Kevin Martin Moves to Starting Lineup in Place of Tayshaun Prince

Sam Mitchell announced on Sunday that he will move Kevin Martin to the starting lineup in place of Tayshaun Prince in order to get more offense on the floor to start the game.

Recognizing what has become clear, that having two offensive non-factors in the starting lineup is not workable long term, Sam Mitchell announced a change starting with tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, it's not the change most of us were hoping for: rather he is inserting Kevin Martin into the starting lineup in place of Tayshaun Prince, who has contributed defensively but has no offensive role whatsoever.
