Crazy that he has a better overall game than he did at this point last year, when he should have been the opening night starter.....and now he will likely average much less than 20 minutes a game

Normally I’d be against it but Luka is a Saric-level defender so I get it haha
On a normal good organization, they'd start the guy capable of being on a All-Defensive team and shooting 40%+ from 3.
Unfortunately, we are not that

Keon and Devin guarding up top on a last shot. Too bad we won't be seeing that much this year haha.

I’m not sure he’s a great defender by any means but Eubanks plays aggressive and doesn’t get killed on switches so I don’t really mind him but I really don’t get why we’re using Dario so much.

Yeah, Eubanks is a really good big for the combo of Schroder and LaVine on offense too. He doesn't need the ball, he just sets screens and runs.

The Kings are young, it's just deep inside an older outer shell.

Westbrook might be better than Schroeder

Who will average more time on the floor, Monk or Keon?

Keon starting to look like...Keon! 
Monk.
Which, Monk is/was very valuable... until we added 2 more guards that more or less provide the same sort of skill set in Dennis and Russ. So instead of increasing Keon's role, which we desperately need his defense and shooting on the floor (as a bad defensive team), we instead are going to bury him behind a bunch of duplicative skill-sets.
Same deal with Carter. Sac media kept trashing this guy all off-season about how "not ready" he is offensively... and meanwhile our offense has been flat out bad in the preseason and we're the same bad defensive team as last year. So instead of investing in a special defensive talent and hoping he can develop offensively... we're burying him on the depth chart.
Can we just extend Keon already so we can go into this season and breath easy that He is part of the future.Keon starting to look like...Keon!

Par for the course from a low iQ organization (owner)

Eubanks was definitely undersold in the coverage of his joining the team. Not a stellar shooter yet, but great on defense and hits FT's.

9/10 on fg for little man and big man is annoying
