I have reported that Dave Joerger has a reputation for keeping team information in-house. That includes preseason starting lineups. The Sacramento Kings’ preseason lineups were experiments for seeing how some players would fit together on the floor. And the preseason also proved Joerger was hiding a secret.
Joerger planned to surprise the NBA world to begin the season. You knew something was up when Yogi Ferrell scored 26 points and then was shut down.
The Trick
Joerger threw out the statement that this team was not as far along as he wanted, according to Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.
