Doug Christie has a lot of big decisions to make as the new head coach of the Sacramento Kings. A major one will be balancing court time between rookies and veterans. For the health of the franchise, both now and in the future, players like DeRozan and Westbrook should play off the bench.
The Kings are not lacking in a veteran presence. DeMar DeRozan is going into his 17th season, while Russell Westbrook is starting his 18th season. That's a lot of experience between two of the most tenured players in the league today whose last name isn't James.
