Mike Brown says Keon Ellis in Kings starting unit to start camp

Unless the team got direct confirmation from the league that this would be the case then I think you have to start Keon and see what happens.

Obviously as a coaching staff you have to react as the league changes and evolves, but I don't think you make lineup changes based on a guess of how games may be officiated.

and I’m sure they have that information. Players have said they prefer the “new rules” and the fans don’t want to watch foul merchants flopping their way to the line all game.

Wondering depending on matchups if there was any practice switching 2 players for a starting 1 spot.

It's kind of hard for Brown to preach defense and then bench the guy most responsible for the Kings getting respectable on that end of the floor to add in another shooter/scorer who is poor defensively.

I love Huerter, but this would be a mistake that would make both the starting unit AND the bench far less balanced.

Yeah i really don’t see Mike Brown doing that. I just don’t think he wants to get in Huerter’s head and shake his confidence right now. No great coach is going to flat out say “there’s no chance he’ll ever start again”

Huerter has no room to be feel slighted, when Monk is sitting right there next to him
