The Sacramento Kings made a huge offseason move by adding experienced DeMar DeRozan to their ranks.
The six-time All-Star is set to play alongside De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and the Lithuanian center admits that the addition of the former Chicago Bulls swingman exceeded his expectations.
“Definitely. He’s a very smart player, has been in the league forever, and has done so much. I’m excited to learn from him, pick his brain, and I hope everyone else is too, so everyone gets better overall,” Sabonis said to FOX40’s Sean Cunningham.
It’s safe to say that he is looking forward to playing alongside DeRozan.
“I’m happy he is here. Then, getting to spend that week with him in L.A. and getting to know him more, I’m really excited.”
He tried to explain how DeRozan’s style of play would fit with his and the Sacramento team in general.
“I think it’s going to be good for us. It will make us think differently on the court, move differently, and read each other. We are used to playing one style, but he does something at a Hall of Fame level that we’re going to have to play around, and it’s going to make it so much harder for teams to guard us because we can basically score from anywhere,” Sabonis said.
