Jason Thompson very quiet off Kings' bench
Jason Thompson - F/C - Sacramento Kings
Feb. 2, 2013 - 11:35 PM ET

Jason Thompson came off the Kings' bench on Saturday for the first time this season, notching four points, four rebounds and one steal.

With Carmelo Anthony playing PF, Keith Smart opted for a smaller lineup than usual. However, he also shied away from using Thompson to match up with Amare Stoudemire in the second unit, and we've stopped guessing where his rotations will go on any given night. Even as a starter, JT had scored double-digit points just twice in the past 14 games.
