Odd game. If they didn't show the score at all, I would have guessed that the Kings got outscored by 30+. They also looked like they got out rebounded by 10+. Yet somehow they wound up with the same amount of rebounds as the Pistons and even had 3 more offensive rebounds.

Seemed like they had to work twice as hard to score the ball as the Pistons did, yet they still wound up within 10 at the end.

This seems to be the "identity" that the Kings are trying to develop. This game was watchable mainly because the team was trying hard despite the opponent being talented. The youngsters are getting to play more and are invoking a "play hard" and "do your best" attitude. Even DeRozan seems to be responding to the energy at times on defense. Like what I see.

Exactly! And I think this situation has spoken well to the true professional that DeMar is...he struggled with the scheme, difficult expectations from an inexperienced coach, and the weight of his own accomplishments but eventually put his ego aside to rise to new challenges and embrace a new reality (which he's succeeding nicely at).

For the month of December DeRozans putting up 20/4/4 on 55/36/87 splits. I could definitely see a team lacking a creator give up a late 1st or a few seconds for him at the deadline.

But in today’s NBA he should play the 2 and let Keegan play the 3.

As the main guy on arguably the worst team in the NBA who is catered to by the Kings coaching staff at 37 years old and often been a poor playoff performer should not even get a 2nd round pick.

To me DDR is the WORST signing in Kings history regardless of the fact he's a pro and his quality stats, he tanked what was a solid team and made everyone regret not having Harrison Barnes who was very meh, his refusal to go to the bench (like Schroder has done and found a excellent role for himself) ball stopping and terrible defense are way the Kings are such a trash team. Keon Ellis brings way more winning impact even Monk did when he was allowed to play and didn't have to defer to the ball hog in DDR
