Domantas Sabonis Excited About DeMar DeRozan’s Arrival as Kings Eye Stronger Playoff Push
Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis expresses optimism about DeMar DeRozan joining the team, signaling a new dynamic as the Kings aim for a deeper playoff run this season.
Bollywood Fever: Sacramento Kings’ star Domantas Sabonis has expressed his excitement over the team’s new addition, DeMar DeRozan, signaling a promising shift for the Kings as they aim for a stronger playoff position this season.
The three-team sign-and-trade deal that brought DeRozan to Sacramento is widely regarded as a win for the Kings, who secured the best player in the transaction.
This move is expected to bolster the team’s performance, particularly after last season’s disappointing finish in the play-in game, where the Kings lost seven of their last 11 games.
Sabonis, eager to start the new season alongside DeRozan, shared his thoughts in a conversation with Matt George of KXTV.
“It’s going to make it so much harder for teams to guard us,” Sabonis said, emphasizing how DeRozan’s presence will add a new dimension to the team’s play.
“I think it’s gonna be good for us… We’re used to playing one style and he does something at a Hall of Fame level,” Sabonis added, highlighting the impact DeRozan’s experience and skill will bring to the court.
Despite being 34 years old, DeRozan continues to perform at a high level, as evidenced by his impressive showing in the Drew League over the summer.
His arrival has already sparked excitement among Kings fans, who are hopeful for a deep playoff run.
DeRozan himself is motivated to make a significant impact with his new team, as reported by Sergio Robles of FOX40.
“I want to be one of those guys that hits the beam. I will work my butt off more than ever to make sure the city gets what it deserves… I just want to win at the highest levels,” DeRozan stated, expressing his determination to succeed in Sacramento.
The Kings, who narrowly missed the playoffs in the highly competitive Western Conference last season, are taking a calculated risk by adding DeRozan.
However, the move is expected to pay off if DeRozan successfully integrates with the existing core.
The Kings’ season is set to tip off on October 23, when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.
