On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Barbara Mason:

#1 Looking at Wednesday night’s matchup, how do you see the Los Angeles Kings containing the Los Angeles Clippers’ wing scorers like Kawhi Leonard and point guards—do you expect any specific defensive wrinkles?”

#2 Coach Doug Christie mentioned player development this preseason—who are you keeping an eye on Wednesday night among the younger guys trying to crack the rotation?”

#3 The Kings and Clippers have had some fireworks in the past couple seasons. Do you think there’s still a little extra juice in this matchup, even in the preseason?”

#4 One thing that’s been heard in camp is a focus on defense and rebounding. What are the keys Wednesday night for Sacramento to control the glass and limit second chances?”

#5 Big picture, what do you see the Kings accomplishing Wednesday night that shows they’re progressing toward opening night form?
