Doug Christie came into training camp with a renewed focus on defense. Unfortunately for the Kings, Keegan Murray is out for the next several weeks with a thumb injury. This leaves the team without one of their top defenders and a huge hole in Christie's strategy.
It's no surprise that Christie is bringing a defensive focus to the team. When he was an NBA player, that was certainly how his game was structured. Christie was a defense-first kind of guy, making him a player any team needs because defense is always key.
That has been a huge issue for the Kings over the past few seasons.
