Domantas Sabonis recently shared his thoughts on how DeMar DeRozan will impact the Sacramento Kings’ game following DeRozan’s arrival in a sign-and-trade deal with the Chicago Bulls.
Sabonis believes that DeRozan’s addition will significantly enhance the Kings’ offensive dynamics.
“I think it’s going to be good for us,” Sabonis stated, expressing optimism about the new possibilities DeRozan brings to the team.
He noted that DeRozan’s unique skill set will force the Kings to adjust their style of play, creating more complexity for opposing defenses.
Sabonis emphasized that the team will need to “think differently on the court” and “move differently” to fully integrate DeRozan’s Hall of Fame-level talents.
This adjustment, according to Sabonis, will make it more challenging for teams to guard the Kings, as they will now have multiple scoring options across the floor.
Sabonis highlighted that the Kings, who were already known for their fast-paced and versatile offense, will become even more difficult to defend with DeRozan in the mix.
DeRozan, a six-time NBA All-Star, brings a wealth of experience and scoring ability to Sacramento, having averaged 24 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game last season.
His proficiency in mid-range shooting and ability to create his own shot are expected to complement the Kings’ existing strengths, particularly in high-pressure situations.
