With the Sacramento Kings looking for any kind of spark on offense other than DeMarcus Cousins, the guys at Kings blogCowbell Kingdom debate whether rookie Malachi Richardson is worthy of a starting spot. The No. 22 pick out of Syracuse has only played in five games this season, but he's shown that he has the size and skills to match up with NBA talent.



Do you think the soon to be 21-year-old is ready to be thrown into the mix?



Leo Beas and Matt George of Cowbell Kingdom go in-depth about Dave Joerger telling the local media that he plans on giving Malachi Richardson an extended look in the upcoming games. They also discuss why the Sacramento Kings have failed in developing the players they drafted in the past 10 years. Finally, is it too early to talk playoffs for the Kings? The Kings currently sit as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Matt and Leo break it down.
