As first reported by Jason Jones of The Athletic, Buddy Hield will be coming off of the bench in tonight’s game between the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls. Bogdan Bogdanovic will instead make his first start of the season.
While the shakeup is certainly news coming from the franchise, this particular move has been rumored and called for for weeks now. Hield has endured quite the regression during the Kings current losing skid, and his decision-making and defense have been questioned throughout the season.
Bogdanovic is far better in both of those categories than Hield is, especially with the decision making.
