With Bogdan Bogdanovic now in Atlanta, the Sacramento Kings have a hole to fill in their starting lineup at the shooting guard position. Most people assumed that Buddy Hield would fill that hole, seeing as he started 44 games at shooting guard last season and all 82 games the season before, and while that could still end up being the case, Luke Walton hasn’t committed to giving Hield, the team’s highest-paid player, a spot in his first five.
“We’ve got a lot of new faces here, so we have to continue to look at what’s going to be best for our team,” Walton said in a Zoom conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
