Keon Ellis cannot grow without the one thing the Kings won't give him

Every other team in the league seems to see something in Keon Ellis. The only one who doesn't is, for some reason, the Sacramento Kings. They keep refusing to give him what he needs to develop properly, and that is minutes. Without time on the court, he's going to stay at the level he's at.

The fans in the stands at Golden 1 Center are perpetually perplexed about the status of Ellis. He's a fan favorite player with a huge upside, particularly on defense. And this Kings' roster is in desperate need of good defensive players. It's supposedly head coach Doug Christie's focus.
