The Sacramento Kings are not in an enviable position. After losing their 2019 first-round pick due to one of the worst trades in recent memory a 2015 trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, they’re faced with a choice.
Should Head Coach Dave Joerger give guys like Zach Randolph, Kosta Koufos, Nemanja Bjelica and Iman Shumpert a big role in the rotation? Or should he prioritize playing the younger, first, second and third-year players?
The answer, like most things in life, lies somewhere in the middle. Allow me to explain. Kosta Koufos played just under 20 minutes per game last season, a number that shouldn’t dip below 10 this season.
