Kings' Doug McDermott: Does little in starting role
Doug McDermott closed with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over Utah.The Sacramento Kings continue to experiment with schemes to absorb DeMar DeRozan's (back) production with mixed results, and McDermott didn't solve the equation. Given Trey Lyles' proficiency as a shot-taker, employing a larger lineup might solve the issue if DeRozan's absence is extended, allowing Keegan Murray to move over to make room for a Lyles/Domantas Sabonis (back) combo up front. Given Saturday's results, Murray should return to his customary role, with McDermott possibly headed back to the bench.

Kings' Doug McDermott: Posts 14 points in loss
Doug McDermott posted 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt) and five rebounds across 25 minutes in Thursday's 113-91 loss to the Clippers.McDermott's order in the rotation is unclear as the season begins, but he could be the odd man out if Kevin Huerter's play improves from last season. Huerter will already struggle for playing time behind DeMar DeRozan and Keon Ellis, and Malik Monk should reclaim his role as Sacramento's sixth man. The rotation will crystallize further once the regular season gets underway.
