ball. In September, I wrote a long piece about McLemore and if the Kings should still value him here. I still believe in McLemore and would not be surprised to see this happening more often going forward. I will be monitoring who is getting the shooting guard minutes this weekend for Sacramento.
