Keith Smart ready to tighten Kings rotation

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Sacramento Kings

Jan. 18, 2013 - 4:40 PM ET

Keith Smart said that he's going to tighten up the Kings rotation.

On Wednesday, Smart played Tyreke Evans, John Salmons and DeMarcus Cousins each at least 22 minutes in the second half, and it appears Smart is going to tighten things up off his bench. It's about time Smart settled on a consistent rotation rather than try and go nine or ten deep every night, but his proclivity to say one thing and do another has left fantasy owners and Kings fans frustrated all season. One name to watch is Jimmer Fredette, who appears to be getting a chance to really contribute at this point. He played 21 minutes in his last game, compared to 19.5 for Isaiah Thomas and 7.5 minutes for Marcus Thornton.
