Domantas Sabonis explains what makes the Sacramento Kings Big Three tough to defend

After acquiring six-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection DeMar DeRozan, the Sacramento Kings have their own version of Big Three with him, Domantas Sabonis, and De'Aaron Fox.

Between the three of them, defenses will have their hands full trying to guard them. That much is obvious. Last season, the three players averaged a combined 70 PPG. That number probably won't continue now that they are all on the same team, but it is impressive nonetheless.

But just in case you need an explanation of how dominated the trio will be, Sabonis is here to tell you. And here is what he had to say about the matter during a recent conversation with HoopsHype's Michael Scotto.

"Everyone knows what Fox can do. He’s been the Clutch Player of the Year. Whenever we need a bucket, he has it. We all know about DeMar. He’s been in the league a long time and has a lot of respect. I think it’s tough. Teams are going to have to put the best defender on one of those two guys, and then the other one will be loose. It’s going to put us in a good area. For all those rankings, let’s see how the season plays out. We’ll be ready to come in and go after it," Sabonis told Scotto in an interview.

The reason people pay so much for great role players (like the New York Knicks with Mikal Bridges) is because they are in scarce supply.

When you have two high end offensive creators like Fox and DeRozan, you are at a massive advantage. That's because few teams roster two great perimeter defenders. So, when teams play the Kings, they will have to make a decision about who they want to use their great perimeter defender on, and who they want to risk putting a weaker defender on.

This is a similar problem that teams run into when playing a team like the Boston Celtics. The Celtics have Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown – two big ballhandlers who can create their own shot. In the playoffs, defenses had to decide who they wanted to stick their best defender on. Oftentimes, that player was Tatum, and as a result, Brown was able to dominate.

Fox and DeRozan have the potential to profit off one another and punish opponents in a similar way. And this is all without factoring in the mismatch that the human ox Sabonis is. Man, the Kings have a chance to be a very dangerous offense.
