Like the title says, I think Vezenkov should’ve gotten more playing time in the second half last night. It felt like one of those nights, similar to last season, where the team struggled with three-point shots, and the defense suffered. I know Vezenkov isn’t great on defense, but I’ve been pretty impressed with how he positions himself and grabs rebounds. There’s definitely room for improvement with the Kings, but I believe Sasha has a bright future with the team.
Or slide Monk as the starting 2 so Sasha can be the first guy off the bench. That would mean Davion will be the primary playmaker though which right now is really not a good idea.
That idea also doesn’t improve the starting unit’s defense, which is why Duarte stealing the spot is far more likely.
