Haynes: Kings think starting Westbrook over Schroeder will keep team moving forward

November 16th Today, the famous reporter Haynes talked about the topic of the Kings starting Westbrook and letting Schroeder come on the bench.

Haynes said: "The Kings started the season with a record of 3 wins and 9 losses. They replaced Schroeder in the starting position with Westbrook. This was a major change for them. Schroeder was signed by the Kings this summer with a three-year, $44 million contract to start, while Westbrook only signed the contract near the beginning of the season. This also shows that the Kings want to make urgent changes."

"If you have paid attention to the post-game speeches of Kings coach Christie in recent games, you will find that he has been They all emphasize defensive effort and energy, so something has to happen, and the Kings think this is the change that will allow them to move forward. What I want to explain is that in the last 4 games the Kings lost, their opponents averaged 130 points per game, during which their defensive efficiency ranked 27th in the league. Schroeder shot only 4 of 27 in these 4 games, so the Kings think this is the best change they can make. Let's see what effect their changes will have."
