Sacramento Bee sports writer Ailene Voisin suggested that Paul Westphal might change the starting line-up again, and she's thinking it be Francisco Garcia for Omri Casspi. I agree with her, although I said it a couple weeks ago.
Omri Casspi is a talented player, but his defense needs work. He's 6'9", but he's not strong enough to defend power forwards and too slow to defend small forwards. Francisco Garcia has always been a decent defender. You also don't lose much in offense. With him in the starting line-up, there'll be better ballhandling too.
Sure, it's a small line-up, but Omri Casspi's not really using his size to his advantage. Fancisco Garcia and Tyreke Evans are both big enough to defend other small forwards.
I think Tyreke should let Beno or Garcia push the tempo more. Tyreke tends to walk the ball up the court which allows other teams to set up their defense. The Kings, as of now, don't have a good enough post player to play half-court offense. Not until DeMarcus Cousins get more games under his belt.
