The Los Angeles Lakers are planning to bring point guard Russell Westbrook off the bench in the final preseason game against the Sacramento Kings tonight.
The Lakers head coach Darvin Ham and Westbrook have been exploring the possibility of Westbrook quarterbacking the second unit and they’ll try it tonight.
There’s a hope that Westbrook can play freer and faster with the ball in his hands on the second unit – and have to worry less about fitting away from the ball around the starting group.
It is certainly an idea they’ll continue to discuss with the start of the regular season next week.
